Courtney on Di Canio, Mignolet, Coloccini and Kinnear

talkSPORT's man in the northeast discusses the latest news emanating from Sunderland and Newcastle.

He looks at reports that Black Cats boss Paolo Di Canio is going to fine players who turn up to pre-season training overweight and admits goalkeeper Simon Mignolet is likely to leave the Stadium of Light and join Liverpool. But, in better news, Tottenham left-back Danny Rose could return after a successful loan spell last year.

Meanwhile, at St James' Park, Courtney admits he'd be flabbergasted if Joe Kinnear returned as a director of football and looks at the news Fabricio Coloccini will be staying with Newcastle United.
