Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Not good enough imo

 

It's a bit like Newcastle and the early Premier League era. Leeds made Champions League semi final in 2000 so most of the fan base in their 30's and 40's grew up with that "success".

The Premier League era still seems to be the cut off for relevant history.

Us and Leeds are very closely matched imo. They should be bigger given the size of the city and I think if you asked most neutrals, they'd probably say Leeds are bigger.

 

I guess it depends on what Matrix you want to measure.... If its Trophies over the years, then its Sunderland, If its crowd size, then its Sunderland, If its how long each team has been in the Top league...then its Sunderland,
I'm sure Leeds are bigger than us at Something....its just not football

 

hes taken that directly from these message boards about the spine of the team. Bit of plagiarism by Keefy imo.

 

Even when I posted the scarf pic didn’t believe it would be that quick

 

Wondering what’s going on with Lauriente, been zero updates at all since we were told we were in talks

Be nice if Bulka gets sorted soon, it’s supposed to be quite close so surely we can get a confirmation form Fab since it’s his story soon

 

I reckon Lauriente is imminent.

I wager Diarra has only come out due to the medical being in France, we know Lauriente was in UK last week then straight off to Paris.

What odds 3 signings and 3 kits Tuesday, with the 3rd kit to come when we sign another in couple weeks.

 

He’s on the way way he’s just picking bulka up on the way

 

Way?

 

Quite like Conor. Does some good content. Normally quite positive about us too

 

Way

 

It is a little funny medical was done in Paris, I know our staff will still be on holiday and we’ll have hired people to do it. But Lauriente is also in Paris

 

Likely just easiest place to get a premium medical centre. Lauriente family is Paris based so he’s having a summer with his pals and family I think.

That and they are blatantly signing together like.

 

Wheres this plane at?

 

Landed half an hour ago

 

Pics what pics

 

Those neutrals might do, but it's not based on much, other than them being one club in a bigger city, a city which was also once a Rugby League stronghold, and actually to some extent still is. They lack the wider hinterland that we, as a more "regional" club will always benefit from. They also spent twenty years outside the PL, including three or four seasons in League One. I think they own their stadium again, after having to buy it back, but do not own their training ground after having to sell that off in the past too.

They've done well in the last few years, and are back where they believe they belong. But there are maybe thirty or so clubs who reasonably believe that. Their "big" name is a result of lazy assumptions made by journalists and ill informed pundits, both of whom reach for easy cliches rather than do any thinking. Leeds really, are not all that.

And the dirty bassas broke Bobby Kerr's leg.

 

So we thinking Monday for scarf pics?

 

Wee Phillie soyjacking across the tarmac outside the AOL as we speak.

 

Don't have enough scarves.
