White socks confirmed.

No need for a meltdown. I'm sure he does have sources in the club 75m. Who knows if that is accurate, or just sources trying to manage expectations of selling clubs. Whatever happens I trust the people at the club these days to make the correct calls, both in terms of player recruitment and finances.

Don't know about selling Kane or not, but they will most definitely be changing systems under Postecoglou.

Yeah, it's come out in the past few days that he had a well guarded release clause of 35m.

Aye. Our new primary sponsor isn't going to want to share their announcement with the unveiling of the new kit. There will be loads of blurb that needs to go out with the Sela announcement. Imagine that happens first then the kit is an entirely separate thing. Wouldn't be shocked if Sela is today, then a 'soft' kit unveiling tonight with Fender or one of his band members in it, followed by the official unveiling on Monday.

We need the Sela deal announced before any new kit can be officially revealed. It's either going to be a very busy Friday, or it's all likely to happen next week.

Only way it get's unveiled before the weekend is if the new sponsorship gets announced today/tomorrow.

This is right. There's a reason it's called 'the big 6' rather than top 6. There are 6 sides in the league who's commercial revenue is on a different, and can therefore spend more than the rest. Granted, Spurs out and us in should happen in the next few years, but we're not there yet. We need a few seasons of consistent European qualification, and to continue our commercial overhaul at pace.

Does this mean they want 100m for each of them, which isn't doable. Or hope to raise 100m selling both, meaning Diaby would likely be in the 50-60m range. Which is more doable.

Ange being appointed at Spurs wasn't great for our Maddison hopes. He is exactly the type of player he loves.

Edwards just put up his latest transfer piece. Namechecks Tyler Adams, Walker-Peters, Lavia, Barnes and Maddison. Says we will look for value where we can by dealing with relegated clubs when possible.

Parents going to be raging with that new Spurs kit. Going to need constant washing to not look constantly scruffy.

Aye. This gap between our season ending, and all the European leagues and cup finals getting out the way has really dragged. Hoping things really start to heat up from next week.

2 then, I'm in North Shields (the less stabby part).

Aye, there's plenty of evidence out there of him covering Saudi based events with no issue at all. It's only once the PIF bought Newcastle he turned.

Either you and I live in the same general area, or we have the only 2 decent Evri drivers. Mine is also really good.

May even splurge on the pro shirt this year. Had my regular one on on the way out to Tenerife and saw a lad with this years pro shirt, looked way more comfortable/breathable.

Last bit makes sense. I know we all want Adidas due to their historical ties with the club, however best thing for us financially would for both the big boys (Nike + Adidas) being interested in getting our kit manufacture rights.

Feel like Scott Wilson has confirmed a strong interest from our side.

Yep. It's all well and good talking about trying to emulate Brighton, but you imagine the path to our first team compared to theirs is going to be blocked by higher level players.

Imagine the new deal with Sela gets announced Monday.

For the love of god no one tell Shola or he will be off to Livingston on loan before the day is out.

Need to copy the Brighton model now and send him off somewhere on the continent where he will actually play/be developed. Belgium or Portugal ideally.

Football Italia has never been topped. (Edit to say it's also criminal that James Richardson is clearly the best presenter of football in the country and remains hidden away on podcasts and BT's Italian footy coverage)
