I still expect the random "Despite a similar sounding name, Sandro Tonali is not related to...." type articles from Ryder every time we sign a forrin.

That thread explains exactly why it could be and is very likely to be exactly that - pure coincidence. As if they're doing it deliberately, man, howay

Going to say the same thing. Loved Mo. especially in that Championship season.

Both James Richardson and Emma Hayes are class, some of yous are mental, what the hell do you want in the studio

Phillipsy.... for fuck sake man

Maintain he would have been class in the 90's as a traditional right midfielder. You've got to be joking though, Trent can't defend for shit. His general defensive awareness is awful and seems to be caught out every game. He is unreal on the ball like, up there with anyone in terms of picking a pass or bending in a cross.

Not sure every single Premier League club are sitting back watching Sunderland sign him if he's the next big thing like.

He'd be a very good Championship player if he's anything like he was before his latest injury.

I'm not sure anyone saw it with those two tbh, but it's a good point - maybe it's just a slight positional shift that he needs to become more effective on a regular basis. Hopefully it doesn't take AG near 100 appearances and a Championship loan though!

I should give him a chance solely because of his age? Yeah, I really hope Eddie's right with this one, I just can't see it personally. Regardless of the player and what anyone thinks of him it's great that the club went for it based off the EH's say so.

I actually think the opposite, I think it's short-sighted to look at any of our current first teamers and be sure that they're going to be here for a while.

Agreed on that, I just think we're going to outgrow the likes of him rather quickly. Had we not qualified for the CL I think he'd have had a lot more game time next season. If we qualify for the CL again next season the likes of him will be upgraded I reckon.

100% He's class, just had a shit game up here.

Better if he goes to Manchester City, you mean. I'd love him here tbh, the statement alone would be epic.

Personally think his NUFC career will be pretty short if we're chasing players of Barella's quality. His opportunities to shine will be too infrequent for someone as inconsistent as he is. Don't think he's a bad player, he's just not good enough for us. Wish he'd scored sooner than the Chelsea game.

Amazing

Martins overhead kick in that game? That was a walkover, thought we were going to do okay that year

Barella? Holy shit, canny Shelvey upgrade

You find it hard to sympathise with someone who's queued for hours and paid a fortune for something that's essentially flawed because they've complained about it? Tell me you're a tory without telling me you're a tory.

Yeah, our wage bill will be less than half Man Utd's, surely

Newcastle Untted

The worlds first analmanagerapist?

Fuck sake, not 'Fletch' & 'Macca'

I'd love for us to come out and say it's black, white and blood red

Looks a bit old fashioned tbh.
