Am I missing something or (according to reports I've seen and comparing it to this) are DW selling the kits for considerably less than SD?

Sounds like a bent little suck-up iyam

Pretty sure it's the result of the lifestyle, there's always gonna be one bitch that snares you in the trap.

What did he say that was misinterpreted? Sieg heil Simple but effective.

no

Means nowt, he'd have signed and then plyed his trade at Vitesse, then the Bundesliga.

By the looks of Youtube appears to be no better than Gayle or Mitro in the finishing department.

Idiot. Wonder how much he's been paid to say that.

Sounds familiar. Hes a proper dipshit like. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/comment/sports-direct-mike-ahsley-profits-slump-debenhams-house-of-fraser-retail-investments-high-street-a8454216.html

And Pardew could probably manage it and we'd still win. (maybe too far)

It has nothing to do with Rafa and to be honest has nothing to do with him keeping us up or doing well, it's about the absolute cunt of an owner we have hamstringing us. I'm not panicking, I'm almost past caring about what happens as it inevitably looks like whether we stay up or not, Rafa is away at the end of the season and the best chance we've ever had since Bobby to "wake the sleeping giant", win a trophy, or do anything which makes us love and feel proud of our club is gone. Yeah, of course we should have done better, no one is denying that. But this doesn't mean that we necessarily have gone backwards. I'm too resigned to Rafa leaving, but this doesn't mean that I don't want things to carry on business as usual as much as possible. Though if we go down this season, and that Rafa was leaving anyway, it wouldn't be the worse news in the world! But why is not going backwards being seen as something we can be remotely happy with? We haven't went forward, Ashley has continued to pocket all the money from broadcasting, merchandise, gates etc. not to mention the advertising of his fucking tat everywhere. If Rafa is leaving regardless, I couldn't give a fuck if we go down - it might actually be the straw that breaks the camels back both for him and the fans.

How? Look at the way all the teams around us and the newly promoted teams are going about their business. We haven't actually improved on a single position from last season, even with these players incoming. Rondon - Mitro : very little comparison between the 2, for the money and potential I'd rather Mitro Muto - Gayle : a 1 in 3 striker in Germany, looks handy but ultimately doesn't score many... very Gayle-esque by the sounds of it. Schar - Mbemba : complete sideways step It's a complete fucking joke. We're pathetic.

Class, another sideways-step signing. Also means Mitro is definitely away then. Show Ash the ££££

A look at what happens when mass protests occur and the fans unite. Although wouldn't surprise me if this was their "McClaren" season.

Under Rafa's management and including what we have spent/recouped and are due to this season (inc. sales of Mbemba & incoming of Schar), we have a -£22.5 net spend.

Mats Selt tbh. Bet you're chuffed he's gone, a living reminder of the greatest moment of your online life torn away from you by twitter pretenders.

Quick, mobile and works his arse off, a Rafa favourite that like. Aye, Gayle does the same for me though. I don't pretend to know loads about him but I don't think there's anything between the 2 of them at all tbh.

Ah FFS, geordiedean agrees with me. I'm with Kaka on this.

Not comparable... Sissoko had 6 months left on his contract, we bought him early and cheap to get him straight away rather than in the summer.

It's not about spending money on this deal, this deal is OK if viewed in isolation - the reality is that it's a typical Newcastle signing and why on earth should anyone be even remotely appeased by this? We're still getting the piss took out of us here.

Can't see a less than 1 in 3 goalscorer in Germany doing any better than Gayle, he did look handy in the WC but don't think he actually scored a single goal either.

You and your lists man. My goodness What am I missing? Isn't that what Rafa has said? Nope. Rafa has said nothing about where anyone is on his list. Yes. But Rafa has said that the more time passes the harder it is to get the players at the top of his list. Not sure what's wrong or funny with him wondering how far down this guy was? We have an established pairing at centre back that is very good. We just signed an international that played in the world cup to come in as the third centre back and challenge the two that start. Why would anyone wonder how far down the list he is? Who exactly where you guys expecting to come in as a third centre back? Looks a really good signing to me. Certainly more than I was expecting for that position. All things considered. Some people are just happy with anything. We should be buying a lad to play alongside the captain and push Lejeune down thats what majes squad's better There's no way Rafa has thought hey the lad I really want is that Schar who is at Deportivo La Coruna. This so smacks of desperation Its like wanting to buy a Ferrari and having to make do with a Vauxhall Corsa Okay. You're certainly entitled to your opinion. We'll see how it all plays out. When we finish above Fulham, Wolves, Brighton et al. I will come for you! When Stoke were splashing the money last summer it sure did look impressive, but it all meant nothing in the end. We will see. You're an absolute divvy. Sell a centre half for £5-6m. Buy another who arguably is little to no improvement and does not significantly improve the first team for £3.5m, thus (Ashley) pocketing a couple of mil change (we'll never see). You wouldn't mind if it was an isolated example, and yes it is an OK business dealing, but we're still in the EXACT same position we were in before Mbemba left. So yes, let's not spend any money - look what Stoke done and it clearly didn't work out for them! Thank the lord Mike Ashley is here to stop us from making their mistakes by keeping the money for himself! 3 cheers for Mike! You absolute divvy.

Schurrle is definitely better than anything we have, including Kenedy.

OK so can we start sending shit on all the SSN posts?
