We can joke all we want but if Mudryk was to come back he would instantly be our best LW. The ability was always there but his brain was always 2 steps behind, if he's improved that over the past 18 months then he'd be a really good player.

Unless he fully forces a move I don't think we should be trying to sell him. He's a top player who's been held back a lot by the awful decisions made by our board, he was signed to be an important leader in a team going for titles and 3 years later he's being managed by Liam Rosenior.

That reminds me, a huge congratulations on the appointment of our new data analyst, Stevie Wonder.

In terms of footballers I still think Lavia is a better player, but what does it matter if the guy is never fit.

Say what you like about him but he loves a crucial goal

Can we just give him away in a raffle or something?

I'll just reply to you all here as you've said similar stuff. We've absolutely spent money on sh*te, I know it, you know it and by now I think the board know it. That being said, we can't counteract spunking hundreds of millions on young players who mostly won't ever be good enough by spending a very large sum of money on a 34 year old. Sunderland have no reason to sell and they don't want to sell at any near reasonable price because he's one of their best players. Unless Xhaka kicks off and demands a move, which it doesn't look like he is, it's a dead end and for once I can't blame the board for it. But what I will look out for is who we go for next.

I've been as critical as anyone about the owners, but what are they supposed to do when Sunderland won't sell him? We can't expect them to spend £30m+ on a 34 year old, it just isn't feasible.

I'm happy for him to stay, I think he'll do well under Alonso, but Pastore can f**k off. If I were Enzo I'd bin that twat off, he's been pushing to move Enzo along so he can get a fat agent fee and instead he's made him look like a mug.

On the plus side at least you've still got your scapegoat for every game we lose 😉

Seeing Havertz miss a penalty made the late night worth it. That Germany goal should have stood in my opinion, but having said that, justice for Lampard!

You'd be surprised, the revisionist history around Maresca when Rosenior was manager was crazy.

I'm so glad this has all come out officially, the Maresca fan boys can stop believing he was some sort of martyr that left millions on the table because he didn't like the owners. In reality, he was plotting to slither his way over to Man City. Good riddance, I look forward to Man City's collapse when his dire football has them moving down the table and the fans turn on him within a couple of years.
