Did they even need a left back?

Routine, STTNTR, getting away from the wife, living on a council estate. Or something.

Mina to Everton confirmed

Can’t even pretend that diame’s an option there this summer either.

£2m a year over 3 years I guess.

Nah don’t believe a word. Green light for 3.

My new boo boy. Although I doubt he'll play much.

Absolute zero chance he gets a work permit. Sigh. He's shit anyway.

People can't see it though and this is what fucked Sunderland. They loaned players that they knew wouldn't sign permanently or had no intention to. They then were behind the 8 ball at the start of the next season as straight away they needed to replace these players before anything else was done just to stand still It eventually catches up with you and disaster strikes we are then left with a squad full of shit that no one wants Signing players from relegated clubs is also a recipe for disaster This clubs transfer policy is the absolute worst in this division by a mile the club is fucked while Ashley is owner and I wholly believe we don't belong in this league while he's here we certainly don't even attempt to compete I'm absolutely certain that they just pull names out of a hat for players because I'm certain that if Rafa could get who he wants the vast majority of our squad would be binned off Well, people can see it.

"Rafa can have every penny the club generates" x 2. Rafa surely has enough evidence for a constructive dismissal case, should he walk! Sorry to be so blunt, but people saying this kind of thing have no clue as to how constructive dismissal cases work. I hate Ashley and what he's done to our club as much as anyone, but him refusing to spend money is not in any way grounds for a constructive dismissal case. He is well within his rights to spend nothing, if he so desires. Here's some examples of what constitutes constructive dismissal, from a prominent law firm's website: a unilateral significant reduction of your salary, or the threat of a reduction ; being demoted without good reason; allegations of poor performance which are unfounded; disciplinary proceedings which are manifestly unreasonable; a complete change in the nature of your job; harassing or bullying ; stress at work, that has not been properly addressed; failing to make reasonable adjustments where you have a disability; being forced to work in breach of health and safety laws. Literally none of those apply, and certainly "being generally useless, changing his mind about funds and being a bit of a smug cunt" simply aint on the list. He's a shite, even horrific, employer and totally incompetent and leaching the club dry, but I can't see where a constructive dismissal claim would come from unless you want to illuminate me? See Keegan, Kevin.

We all know full well they'll come out saying that the money was there for Rafa to spend, it just didn't happen.

Our likely starting line up for the weekend? Just under £50m ignoring loan fees.

He's an average league one striker. Didn't look great at Scunny tbh, and didn't seem to gel well with the rest of the squad.

I think he was being sarcastic dude.

We aren’t signing anyone that’s not on loan so can rule out any players linked from other English clubs. Unless there's an obligation to buy. Then we can loan 3 more I think.

Think this is a thread that shouldn't be bumped today tbh #irony

Absolute zero chance he gets a work permit.

Add to the Championship promotion attempt warchest.

Domestic yeah.

Can't loan him. We can if there's an obligation to buy.

So was this guy really an Ashley cronie or just a Makem on the wind up ? He's one of those people who defends the McCann's all over social media I bet.

They’ll completely skip over it

Loan surely?

He’s already put his money into Everton (yes, illegally but he’s gotten away with it) so it’s not going to happen Unless you read the previous page, where he, you know, hasn’t.
