Wish this wasn't the early game...already lost interest

This thread title is the kiss of death!

Cabella + de Jong and I'll be fucking ecstatic

Seriously man, keeping reading on here how they're surviving. They're f***ing woeful, and I think are thought of as better by some of you guys as Newcastle fans think by default Sunderland won't make their dreams come true and get relegated. Yeah they'll pick up the odd win but they're in massive trouble. Hope that odd win isn't versus us on Feb 1

I'm an idiot, I read those quotes thinking - wow Hector represents Loic and Remy? Class, both are signing up officially this winter?

He was capped in the last game wasnt he? Speaking more on just for the summer too. For that tourney happening in Brazil.

Unfancied name and I think people were confused by his transfer fee (£8m ish?). But the fact is his development is there for all to see. My main issue with England's pasts teams are always the selection via name and reputation versus players actually in form. Look Jay may not be a world class player capable of doing this on the world stage, but he's scored 9 goals in the league in that withdrawn striker position. Pretty awesome.

Look at those empty seats

Jay Rodriguez have any chances of making the England setup? I really like this fella

Sunderland

100%

3 flat CMs behind the front 3 should be more than enough cover for Ben Arfa (on his respective side). If that means Anita b/c of his intelligence and discipline over Sissoko, so be it. Cabaye should always be the main-stay of the 3 with a combination of Tiote, Anita, Sissoko if we never use Marveaux in that #10 role

Milan home top looks terrible - ruining the classic stripes. Our away kit(s) are going to have that fucking star on it - at least our home kit will probably be based off the home kit design of Italy and Kawaski with the lush collar.

Aye. Umbro never made a bad England keeper kit. Was referring to recent ones man,

Could you imagine?

To do what? Nobody moves or makes runs. To find the 1 or 2 runs that actually happen in a match? I'm of the thought process that he or HBA need be in the team; if that means more graft from Cabaye/Tiote/Anita/Sissoko - so be it.

The Italian Keeper kit has a nice spot for the number to be placed. Tragic that ours will have an off-centered wonga logo on top of it. Keeper kits are generally always shocking, right? I guess the England Umbro keeper kits were always clean and class.

It strengthens us if De Jong can regain his Dutch league form though...

Marv made the bench on Sunday when we played City.

Player amortization is f***ing idiotic imo. "Market value" should dictate that for players - just like in real estate the usage of cap-rates or multiples assist in valuing properties.

This is why I think we will sign some players this window.....the fact that we will need to replace a lot during the summer, so it makes sense to do some now and then some in the summer. This give better continuity and less disruption than trying to bed in 6 new players in the summer. Our board does not do a single thing that make sense fellas. They simply don't. They only sanction deals that makes sense. *Makes sense = on the rock bottom cheap for out of contract players or soon-to-be out of contract players. Reactionary transfers are the norm for the board -- sell, then buy (or loan).

UV may be backing up what I said yesterday then. I still maintain that Mike Ashley would have access to fantastic debt terms and could have easily leveraged the club with a favorable loan or credit facility and his maximum exposure would have been minimized greatly.

Rumor posted. Rumor denied. Matter of minutes too.
