It’s clearly in the eye of the beholder this one, not convinced, but not sure I dislike it either. If it didn’t have a trefoil I suspect most would be saying it’s shit though.

Just don’t think it’s a priority, or on their radar have they even acknowledged NUST raising the matter ?

Silverstone’s not interested in this it’s all about increasing revenue and milking the fans. Sooner he fucks off with Eales the better.

They clearly think it’s worth the premium to mitigate any risk, trouble is you could pay 70 million for Semenyo and not convinced he wouldn’t end up looking a big awkward clumsy winger on the bigger stage.

Is the Sheepfolds the greatest entertainment venue the world has ever seen like they claim, boosting the Sunderland economy you’ll be lauded on RTG providing you didn’t lower the tone wearing a barcode top?

Semenyo’s a non starter and would rather we took a chance on the lad from Monaco instead of Kudus.

My favourite system and would perhaps negate the need for a midfielder, still not convinced Howe will abandon 3 in midfield on a regular basis though. Think this system is how we get even more out of Isak and play to his strengths.

I think in their minds they’ve tried to claim ha’way the lads and label us as the plastic Saudi club, whilst they try and claim they are this great club steeped in North East tradition. All a coping mechanism of course to deal with the huge chasm between the clubs. Do think it’s important our support cherishes its tradition though despite our upturn in fortunes, it’s one of the reasons I always bang on in the atmosphere thread about singing the old songs like The Blaydon Races and Howay The Lads.

Starting to take shape Scalvini, Trafford, Pedro and Guler never had any doubts.

Smokescreen my moneys on Bastoni.

Is that what we should be aiming for an upgrade on Willock though ? Seems a very low bar and whilst I acknowledge a midfielder isn’t a priority, with big Joe’s injuries they could be playing 50% of games next season.

May as well just keep Willock he’s injury prone and doesn’t score as well,, save ourselves 30 million in the process.

Bollocks next

The club can’t remember if it was Silverstone himself, basically they had a higher offer but went with adidas due to past history with them.

Deadly serious they were offered more than adidas have no idea if it was Nike though.

Adidas clearly putting there resources into the new Liverpool and Oasis kit launches. Fucking hideous what they’ve produced this season for us. Silverstone out should have gone with Nike for more money.

Would love to see the revenue taken in from these 38k seysun cards sold, the number of cheap kid ones will be off the scale. Not a bad thing of course but there’ll be plenty not getting used when winter bites and Dad is on the night shift at Nissan.

Don’t think there’s any need to panic providing they’ve done their scouting and have a few targets in each position lined up. The age of the squad needs bringing down so hopefully some exciting young players who’ve not yet been leaked in press. No way can we enter next season without at least 4 additions who can challenge for 1st team places and ideally 5 including a midfielder.

Not particularly impressed with Eales, Silverstone or Mitchell to be honest, did PCP leave them in a bad position due to poor management of PSR possibly, but communication and actions have been severely lacking since Amanda left. Think Howe bailed them all out last season and hopefully new appointments are a bit more communicative and dynamic.

For these reasons i agree Dibling at the price quoted isn’t the right purchase for NUFC this summer.

Very similar to us in the same period but yes granted they were in the old 2nd division, though some of our league placings in the same seasons look very mediocre. https://nufc-history.co.uk/nufc-fans-attendances.html

Problem is where shopping with the big boys and getting blown out the water on wages. We need to be shopping in Europe it’s where our best business in terms of 1st team ready players has been done. Honestly think where wasting our time dealing with PL clubs, all of them will push the price up when we come knocking and happy to string us along.

It’s true prior to the 1974 cup final against us we were on the same number of trophies, they played in front of 20k crowds pre Shankly.

You say that as though it’s gospel which it clearly isn’t, maybe Ashley could have saved himself thousands in legal bills and got your advice first.

It’s anti competitive and cartel behaviour hence the case being brought by legal experts.
