The Adopted Mackem thing is something you don’t hear. We, as a fanbase, don’t throw it around like them up the road with the Geordie equivalent (lost count of the number of “adopted geordies” both them and The press keep going on about) Isak certainly was spoken about like that!

We just keep supporting our club and occasionally a “Luke” comes along. Said it before and will say it again, my absolute favourite player in my lifetime.
Aye we’ve had him and maybe Bally in my 43 years.

Means something when we say it.

Can we add Julio to the group? Great character from the other side of the world, who embraced northeast life.

I remember a club video where he was getting filmed doing keepy-upys. The guy off camera is about to throw the ball to Julio, and says "Ready?" Julio grins and says "Aye" in the broadest Wearside accent you can get. Great stuff.

100% we can. How did I forget Julio.

Honorable mention for Sir Niall? Ha
Jesus.

Shall we do an actual list, as opposed to my throwaway comment.

Quinny
Bally
Julioooo
LON

Who we missing?

Phillips can’t have it for me for the head drop after Niall went, Cattermole close. Schwarz and Cana weren’t here long enough (but continue to shout out the club), Tommy close. Reidy was just too died in wool Scouse. Marco maybe?

Don’t think any of them would make the cut.

Does Benno go in though? I think I’d put Benno in there.

Good post yes Benno for me. Always gave 100%

Particularly apt given his work with racism in these days when racism is becoming acceptable again.

Lived julio but did ask to leave instead of staying and helping his mate Quinny

I did think of Nyron but I think we a bit swayed there by that fantastic video the other day.

Loved watching it, and he had 2 baller chants but I think he’s ’cult hero’ with the list above and a few more rather than ‘adopted Mackem’. Not just me here though so any more support for the big man?

Harsh on Julio to say asked to leave he did stay the first time. He should have went sooner if anything. Married a Mackem didn’t he and settled here?

Deffo for Benno. I wouldn't put Marco in even though I was gutted when he left.

To be truthful, there's not that many I can think of off the top of my head. Maybe Xhaka, Enzo, Hume and Ballard as well as LON from the current squad

Think they would all have potential in the future. Hume I could get on board with and maybe Xhaka solely for ‘Ha’way the Lads’ on the pre match screen which blows me up every time <laugh>
 
@RokerReport
▶️ #SAFC’s January €25m-plus-Mayenda offer was rebuffed by Osasuna

▶️ Also wanted by the Mags…

▶️ Report claims another offer incoming
This kid is quality by the way. Rapid, end product. Really good player.

I’d like to see it. Threat was Madrid on the buy back but apparently they are passing as it’s roughly same as the sale price.

I only thought of Xhaka on the back of the pictures shown before he gave his speech after the last game. The way he was looking around and drinking it all in and those words that were attributed to him there other day about him being happy here. But personally I really think we've got under his skin like we did with Quinny. And I definitely agree with you about the pre match screen!!

Aye I think Granit could go in you know.

Only 1 season but the impact that season could have on the entire future of our club is wild.

That season doesn’t happen without Granit.
