Mackems After Toon Cast-Off!
If the rumours from Mackemland are right ... our old mate Titus Bramble could be swapping the blue and white stripes of Wigan for the red and white of Scumland! The Sunderland Echo reports tonight that the 'Unwashed' are considering a bid for the former Toon central defender. Black Cats boss Steve Bruce is a long-standing admirer of the man who never seemed to get anything right at St James' Park. Now, with Sunderland looking to miss out on free agent Sol Campbell (who looks a good bet to join the Toon) the Wigan 28-year-old is seen as the next bestr option. Bruce inherited the former Newcastle centre-half when he took over the reins at Wigan in 2007 and was well aware of the defender's calamitous reputation from his time on Tyneside. Bruce is set to receive £1.5m from Cardiff City as the last instalment of the Michael Chopra sale, as well as £1.5m from Celtic for the sale of Daryl Murphy. And don't you just LOVE the quote from the Echo: "Sunderland fans are likely to be understandably sceptical."
