Shelves is better at hold up play anyway.

We have more than enough in midfield to cope with the Championship. The only two I can see leaving in the near future are Sissoko and maybe Tiote. Which will leave us : Colback Anita De Jong Shelvey Aarons Thauvin Ameobi Barlaser Bigirimarna Smith Vukic Ritchie No other championship team can match that, other than Villa. ?Horrendous post! De Jong will be crocked most if not all season. Anita and colback are not up to standard in midfield and most the rest are reserves. Yeah we are short in midfield Its the championship. its extremely foolish naive and frankly disrespectful some of these comments on here about the standard of this league its a difficult league to get out of and should not be under estimated just ask Boro,Bolton,Coventry,Sheff wed,blackburn, all established poem teams in 90s and can't get back well apart from Boro we need creativity and goals from the midfield and we are desperately short on it. Some people on here are in for a shock if they think we are just going to walk this league these teams aren't pub sides they aren't going to roll over and die for us....wake up people That's some bad examples to pick Boro, Bolton and Coventry are all skint (Bolton have debts of £200m) and Blackburn are run by a bunch of mentalist chicken farmers. Sheff Wed are doing alright, like. They're bouncing back after their fall from grace and are under new owners now but the turnover for the whole club is still about half what we just sold one player for.

Not a bad selection of players to choose from to cover a few games a season or as subs. Vuckic only plays pre-season games.

Sisissoko

Rafa might be the perfect manager to get him playing at his best again. If he can instil some positional discipline in him and get him just keeping it simple like he did when he first arrived here he could be a very important player for us again. Think we still need another CM with a bit of creativity and a willingness to break forward like Rob Lee used to though. I don't think Shelvey can do that job, he seems to like to sit too deep and, in all honesty, seems a bit lazy.

I remember reading somewhere that he was pretty struck by the reception the team got on the last day last season and that had influenced him to stay and give it a chance. He seems the type who isn't willing to put up with a lack of ambition or second rate bullshit so you'd hope that getting Rafa in and showing that we want to get back to the PL and actually try and compete would have an effect on him. I like him as a player so I hope he stays and buys into what Rafa is trying to do. Could be an influential voice in the dressing room.

Would have thought Pardew would be after him but they've already signed that French lad. I can see him being moved on like if Sels is going to be our new number 1.

Huh? I got a text saying it. Marvellous. If Che Adams signs within the next week btw, I will claim full credit. If he doesn't, I'm very sorry and I wont post any more rumours again. Deal.

If we're strictly going for descriptive sponsors then how about a nice wine company? http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/image_content_width/hash/a7/f8/a7f8cd5ad8cc3c5f97b352a06f263f01.jpg?itok=7C7XshUx

Must have cost him a fortune staying at that hotel in Durham for the last ten years.

Huawei the lads

@MoussaSissoko Cheers marra, you're next lol — Georgonion Wijnaldum (@GWijnaldum) July 24, 2016 https://twltter.com/GWijnaldum/status/756615794436571136

Stella's Belgian. Same thing. Only after the Germans have been through.

Stella's Belgian.

Are we just massively oversensitive about this stuff?

You never cease to amaze with your keen eye and blazingly accurate assessment of a player. If we kept him then Tiote could have moved up and been our Essien.

£35m Think that's Fat Mike's lucky number

As an appetiser maybe. That fat cunt would eat the table if you put anything less than an enitre barbecued cow in front of him.

Maybe he meant it rivals anywhere in the north east for filth, incest and alcoholism.

I'll be living in Nansha by the time this is on, 2:45am, still gonna try and find a way to see it. Can't wait for the first home game, SJP is going to be rocking.

We're gonna piss this league By April people are gonna be accusing Rafa of reloading.

He just doesn't seem to have the strength of will to get through it. With any addiction the most important thing is that the person must want to get clean and have the discipline and strength to follow it through. I just don't see it in him, think he'll be dead fairly soon.

That fair price is 25 million and is justified if you think of some of the crazy prices and fees being mentioned. If Tottenham, Dortmund, Liverpool or any other club are not willing to pay the going rate then fuck them and if the Wijnaldum and Sissoko are not happy about it then fucking tough. Wow, finally we are starting to hear more sensible voices being heard on here. Bit rich coming from you after your recent spate of gibberish I'd had one too many that night mate, I normally make absolute sense and you know it.
