Probably won't break that new record but the old one will get broken a few more times. Ndong won't be in the top 5 by the end of the summer.
I have unfortunately gathered a LOT of geordies on Twitter because I said I think guendouzi is a better footballer than joelinton (ignoring system just an individual level) apparently I’m deluded and I’m embarrasing the fan base there’s potentially 100 of them piling on me
Who cares, stand your ground, bang them all out, stand victorious at the end on a pile of fat, broon ale bodies.
Ability wise he is levels above him, absolute levels. ‘system fit’ and ‘club fit’ is what elevates Joelinton specifically for the Toon. 8 or 9/10 clubs or fans would take Guendouzi. Nobody tries to sign Joelinton, only Italian teams after Tonali. Bruno is brilliant but again, nobody has tried for him. People will come for Gordon. Isak and Livaremento, they really think they have this world class side, they do have a very good side but Villa would have scalped them if weren’t in Europe (and robbed blind last game). They are an odd bunch, we all love our own players but they really believe they’ve got some Real/Barca envied combo going on. They haven’t.
Can I just say lads and lasses, for someone out of the area and with no inside information, this thread is absolutely top notch. Had a great read today, has taken ages. I'm actually, amazingly, on my way out into Stockport for drinks with my mates who I havnt seen in a year. Been a cracking day so far.
They’re the thickest fanbase in the country man. Mag I know thinks Gordon is better than Saka, for example.

Deal closed at 2 a.m., medical visit this morning in Paris. Atlético, Milan and Leipzig were there, but only Sunderland (and Leeds) put up the 35.5 million € requested by Strasbourg.
Aye one at work insists that too, and he’s a decent lad. They also think Botman is elite. I dunno what they see.
Guendouzi, Le Fee, Diarra midfield 3 excites me beyond belief Riggy coming off the bench fresh as **** to go at teams too
Spat me coffee out all owa... haven't caught up yet but it must be high pollen today as there's a few tears in my eyes Hhhaaa'wwwwaaaaayyyyyy the lads
