The destination of our January business will be swayed massively by the points tally come late December. No way is Dembele joining - even on loan - to be in the relegation zone. I can think of a reason why he'd join (the answer is money). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"But according to El Nacional, that stance has changed. The Brazil international is said to be increasingly frustrated having started on the bench in each of Barcelona’s three games since their new manager’s arrival." So depends if El Nacional is the Spanish metro? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Well at least there's no chance of Agbonlahor moving here, maybe we should agree with him that Newcastle is a horrible place to live. Yeah it's awful, just stay in Brum mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Even as a non-local I love the pride in the City that's being declared and all.

Rafalove Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 From the article: “And not just in the sprawling shopping malls like the Metro Centre in Newcastle or The Bridges in Sunderland”. It’s a massive stretch to refer to the bridges as sprawling and the metro is shite these days. As insulting as it is to say, I think there’s some truth in what Agbonlahor is saying. Players do want to be in London. London clubs use it as an attraction and often try to paint the north as a post industrial hell hole that rains all the time. Think one of the Manchester clubs got wind of the fact one of the London clubs were claiming that it rains all the time in Manchester in their presentation to a player, and had to tell the player that actually it rains more in London. With that being said there’s a lot of buzz around us at the moment. We’re the richest club in the world, we’re ambitious and can offer players a lot of money to compensate for that.

Personally I try to avoid the Metrocentre if possible, although if you just want to go for shopping I suppose it's more convenient for parking and everything under one roof. Much nicer to shop in Newcastle city centre IMO. As for players, how many shops do you actually need? London high streets are pretty similar to anywhere else, only difference is you get the same ones in different parts of London. So if you want a Starbucks you could get one in Oxford Street, or you could hop on the Tube and get one in Regent Street instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 There are far more shops in London. Particularly high end shops. I’ve been to London once, was great just browsing around all the designer shops even with the knowledge I couldn’t afford any it. I remember going in to the official Burberry shop, before I entered there was a tall handsome bloke in a tux whose job it was to stand outside the door and open it for customers. Once I started looking at the clothes I noticed none of them had price tags, I guess if you have to ask, you can’t afford it anyway. All the other shops were the same, Gucci, Armani etc. You don’t see that in Newcastle, not to mention London’s incredible architecture, and don’t even mention the cafe’s, boutiques and restaurants. The weather is warmer in London too. Even if only just a few degrees. You can network there with other famous or influential individuals. London also has a number of airports which is beneficial for foreign players looking to get flights to countries that are more obscure. there are downsides to London aswell mind. Crime being one, and prices being another, and traffic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crime being one, and prices being another, and traffic. It's also full of rude, entitled twats! I was on the tube a while back and a little scrote had his phone music on speaker and was rapping out loud (badly). I must've had a 'you're a total cunt' look on my face because he looked me dead in the eye and rapped 'I'll shoot you in the lung, i'll shoot your Mum'. Just one example but i'm sure there are plenty more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRaspberryJam Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 We've signed players like Wijnaldum and Sissoko who have won major honours and/or played in major finals. This notion that we can't sign good footballers is ridiculous. If we avoid relegation we'll sign good footballers no problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Genuinely couldn't name a single landmark or positive feature of Birmingham. The likes of Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield, Liverpool & London are brilliant for the odd break, whereas the Midlands is a complete non-entity. Seemingly an utterly disastrous education system too if Agbonlahor is representative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
