I seem to remember our home kit being released for sale about a week or 2 before the league kicked off and I did a rush order/delivery.

No b/c the Ben Arfa airport photo was good news and exciting for us, this really isn't.

Can't fathom this Gignac as a winger nonsense, I've never seen him play there and he's big target man type lad as well.

I thought he did, my bad. Clearly that's where he'd go?

I absolutely love Cisse but perhaps a combination of Gomis & Remy would be an upgrade? Remy wide left, Gomis up top and HBA wide right? We add 2 goalscorers to our starting 11 with both probably better at the all-around and link-up play and Remy having the lightning pace and Gomis having the pure strength. They may not be better finishers than Cisse, but combined they provide what we're missing?

Our best bet is this and for the financial markets to go rabid again and someone taking a fancy on us. I'd absolutely love for someone with deep fucking pockets and an appetite for football to take us on and save us from this absolute piss take of an owner.

Yep, good points as well. Lee and Speed man, my goodness what immense players.

Those socks man...its like pixelated stripes too.

Remy + Gomis in? I'd 100% support that.

There will be time his style would suit us a in 4-4-2 or times when his physicality will suit us in a 4-3-3. He's a good striker with experience in Europe. People sometimes drive me mad, like we can be so choosy when clearly we have several boxes to tick before we go after a player. I'm just as happy if we sign Gomis as I would be Bent. It improves our squad no doubt and all things being equal - Cisse resolving his issue with the sponsorship and staying - great for our depth. If he goes, then we need another. The further we are away from throwing Shola on to the pitch, the better, and this is coming from someone who likes (not rates) the man. Meaning no disrespect to the Mackem Blaster.

We're lean as fuck in terms of our coaching/physio staff thanks to the massive staff amassed by Fat Sam and the huge severance payouts Ashley had to fork out to them when he sacked Sam and the lot. It's always been a problem since.

he's damaged goods now

This fucking guy... Lee Ryder ‏@lee_ryder 1m No bid for Hatem Ben Arfa from #lfc yet. #nufc

to all of these posts.

Hah, Tooj. I'll not ever give Leon any crap after that West Ham (h) hat trick and performance and his part in the 4-4 draw. That was fucking memorable to me

Thanks Disco, that was a wonderfully positive and pleasant read.

Strong lad who did all the hard work for his strike partners and pitched in with some excellent goals and some memorable performances. His hat trick on his full league debut, or the turn and strike vs. Fulham at home a few seasons back amongst others. We've not recovered since his departure in terms of striker depth, so that alone is enough to justify positive thoughts about the guy.

Gomis has some international pedigree and is less of true unknown. I think Leon at times was outstanding with some of the things he could do with the ball but his injury problems never allowed us to get the most out of him. Gomis is strong, decent pace, has good hold-up play and I actually quite like his style of being sort of a big bullish CF. He's an absolute upgrade on Leon who I really do rate. I'm really hoping we pull this off as I think it could be a great signing for us.

Similar to what was said above....I'd rather we loaned Dummett right now to a Championship club for first half of the season and keep 'Sadio to continue to allow him integrate into our club, city and team and then loan him to a Championship club when Dummett returns.

I've always liked what I've seen from him tbh. Hope this one comes off.

I'd take Santon and Haidara over him and happy we never signed him tbf.

Sunderland are hell bent on having a completely new starting 11 next season

All seems and sounds like an absolute load of crap to me

You fuck with Boca strips, you get some angry ass Boca fans...not good
