Meh. He’s not a #10.

It’ll be like under McClaren, more or less.

It's the rules when generalising about London/Southerners Just makes us look so small time and like we never leave our villages For an ignorant outsider it's easy to dismiss it with a "those Geordies only accept locals" or the like. Where Ashley is from is completely irrelevant.

Yep

Nsoki is a full-back though. Left or right? Mainly left I think.

Nsoki is a full-back though.

Where do you draw the line though? Watch games at the pub, is that ok?

What about travelling down on coaches put on by the club. You don’t need to do that to attend an away game though.

Nah, not sure. Isn’t boycott = not giving Ashley any money? Otherwise, you could argue that you shouldn’t engage in the team/club at any level, like being active on this forum for instance.

They approached Fat Sam, so he’s one of them.

I want to fight him. But how? I’m not giving him a quid, but then what?

He wants a yes man, someone who is willing to work under shit conditions, someone who’s grateful for just being in the position. SB being a Geordie is a bonus as a substantial part of our fan base will accept/give him more time because he’s a local, despite being nowhere near qualified. Steve Bruce is the ideal Mike Ashley appointment.

Didn't you read it, he absolutely cares and Ashley's hoping he's the one :lol: Seriously, how can shit like this be printed. Lies and propaganda, without being questioned at all.

Peasant!

Good vision. Seems mature.

Kid from Chelsea.

Looks like an ever-so-slightly better version of Atsu to me. Every clip it looks like he's not sure what foot to use next and never seems to quite have the ball under control. Doesn't quite know what he's going to do next. Much better dribbler than Atsu though

Just use Rafa’s system, swap Perez for S-M and Rondon for Joelinton?

Judging from one YouTube video; Yep, pretty much.

I’ve done some Dennis Wise scouting. Saint-Maximin seems to be a more athletic Ben Arfa without the end product. Pretty exciting to watch. Him and Almiron alongside Joelinton would be fun to watch, potentially.

Instead it will be Joelinton + a few loans/free transfers. Not so fine idea.

”plotting”

This. Now I’m just confused.

Good manager = no need to spend money on signings. Poor manager = spend money on signings. See McClaren, Steve. Makes absolutely no sense. He could have kept Rafa for literally the same price as Bruce and spent the same but had a far better manager. In Ashley’s head it makes sense as he wants a yes man who won’t challenge him or make fans believe we can do better.
