Reckon we have enough Ayoze candy to level him up to a decent level, especially with Rafa's XP. Mitrovic has a type advantage over most Championship defenders and Gayle's CP is unparalleled in the division.

That'd be an immediate improvement. Could go either way.

True.

Love the distinct lack of articles by respected journalists addressing Allardyce being named manager. No one wants to be address the elephant hippo in the room here, I guess.

The FA are determined to stay firmly planted in the '80s.

From 5 million years ago. Tbf he looks in decent shape, he's just got a bit of a wide face and questionable facial hair.

It's bonkers how out of touch they are - I don't know how it's possible to be so profoundly misguided.

League renewed.

Why keep a perfectly good, retro looking design when you can spunk lots of money modernising it for the worse?

Nintendo as new shirt sponsors.

I think Fulham will be good this season. Difficult one to bet on early doors. How come?

Has any of the mainstream press or major pundits written articles explicitly saying what utterly shite choices either candidate would be?

Is this a Giggs? I've decided I don't care: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-carver-5495512a :lol:

He wants PL money.

Even in this era of insane prices, everything about this transfer flabberghasts me Reckon this'll end up being better business than the Andy Carroll sale, which is tough to top given how he turned out for them. Zilch workrate and doesn't turn up whatsoever away from home - no idea how he fits into Klopp's plans. Maybe he'll transform at Liverpool though. He's certainly got the ability tbf, just never the necessary attitude while at NUFC.

That'd be mindblowing/incredible.

They love it mate.

Cajun was proud as punch when he emphatically silenced his naysayers post-Ramadan. Fantastic player. Hope he gets better soon.

Wilmots sacked. About 4 years too late.

In Italia we like to stay compact but flexible, defend as one and-..." "IS THAT A NO?!! ARE YOU TRYING TO CHALLENGE MY METHODS?!" "Uh, no Mr Allardyce, I was simply describing how I have been used to passing ze ball into feet..." "RIGHT. FUCK OFF".

Agreed. Also, I harp on about it, but it's important in the (hopefully one) Championship season to build a defence that knows each other, works as a single unit and stays together in the Premiership.

I'll go: 1-2 Gayle FGS Round Stifler's flat

Standard financing transaction with first option if it turns out they want him later on.

A real paucity of decent managers about who would be willing to live in Sunderland. Basically, British managers whose stock is deservedly very low and need desperate rescuing. Great time for him to go.
