The kid gans “Germany have won the joint second most world cups behind Brazil”
You’re from America. Support America. Picking teams honestly man the game has gone off a cliff.
“How did you become a fan of Germany?” @itvfootball@AdamRichman
Well he should be fucking born there for a kick off, but it’s just another American picking a more successful team.
Football is on its fucking arse honestly.
Seems clear that Tonali will leave now. We have to be proactive and ambitious with the huge amount of funds we have our disposal now. The usual dross will not do, as we’ve stripped this squad of most of its quality.
@MrMac1985@BRCTrades99@Jason0104898001@David_Ornstein@TheAthleticFC Natural food chain? Listen yourself man hahahaha
Pumped you 6-1 not so long ago. Finished above you 3 times in the 4 full seasons since the takeover.
Fucking food chain man. You’ve been reading too many tweets from the Africans and Americans.
@SpursArmyTweets@EggusMaximus@David_Ornstein Honestly right £100m for a player who doesn’t really score or create, or tackle or intercept much, is mental money. He’s basically a less aggressive Joelinton, runs around all game chasing the ball and he’s great at that. He’s overhyped for what he is, as much as I love him.
@KieronBrown1996 But Sunderland do have a limit. Every club outside of Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd have a limit in England. Spurs on their own island. Then every other cunt. Good mentality but means fuck all in practical terms. Enjoy Europa as it doesn’t get much better.
@garty_1989@footieowl@IvarSvare@ToonTakeover_ Fully agree there pal. Salary cap / spending caps likely in future but then how do we compete with attraction of Manchester, London…up here we’re fucked really.
@garty_1989@footieowl@IvarSvare@ToonTakeover_ All in the past obviously but even now mate, where you finished last year it won’t get better. Players will want London and whatever to sit 4th choice at Chelsea and you cannot just throw money at them via owners. It’s a stacked deck with little hope.
@garty_1989@footieowl@IvarSvare@ToonTakeover_ Except from 1994 until about 2006 we were in Europe most seasons. 3 or 4 title races in there too. So we did keep up to a point. It just shows by spending you can compete. That won’t happen now because you can’t spend.
One day Lee you’ll learn. In your dopey, bald, mackem mind.
@garty_1989@footieowl@IvarSvare@ToonTakeover_ I’m glad you’ve shown you can’t read Lee pal. I said they spent I never said top spenders - but Man Utd signing Roy Keane was a British record, Andy Cole too. Dwight Yorke too. Blackburn spent big too and competed and won a title. We spent and competed.
@garty_1989@IvarSvare@ToonTakeover_ How can you build a global fanbase then from Sunderland’s point of view? Build one that will let you catch and compete with big clubs.
You can’t. Because you cannot spend at their pace. You cannot get close. It’s all new to you Lee like I said, but you’ll see it’s all very dull.
@garty_1989@footieowl@IvarSvare@ToonTakeover_ Two? What about Liverpool in the 70s? Man Utd in the 90s? It’s always been spend to win. Now it’s a closed shop because they want their brand names winning it, with their global fan bases. Money money money just don’t spend any of your owners.
@garty_1989@IvarSvare@ToonTakeover_ You can’t buy the league but you also have no chance whatsoever to do it any other way. That’s hamstrung.
You had a good window last year. Make a couple mistakes this time around you’re fucked. That’s being hamstrung.
@garty_1989@footieowl@IvarSvare@ToonTakeover_ But the horse has bolted. Other clubs did that. It’s not a level playing field so clubs like ours simply cannot compete long term. It’s designed to hold us back.
It’s all new to you Lee but last season believe me it’s as good as you’ll get. There’s no kicking on anymore.
@garty_1989@IvarSvare@ToonTakeover_ Sunderland aren’t hamstrung are they not nar, so you can win the league can you? You can just get yourselves up there regularly fighting for the league?
Can you?
@footieowl@garty_1989@IvarSvare@ToonTakeover_ Sponsors get checked for “fair market value” so they can’t do that. I agree they could do more but I think half of it is because when we sold Saint Maximin for £23m, the PL clubs had an emergency meeting. All about the big boys protecting their money.
@Markyb610@SkySportsNews Aye I mean we got desperate last year paying £55m for Wissa when all the talk was £25-35m. Obviously Elanga didn’t work out either at £50m but it’s water off a ducks arse to Chelsea, but not us. We’re hampered for years really with those.
