What the fuck? This transfer is weird. Sorry, I got the wrong Sunderland player 😂

Fantastic signing. A great start to the day..

Old photo by all accounts.

As much as nobody likes Liverpool, it’s funny seeing Newcastle fuck this up.

We overspent in January without doubt, on mostly utter shit. We’ve more then clawed that back though. I think SR are actually in profit on fees in/out over their time here now. Fraser could turn out to be a really good signing and he was a loan, so no problem with that. But if Adams goes, we need to spend on a striker as I think our promotion hopes will depend on that. Just IMO of course.

In hindsight he probably should have started instead of the young nipper. Will become a regular starter IMO and I’ve no problem with that.

Yes. We can’t be expected to compete at this level when you take those into consideration.

The majority are with you I expect, but it’ll be here to stay.

Yeah but we’ll only get the £140M over the course of instalments. We’re the only club who receive fees in instalments but buy players outright don’t you know…

Fraser is a bit of quality at this level, that’s been clear. Downes looks excellent.

Worst game Alcaraz has had for us

This is horrendous. Anyone thinking we’re troubling promotion with this squad is blind.

Welcome to the Championship for the young kid. Lost the ball every time he’s had it. QPR look more threatening which is unsurprising after selling our entire strike force.

Armstrong as a lone striker then. Massive yay

No Adams in the squad 😂 This club FFS.

We won’t sign a striker if we sell Adams but not Mara? That is simply staggering yet totally unsurprising.

I’d say finishing 12th is much more likely then those other two currently.

Crikey

He was absolutely managing expectations. Che is going and don’t expect much coming.

I think we can all agree that the potential outgoings are the major concern. Sell Adams without an adequate replacement and it’ll be as bad as appointing Nathan Jones.

Not sure I’m buying this. Him and Howe clearly don’t like one another, and it was personal.

Appears we’re going for the Dennis Wise approach from that ultra successful 05/06 season.

8 goals and 7 assists in 76 games in the Championship. 18 goals and 35 assists in 173 games in the PL. He could be a threat at this level if he fancies it I guess.

Signing Fraser pretty much confirms that one of Tella/Sulamana will be off then. Absolutely no need to ‘strengthen’ that area otherwise. And I use the word strengthen loosely.

Salisu wasn’t shit, neither was DCC particularly and that’s a loan anyway. Diallo and Orsic are about it so far.
