I think we know we need a squad, we just find it hard to accept that the subs are actually going to be good enough that they could be starters.

You could use it as much as you'd like really but fundamentally the club crest is the one we have now. I dunno, it's a fine line between something good and something horrible with these things. Look at Villa for an example of how not to do it.

We need another 3-4 positions this summer (at least) where new additions make those positions as strong as the left-wing spot We need a Gordon/Barnes situation in multiple areas rather than taking away one.

People just haven’t got used to having/needing a squad because we’ve never been so competitive and on so many fronts. They think that the second someone isn’t first team every week then they’re not good enough and need to be sold.

The general gist of the colours are right. From memory (I don't have a photo of it to hand)... Blue shirt (exact shade I can't remember but KIs guess is close). Orange Sela logo. Trefoil. Crest in a shield. Orange stripes on shoulder. Green trim. So yeah, that KI design is close. Might not be absolutely bang on, but close.

I've seen a lot of people on matchday etc. wearing that strip recently. Obviously DHGate specials so maybe it's just adidas tapping in to the fact that's what's popular at the moment? Obviously the strip was from a shit time but I've fond memories of it purely because I was only 8 or 9 at the time - maybe the reason everyone else is wearing it.

Big green egg, yes. Asda disposable one, less so.

Completely agree, with City arguably having two 11's (just underperformed for whatever reason this season). We're now in the realms where you buy new purples, and the current starting 11 member to drop out becomes your bench first-teamer. Not backup.

Wonder if we can get Amad here.

Yes, pretty much. The blue is very slightly different, but close.

Slightly strange to use such a dodgy kit and dodgy period of history for a modern shirt IMO.

At the end of the day, Gordon and Barnes are going to get plenty of game time next year, whether we're in Champions League or Europa. There's no need at all to sell either.

Perfect thing for an ITK to have a wild guess at. It's perfectly plausible and you can claim credit if it happens. A broken clock is right twice a day.

But it's definitely that colourway? And trefoil badge?

Closest leak/mockup of the 3rd kit I've seen so far is this. Not bang on, but close. We also get a long sleeve version of that one this year, which looks cool.

That’s what I mean, it’s awful. PS thanks for teaching me a new word.

In the Ashley days it was first-team and then backups. In this era it's stars and first-team then backups. With like 4 backups for each area of the pitch. Not 8 or 9 backup players, that squad can't compete on multiple fronts. You need about 18 first-teamers. The top squads in the PL have about that.

It's absolutely gopping, man!

I said capable. Although you can probably run more than Wilson tbf.

Will the third kit be the blue and orange one close to what has been leaked?

I'll do it.

Their displays are such a cheap, tatty, half arsed attempt to match Wor Flags. Which is great cause you just know they'll watching our wonderful displays and be burning with rage deep inside, knowing that our displays looks class and they don't have a (black) cat in hells chance of organising anything on that scale. But they're not physically programmed to give us any sort of credit so they'll put it all down to 'Saudi backed flags'. Eventhough their displays are horrific, I'd naturally want to give kudos to the fan groups who at least put in the time and effort to give it a go, but they're a bitter bunch of wretched cunts so fuck them and their pish displays. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that shite can pay to greatness.

If we're right that Isak is carrying, and has previously carried, injuries, then the club has a real responsibility - not least to Isak himself - to ensure he has a highly capable deputy next season.

I'm sure this is a whoosh, but just in case it isn't, this kit is absolutely 100% the kit (or a really really close fake). I have photos of the official authentic kit on my phone (not the standard one, granted), but all the features align correctly. The trefoil is a feature of the 3rd kit this year.
