I think the Aer Lingus ahead of them will delay the arrival 😂 

The Belfast flight has just gone into a holding pattern...

Need to raise some capitals to get the best one.

Why are we loaning Che then as opposed to selling?

Just saw that. They never do that for me when I’m coming up fast behind a turbo-prop! 

[S-Clarke]

Is there any reason why he is described as injury prone?

I can literally only see one bad injury in his entire career, which can happen to anyone, so I'm not sure how that equates to him being injury prone. Fair enough, if he had a few ankle injuries over the years etc - but he hasn't.

“Exceptionally smart signing ..,”  seems far from that way to me bearing in mind he might not be fit to play for another 5-6 weeks.

Hope it proves to live up to the billing Alfie House gives it and we’re not left cursing the weeks we had without a decent recognised striker.

Aer Lingus still coming in first... Although Stewart just overtook it at 7,000 feet

Think I saw he had a couple of hamstring strains, nothing really to warrant being called injury prone though.

Going for a St Mary's fly-by before landing?!

Yeah, nothing major though - missed weeks at best, which again is pretty common for a lot of players.

He's certainly not injury prone from what I can see.

[Colinjb]

Any spotters at the airport to stalk him as he comes through arrivals?

Sounds like a bit of an aggressive overtake. 

Who's the pilot.. Nathan Jones?

"Missed the airport mate..."

 

[Saint Scott]

Are we sure Paintsil isn't on board instead?

Sightseeing tour of the south coast...

Signing for East Cowes Vics instead

Deal off 🚨

Hamstring about 2 years apart followed by this bad one. Wouldn't call it injury prone no

[trousers]

And now for the scrotum?

 

[Smirking_Saint]

Im actually quite excited about this signing, he looks a top top signing

By the sounds of it Sunderland were planning on a friendly to get him match fit, and he was enquired about for an international call up

So I reckon we’ll lose him for a month maybe.. be interesting to see what we do in his absence but I think we’ll be ok.. A fit Stewart could be integral to a strong promotion push

[trousers]

FFS, land the f**Ker!

For the record, size doesn't matter, it's the size of the hand.

Me too. I didn’t know a lot about him until we were linked earlier in the window but I think him and Harwood-Bellis are going to make a huge difference. Midfield looked good already, defence now looks good and we may just be about the sign the goalscorer we need.

He’s house spotting now.

hope they at least sorted him out a ham and cheese panini on the way down.

I reckon a few Sunderland fans have just pooled their life savings and rented the plane, big old dong over Southampton then back in time for bed.

[Yorkshire Saint]

Is anyone at the airport with camera in hand ?

Tall Paul is on the runway at Eastleigh waiting to go to Belgium so they’re having to fly around him for now

[Baird of the land]

Let's hope he's the new ricky lambert.

Sunderland forums were suggesting he’s been in light training and they were trying to organise a behind closed doors friendly in the international break for him.

Most comments I've heard are late September.

[The Kraken]

Touchdown.

No inflight meal but when I flew Loganair to Edinburgh they gave us a Caramel bar with a cup of tea or coffee.

Flew from Edinburgh to Southampton this morning.

Never saw a caramel bar?!?

 

[Convict Colony]

Guys would we really be expecting a guy to fly down on a cheap commercial jet for a medical if we were spending 10m on him ?

Surely a quick PJ with a BJ on his way down here.

[miserableoldgit]

I would have thought that he would have stayed in Sunderland and we would bring him back on Saturday....along with three points!!

Yeah wouldn't Wilcox normally travel with the team ? I expect for this one he's stayed behind to manage chaos.

Bet he can't wait for a break in the international break.

so was Carillos throughout his career.

[Ball boy]

I have a number of Sunderland supporting mates and they all have no doubt if he is fit he’s the best striker in the league.
