Most draws in the league?

Chelsea are trash.

He did with Thauvin, and some extent Cabella, then instead of sticking with them loaned them back out at the first sign of them not fitting. We'd have had to keep Thauvin last year in the Championship and could now be sitting on a £50-60m player. I personally think Ashley likes the loan market, and see's a big use for it with himself being cheap. One less crutch for him to fall back on is fine by me. Same for clubs like Sunderland, they'd have been down 5 seasons ago. Without the loan market Mitro and Sels would be depreciating in the reserves, instead we might get 20mil+ combined for them. It works both ways. Loans needs capped not scrapped. Well we wouldn't loan Slimani and Mitro would be getting his minutes. We've signed so many players like Sels, 4-5th choice at best, not good enough, total punt at best and its blown up in our faces. You'd hope they'd be a more measured approach in future without the safety net of being able to loan failed players out to try and sell them on. But yes, perfect world capped loans. However as someone said do you really trust this lot getting it right? Much easier to scrap it all together and the abuse stops.

Just heard a pop a few mile south. Not sure but think several thousands RTG heads just burst in fury.

Twisting it. But aye, whatever make you tick.

Good post

Personally i don't think you can use well we befitted best this year so keep it as an argument for, not when there's a much bigger picture. Same argument could be levelled that other teams would have went down in our place last time, Sunderland certainly would have gone if it wasn't for key loans. All that stops.

So we'd have signed nobody this January and been relegated Other teams will have benefited from loans this season, not just us. Yup like Sturridge and Krychowiak? Or Kurt Zouma and Jese? Kongolo and Lossl? It would have damaged our season far more than our competitors to exclude loan signings. It would have meant we bought instead. Which is the point I'm trying to make. Players like Kenedy would be available as well as the player wouldn't be happy just sitting in the reserves. Players like Kenedy may not join Chelsea at all and go to a smaller club where he's get first team football first before being in a position to make an impact at a bigger club. It would change the dynamics considerably, i'm all for it. Opens up a real chance for ourselves to buy decent young players instead of them going to Chelsea/Citeh knowing they;ll be off to a feeder club for a few years before getting anywhere near the first team.

Get rid of loans would move Ashley closer to the door. He'd be stuck with mistakes made and unable to cheaply steer out of trouble. I'm all for it.

Kissing the badge?

Slavery/athleticism debate.. Now there's a can of worms.

Gooch is the better of the two, both will be mid table championship players imo. Still better than most of League one. Add Asoro, McNair, love and Watmore if he recovers from injury and they’ve a good young core to build around next year.

Next 2 are must wins. They’ll get nowt out of the final two. Reading need a win so will fight them for it at home, burton I think they will beat.

He's been trying to sell it for a year. Nee cunt wants it. Why would anyone want it in league 1? It's been up for sale for £0. He'll let it go at the zero if in league 1 to a local consortium, but if thry stay up he wants big clauses which changes everything. The Derby result basically set the takeover back a few weeks.

they’re really odd Never before has a football club so closely resembled an unpopular school child. Probably explains a lot. If that weird fat manc goalkeeper Stewart or Lee was a football club.

(apparently) If they stay up short will keep the club, if they go down he will sell.

Stilfer is at least in the top 5 reasons I keep coming back here.

Just seen the tackle on fuck face. Not even that bad, yellow at the most. https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/leeds-sunderland-coleman-berardi-mcmanaman-14504215 Ok maybe not, but it is fully deserved.

He could afford to. He's got the job done already. He can’t really, not if he wants to be anything more than this.

It’s usually at this stage he does something stupid.

If Sociedad is his best offer I think he’d stay and even work with Ashley beyond his current contract. Here’s hoping Stiflers Mam is back in for us and there’s no uncertainty over the summer regarding his future.

So a striker we don’t rate and on loan in the championship is worth half of Sunderland. Please let it be so.

Just checked skybet for the odds on who was on the call. Evens - no one 9/4 - Stiflers mam 2/1 - Stiflers nurse 25/1 - Jill 33/1 - Alan Curbishly 100/1 - Joe Kinnear putting on a high pitch voice 10000/1 - Amanda Fucking Staveley I’ve hoyed my house on Amanda.
