Surprised there's no avalanche of Friends gifs by now.

The one signing from last summer I was excited about so quite a disappointment it didn't work out. We should be able to recoup our layout, maybe more, on him though.

Am I right in thinking we can only register 25 players (not including any players under 21?) Yes, but U21s don't count towards this total. But the only U21s anywhere near first team reckoning are Woodman and Armstrong (hypothetically in the latter's case). Merino and Aarons? Good shout, Merino is technically "U21" but Aarons isn't. Makes that signing look even better. Players born on or after January 1st 1996 for 2017/18 season. http://www.nufc.com/2017-18html/squad.html I counted 28, excluding the likes of Good who is nowhere near the 1st team. If this means Riviere and Saivet are left in no-man's land, so be it since they are 'invisible' men anyway.

You will find plenty of fakes with club crests and the lot actually.

Saw the thread title and then the poll...

Fabregas was 8 years or something. Nee idea how that works, but have seen most go by 5 or 5.5 years.

Fwiw I hope transfermarket is right, even though they are no longer the website they were.

Riviere's until 2020. Nah, gone next summer. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/emmanuel-riviere/profil/spieler/61637 http://www.nufc.com/2017-18html/squad.html

Riviere's until 2020.

So there is/was interest in Samaris.

So that's Hanley, Riviere and Haidara who had turned down offers from elsewhere...

SFC - Sunderland Football Club.

In other news, Cassano says he has not retired.

Iniesta has to be one.

Seems like there are few players with good reputations. Try doing a team with role model players?

Needs Nigel de Jong in there.

You are allowed to say YouTube ya know?

That play by Dummett and Diame is ridiculous.

Reckon Caballero will definitely be one. They also mentioned Nathan Ake. Good chance Cairney is one of them too.

Excited about this signing.

We would be lucky to even get 5p for him.

Could have been three Spain U21 with Sandro Ramirez.

Goalkeeper. We are not going into the season with Darlow or Elliot, especially with Krul apparently not in the picture.
