Steady on

What a great name.

It's not like people usually buy the kit because of the amazing design.

Mike fucking Ashley.

My eyes just automatically form a swastika when I look at that shirt's pattern.

With no leaks (so far), there's nothing to suggest that this isn't our new home kit.

Please stop posting Fbljoe links.

and thats exactly what will happen.

1998 . . .

These international jobs almost seem to carry a separate reputational ranking that seems completely untethered to league football. Like, does anyone think Martinez could get a high profile jobs in any of the top 4 leagues in Europe? Wouldn't shock me to see Southgate end up with something daft like the Belgium job.

Well that sounds perfectly fair and fine.

New Saudi shirt - that would have been an absolutely OUTSTANDING away shirt for us (with the round NUFn badge). Much better than the throwback one we are getting.

He just has to stay with us for the next 8-10 years and stay relatively fit, we don't need to be on any kind of trajectory. A fit Isak scores at least 20-25/season across all competitions. Shearer was 26 when he joined us IIRC. Isak's 24 now, and already has 35 goals for us. He's just got to stay, and stay fit. If we *do* go on the trajectory we hope (and expect?), Isak can absolutely demolish Shearer's record and put it beyond anyone for a very long time.

I think the reasons we consider him is for the reasons above, that we feel that there is untapped potential there and if Howe can get him to be more consistent then we have a bargain. Worth remembering that Isak didn’t make the grade at Dortmund either, so I don’t think that would put the club off.

It probably already has, maybe they've signed up with new alter egos after the drama of the last one.

Love it. This is the sort of interview I want to read in the slow slow months of summer.

Nah, this one always seemed the one which would attract less attention from a cartel club, maybe because he's considered a hybrid defender rather than an out and out CB. Plus his injury record probably has a few clubs second guessing whereas I assume Howe has some inside knowledge which gives him more confidence in the player.

Tbh, I'm quite surprised we've left it to City, if they weren't going to take on the authorities then we would need to do it at some point if the talk about our ambitions were true. Maybe given City's legal situation we thought we could bide our time, which is fair enough, but it's set us back a couple of years.

So, next few weeks then…..before he gets signed by a different club… I don’t know whether it’s the ITK’s or whoever, but I wish they’d shut the fuck up and let the club get on with who they’re targeting without leaking it… just being impatient as I know we’ll come good…

FtblJoe is full of shit, sadly

Anchoring appears to be dead The last few paragraphs are a laugh too

This is great Gazza in fine form https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-rest-is-football/id1701022490?i=1000657864955

Anyone else not comfortable with Chelsea having a full month to decide they'd actually like Lloyd Kelly as well?

That's how I would see it, he'll cover for Burn at CB if for any reason he's out injured.
