If you pay Tielemans 200k a week you’ll have half a dozen players knocking on the door.

You need to beat top clubs to win the league cup, surely it has more bragging rights.

I mean we have the CL for the best clubs, then we have the Europa league for really good teams that missed out, I just don’t see any need for a 3rd. If it’s good just to have more competitions, why not have a 4th and a 5th? At what point would they become a non-major trophy?

Never forget that we won the intertoto certificate.

European champions.

It’s too low grade to be considered a major European cup in my eyes. Most of the premier league would be in with a shout of winning it.

I’m surprised the conference league has been accepted as a major trophy tbh. Everyone thought it was an embarrassing joke when it was first proposed.

That’s this shite switched off.

His arm goes up because he’s colliding with Bowen.

No chance

Offside but it would be morally correct to give the goal.

They're basically a slightly bigger Millwall.

I'm so starved of football that I'm putting conference league on.

I wouldn’t say us, but he would walk into Man U’s team and probably Arsenal.

They pay huge wages tbf which hard for us to match. But a club like Man Utd should’ve been all over it.

Weird that he couldn’t get a better gig than Liverpool at that price.

I said last summer that no top club will go for him because of his lack of work rate. He’ll have done well to get Villa to sign him. Btw I bet they’ll have a chunky wage bill.

He'll be gone by November.

I would expect Man Utd to be as difficult as possible with us, even if they want rid. If he is actually a main target for us they’ll drag it on through the summer and squeeze as many millions out of us as possible, they’d probably accept 30 from midtable clubs but add 10 for us because we’re a threat. He’ll end up being an expensive option in terms of money and effort. That’s my guess anyway. I just wouldn’t do business with Man Utd.

If Howe decides he wants Messi then who are we to disagree with his wisdom?

Yep, it’s for medical experts to take a look at and make an assessment. If they think he can be kept fit then it’s a no brainer if he’s available, he’s as guaranteed to be successful as you’re going to get.

Yes, I'd have him working as a steward while wearing a Sunderland shirt.

Young Lingaaard has been binned by Notts Forest. It'll be interesting to see if he gets another premier league gig.

The SPL probably isn’t even in the top 15 leagues in Europe, the championship is a stronger and more competitive league. Even Neil Lennon won it 5 times with Celtic and he was a horrible manager. Spurs hiring this guy would be a big gamble, but that’s good news for us.

Good news. Winning the SPL with an old firm team is meaningless.
