Kanji

is he an official cab driver or something? Who the fuck is this crazy bloke? Excellent signing, none the less. Also, our club is so fucking small time with this stupid old kit thing. Terrible

I don't think that's a club thing, that's a manager thing. Pardew in this case just completely ignores Colo's flaws, yet highlights those of others which are not as bad. Managers have favourites, managers like Mourinho/Ferguson/Pep do, thing with them though is they win things giving them the right to do it, and the ammo to back it up. Pardew on the other hand has a string of defeats as his ammo, the idiot. It goes way further than Pardew, this insistence on maximising assets and financial resources to the team's detriment. We are only going to make a loss on Mapou which makes this all the more idiotic Yep.

Was going to say that, fucking hell. You take pics with a player, post it. Then ask a question you could try and pry out or at least attempt to with the player standing besides you. When I met Alan Smith in Orlando after we were relegated, I didn't bother fucking taking a picture with the dude, point blank - "You staying at the club this summer or what?" or when I met Graeme Souness after he was sacked, didn't fucking want to get his autograph despite my uncle being a massive fan of his during his playing career, naw man, "Nice to meet you Mr. Souness, I'm a Newcastle supporter, how bad was it to work under Freddy Shepherd?" and random shit like that.

I wonder how Mapou + Douglas would have gotten on. Pace and Strength right there. Willo's shouting and organizing + Mapou's pace was quite excellent. Felt we'd get caught out less with those 2 as Mapou had recovery speed that Colo never had.

Our defence would only be a decent left back away from being fairly solid. As it stands it looks like Janmaat will be our only quality defender. I know and get he may not be a brilliant player or something, but his physicality, height and aerial presence are exactly what we needed and yet the drunk senile cunt canceled that deal. Idiotic.

He seemingly has said nothing but positive things on social media and to the press about wanting to stay here, his hard work, etc. He looked like he was working hard in the gym to get a bit more strength too. I want nothing more then to see him displace Colo and make a case to be a vice captain the following season behind Siem de Jong.

So Nike + Adidas dual branding? No. That doesn't make any sense. Adidas branding with Man Utd? How is that dual branding? Adidas + Chevy?

Assume they mean the Monaco player. And I don't know why but any time there is mention of Big Andy coming home, I'm all for it.

That is sort of my gut feeling here. Although I expected some clubs who have coveted him prior to him joining us valuing him higher as they know what he's capable of from leadership, Ligue 1 experience, and potential. Always assumed Montpellier would hold Cabella over us in attempt to get Mapou back - or - Rene Girard would bring him over to Lille and build the defense around him.

Would take Shawcross or Caulker any day of the week.

What is dual branded merchandising products supposed to mean?

He's the type of player like Hatem who takes teams like City on, not defeated when he walks on the pitch like the usual suspects who look eager to get back on the bus/plane home before kick off.

Short lived

Hope this happens.

In all seriousness - his only brand I'd find acceptable is Everlast.

If we had to go with a different mike Ashley brand as shirt sponsor, I'd prefer "Golddigga" "An attitude-packed brand for young women with style and individuality. Golddigga is a young and increasingly recognised fashion brand focusing on a young feminine demographic."

Are employees getting massive bonus pay outs like store level employees? Or am I reading that wrong?

Top striker? Wat

I keep thinking he's not getting sold. Hopeful.

I still can't believe we actually pay for fees all up front when no other club does that.

Puma even brain washing BVB execs in that shit home kit. I just assumed it was our cunts in charge but clearly Puma suck all the time.

You don't believe that they actually funded that do you? The money came from within the club and FA youth funding, the Wonga stuff was to stop people from kicking off. I try not to speculate on things I don't know for certain. Waste of my brain

What does that mean for the academy funding and all that? Assuming a pull out of sponsorship means some form of liquidated damages due to either side who is left at the alter unless there is a breach of contract of some kind.
