Was watching Sky Sports PL Years last night and had me thinking about the amount of Man Utd players who ended up at Sunderland, was way more than I thought Like a nursing home for players managed by Sir Alex

Wijnaldum Was one of the all no time great threads on there. Went from top class unreal signing to utter shit and will be a total failure. If I remember there was nearly a couple of hundred pages. The change in attitude was great 🤣

I remember vividly because I couldn’t believe what you were saying I actually thought you were pretending to have watched him or like.. racism was blinding you to his very obvious skill set. You were describing a very basic West African winger type. At worst Kudus is a Mercurial talent. You were saying he has a genuine lack of footballing ability/talent beyond athleticism, couldn’t believe it. Sulemana is closer to the description you were giving. I prefer Kudus because of the higher ceiling. In the right environment Kudus could be a world class player. Surprisingly good in the air, beats a man, shoot off both feet, a threat from range, work in tight spaces, find a pass etc. under Howe Kudus could go to the moon or at very least hit career highs. He has that bit of magic. I think that’s reflected in the fact West Ham would probably want a larger fee than Elanga despite having a poorer season last go out.

No, because he's a lazy player who would demand silly wages and is the wrong profile and plays in a position where we've already got 2 excellent players. It's nothing but agent/paper talk trying to drive up interest elsewhere through fear of missing out on him due to us signing him, there's next to no chance we're after him for about 5 different reasons, each of which alone would be enough to torpedo the deal.

As his team are looking into warm weather locations I cant see the need to be worried just yet. Whoever gets rashford this year will get the season of his life, it's the season after id worry about. A 1 year loan this year will see the old Rashford

No meltdown regarding the Rashford rumours?

Whereas if we'd signed him it would have been "he's fucking shite, richest club in the world hahaha, FTM"

A reminder that both Eales and Mitchell are still employed by the club and if they wanted to, could put an end to this shirt coming out.

Noon, yet again, ruining a top.

A lot of those negative scenarios can be guarded against by making a signing like Pedro. Not only someone who can play alongside Isak, but someone who can potentially fill in if we end up selling in a year's time.

Was linked with the mags marra. They'll be fewming if we get him 😂. FTM

We actually have to overperform season on season to qualify for the CL. The big clubs not only have more spending power, but they can hit us with a double whammy by using it to sign the players we need to close the gap. We already lost Delap and probably Cunha and Mbuemo to direct competitors. If you believe the rumours we might lose Pedro and Trafford to them as well.

But it does show that being a massive club is relative. Liverpool are a major city so always had potential to be a big club because of their catchment area. Paris would be similar I imagine for the same reason, and also the international awareness being France's premier city.

Be like when they signed Phil Babb, or Dominic Matteo.

It’s true prior to the 1974 cup final against us we were on the same number of trophies, they played in front of 20k crowds pre Shankly.

Very true, that’s why I mentioned Shankly in the post 😆 From memory and happy to be corrected they were back rolled by the family behind the football pools competition around then too.

If the lettering is orange is screaming for a classic players name

I would be surprised if Forest sustain last seasons form. It will be the usual cartel 6 battling for 5 spots, with us and Villa trying to overcome the odds. Ultimately I think we will be well ahead of Villa in 5 years and revenue will be close to spurs.

I heard that Liverpool weren't really considered a big team until Shankly's era, then they had massive success in the league and in Europe and that cemented them as legends across the world. How much of that is true I don't know.

Up there with this as our worst shirt ever

Badge aside, that’s pretty cool imo.

be plenty of cleavage’s on show.

Kudus for sure (I loved St Max and think he'd have done well under this Howe side with genuine talent around him, was our only bright spark in a sea of shit).

I don't think there'll be many clubs that always finish in the CL at the moment. Maybe only the top 3. Depending on Man U/Spurs recovery and Forest/Villa maintenance I guess. It's extremely competitive.

That's laughably shit.
