Haidara, Gamez and Good's contracts are not being renewed so they're off the books by the end of June. I imagine Haidara and Gamez were on pretty decent wages so that will have freed up some wages to pay new first team players. 18 players from the under 23s aren't getting new contracts: - Aziakonou, Cameron, Ben El-Mhanni, Findlay, Gallacher, Gillesphey, Heaney, Heardman, Hunter, Kitchen, Newberry, Pearson, C.Smith, L.Smith, Spooner, Ward, Williams, Woolston. A massive recruitment drive for the under 23s squad pool is therefore a necessity. Transfer window closes on Thursday 9th of August so that's 8 weeks to go. Martin Dubravka our only 'new' player so far.

An owner who supports a different club but will pay £2Bn for a rival club to watch games at as it's near his home. What a time to be alive.

https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/ex-newcastle-keeper-tim-krul-14758780 The story summed up: - Tim Krul is set to be released by Brighton and Hove Albion. Chris Hughton would like to keep Krul. Krul is keen for first-team football. Krul would move to Barcelona to be second choice should an offer materialise (which it won't).

Amazon's business model seems to be to price all rivals out of business. On www.hotukdeals.com whenever a rival like Tesco Direct (which is closing down), Argos, etc. have a price reduction on a product, Amazon drop their price to match. As soon as the other shop sells out or puts their price back up so does Amazon. What will Amazon do when it's rivals are all gone? They'll have no competition so they can charge what they want. People love Amazon but they're a pack of bastards when it comes to paying tax.

He's one of those players who supposedly has 'big' clubs watching him. Let's see where he ends up this time.

Just noticed that list of players isn't the full list, the full list is here: - https://www.socceraid.org.uk/meet-the-teams

No one's favourite is back. Let the NWOAT comment/s commence (happens every time and then loads of people watch the game and comment in the thread). http://socceraid.unicef.org.uk/ https://www.socceraid.org.uk/meet-the-teams/ I hope Unicef have got a cake for Yaya or there will be hell to pay.

It's the gateway job to managing Sunderland AFC.

Did cake get much of a mention while Touré was at Barça? Did he get a birthday cake every year from the club? I'm trying to trace the reason a guy on hundreds of thousands of pounds a week seems so fixated on cake.

Okay. You'd think putting 'TBC' or 'Fee Unknown' would be a better place holder than 'Free'.

Yardstick not barge pole. I wouldn't touch x with a barge pole.

With mistakes though.

'Frankie Goes to Russia' on BBC 2 now (it will be on iPlayer). Frankie Boyle goes to Russia as it prepares to host the World Cup.

NUFC's option probably expired on May 31st which will have been why the transfer was done before June.

J-League side Sagan Tosu released a statement on their website announcing that Torres has signed a contract with them until 2020. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastles-slim-hopes-signing-fernando-14727351

Time to update the thread title. Some bloke has been appointed manager. Maybe something simple like "Sunderland of League 1".

Yes he had a back injury but it was hard to notice as he just didn't make the bench for a couple of months.

The Fulham owner is looking to buy Wemberly Stadium for £600m. Let's squeeze him for every penny.

Similar quality? I hope we sign someone who makes everyone completely forget about Mitro.

I've never known anyone wink as much as Ronaldo does. He loves a good wink.

Sell before or after the World Cup? He may go up in value based on WC performance but he may also get injured. There's the possibility that the sooner he's sold the sooner Rafa gets money for a replacement.

It's a stereotype. Make fun of the Americans about how they're all obese. Americans have more missing teeth per capital than the British. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2015/12/17/health/british-american-bad-teeth-study/index.html Americans say the British have crooked teeth where as they pretty much all seem to be fit with braces asap. As for famous American actors, singers, celebrities, etc. They all seem to have their teeth replaced with caps for the 'perfect' smile.
