Dokko

Fair play to him. Hadn't realised it had come out. Hope he gets his head back in the game, for us or someone else.

I like DCL but he seems to suffer from mental health issues (according to gossip, but explain a lot, maybe even some of his lengthy 'injuries') There aren't many out there which go through it and recapture their best form. It's a tough one, but I think at this stage he's worth a punt around the £30m mark and with Ekiteke coming in as well. I don't think we could rely on him and Wilson, knowing out luck both would.be out at the same time.

Probably, if that's where we're heading then don't expect much from the new regime. You'd hope they'd be trying to sell all CB's bar Burn & Schar and trying to find 2 new CB's who can displace them long term.

Bailly is shite. Don't think he'd get in the team tbh.

Wonder what position Mbappe intends to play him?

Haven't been back since

Doesn't get enough airing.

That poster man. Come to Sunderland for Premier league football advertised in the airport the 1 season we went down. ?

Got the word Newcastle in it.

He must be loving life atm. Compared to when he couldn't even show his face around town a year ago.

Le Piss didn't head the ball that much, did he?

I'd throw everything we could at Sterling if there was even the slightest outside chance he'd come here.

Haaland £130m release clause and wants move to Madrid in 2 seasons. Loyalty 1 on fm.

They signed anyone yet? Be interesting to see what ambitions they have this season. May have even heard of 1 or 2 of them this time.

I know signing decent players takes time, more than picking up the scraps like we're usually used to, but I'd like to see us move on to other positions if we're not ready yet to move on to other targets. I get they want their no1 targets in. They've worked hard on those deals and it seems many forces are working against them, so I have no issue with them sticking to their guns. But I do hope they can start progressing bids for other areas in the team. It may be happening in the background, but chatter seems to be were ultra focused on these 2 signings and everything else is secondary. I'm sure it'll all come together, if not Botman and Ekiteke then another 2 very good options, I just hope they don't miss other targets in other potions whilst their focus and time is being drained by agents and club shinanigans.

BTW if a keeper starts passing it out of defence and his team is setup for the long distribution then ges getting dropped or the ball is coming back at him from defenders not comfortable on the ball. Same goes the other way. A keepers distribution is very tactical and not personal.

Wood & Darlow for Pope.

His 1 and only clean sheet of the season against us on opening day.

Hhmmm. Wallsend the beacon of hope and freedom. Who'd have thunked it?

I do wonder if Scotland left if theyd accept Geordie asylum seekers. I live closer to Edinburgh than I do London and if they leave, I'd rather join them and let little England craic on and tory their way in to oblivion. If the Tyne could be the hard border I'd be Buzzing.

Officially a Saga now.

Peedos, Poopers...

Absolutely pointless. Whole event tbh.

That crowd is pathetic
