Absolutely fucking not.

You going to drop a fair bit on a jacket that'll have an out of date sponsor on after a year?

If we get Paqueta and Omishen we're winning the Carabao Cup at the very least. Our first team would be fucking insane.

They will want to set it up eventually. I feel that at the moment, with an entire rebuild going on, they could probably do without the hassle of setting up an entire retail business from scratch too. Seems to me they're happy for Castore to handle that til they get the more important arms of the club set up first.

I'd like Nike or New Balance. However I get the impression the club doesn't want to, or doesn't have the structure in place to run our own shop and would prefer either an SD or a Castore to run the retail side at their end. I can't see Nike taking over distro and retail for us, they'll just want to do what they do best and pump out the mass produced merch via other retailers.

That's exactly what happens. All shirts come from the same factories.

Can they even be considered snide anymore since they haven't been in production for almost 30 year? ?

Wtfs the story behind that? Why's it so long? ?

Is that in Newcastle International Airport? ??

Went up to SJP earlier to get some photos with my Aussie son, just to have some photo proof he can't support anyone else when he grows up ? Club shop was very sparse apart from the new kits. Tops only, no shorts or socks, and didn't look like there was any number printing happening. Picked up some of the blue training shorts for £12.

Consistently shite kits for years no matter what the manufacturer. Which it seems they change a lot.

Imagine a 75,000 seater stadium by the river, with a ferry port shipping fans up the Tyne, with collosal sandstone neo-classical features reflecting the heritage of the city architecture, yet also being the most state of the art, futuristic stadia on the planet. Jesus. Wet tip material.

On one hand were saying we have a budget but then publicly bidding $30m+ for players, so yes, we are letting people know how much we're going to spend. I mean, I get why we're doing it but no one's going to believe us ?

How can we simultaneously be working within a tight budget and also willing to spend €30m+ on Ekitike?

Is Eriksen even any good? Either I haven't been looking hard enough or I've barely seen his name mentioned anywhere.

Same tbh. Was more a reference of the level of player rather than specifically Bale/Neymar. Still think Dybala might get linked soon.

I still think, based on absolutely nowt, that we're going to pull off an absolute shock of a transfer completely out of the blue. Lewa/Griezmann/Neymar/Bale levels.

"Ah wuz there Marra, ah saw them sowdeez repaint the concourse with me arn eyes, what a time to be alive."

Wheyyyyyy

Probably end up at Villa.

Seemed like he was until Ashworth came in.

Don't give Balenciaga any ideas

Feel like he really doesn't want to come here.

Hahahahahahahahahaha. Genuinely looks like he sucks off alsatians for wet baccy under Park Lane station.
