Loads of Sunderland fans have been bashing Newcastle this weekend, after the Magpies agreed a huge fee to sell Aleksandar Mitrovic to Fulham.
According to Sky Sports, Newcastle have agreed to sell Mitrovic to Premier League newcomers Fulham for a fee of £22m, potentially rising to £27m.
The Serbian striker is not the man Rafael Benitez wants to lead his line, but plenty of Newcastle fans are very fond of “Mitro”.
The towering youngster isn’t the most technically gifted, but he loves getting stuck in and has scored some big goals for the Magpies.

Still, it’s clear that fans in Wearside don’t feel the same way about the striker, and they’re stunned by price tag for a player who has just 14 Premier League goals to his name.
The Black Cats have of course been taken down twice by the infamous Ellis Short, and they can’t quite comprehend why their rivals are complaining about an owner that makes a tidy profit on a player his manager didn’t want.
Mike Ashley of takes a lot of stick from Newcastle fans, but compared to what Short did on Wearside they should perhaps count themselves lucky, or at least that’s what these Sunderland fans think.
