Watching the meltdown on social media just confirms what I thought when 'The Model' was first discussed at the start of the new ownership. Big parts of our fan base will never be patient enough to bear with it!

On my 45th season now and obviously its been gash for the most part. Never in all of that time have we ever had this many players coveted by top sides for so much money. I reckon if you combined all 45 seasons, todays squad would still have more sellable assets!

Please God we finish the job this season so we can hold on to them for a bit longer. If not, its only a matter of time before we do make it back, and not have to do an Ipswich just to survive.

Welcome to the board mate, by the look of that post I reckon we may have been separated at birth <laugh>

A man after my own heart ... Ha'way the Lads!!!

I've just heard a snippet from a very well connected person. I was right about Jobe, I was right about Cattermole. I was right about McCoist (as a contender for manager a few years back). hope this is right too. I don't often post except for match days. But, if this one happens, I'd be happy

Lets have a text then, I'll stay up until it arrives <laugh>
 
I've watched from afar this transfer window, and in my opinion getting Clarke back would be a massive mistake. Yes he was good, but it made us one dimensional, and teams soon sussed out get him out the game and we were average. I like the lad, and wish him all the best, but I don't believe he'll move us forward. I certainly don't want an obligation to buy if promoted. He has proved he is not good enough for the Premier League. First concerns were the Newcastle match last year where they made him look average, then he goes to Ipswich full of confidence, and still can't raise his level required for the Premier League. Now people want us to re sign him, now his confidence is shot.
He wanted out by refusing a new contract, so we had to sell him cheap. Let him go, he's not good enough for what we need in the future

You wanted to see that I was trying to catch out Prehab so let's be clear.

He said Brighton hadn't reached our valuation, for Watson, so I asked him what that was ... he has no idea.

He said Man Utd had out in a massive bid, for Jobe, so I asked him what that was ... he has no idea.

If he's making those claims aren't I entitled to ask a follow up question ...

... and how is that trying to catch him out?

If he says what the figures are that's the end of it ... or he can say he has no idea.

As for chasing someone off the board, how does that work?

He's a fake from RTG, in my opinion, but all I did was ask some harmless questions.

He could put me on ignore or tell me to f*ck off ... but instead he's vanished as they all do.

I think he’s just trying to make the point that the club have a valuation for Watson, as they likely do every player, and that hasn’t been met so until it does he’s going nowhere. I Didn’t read as a dig at the club

I think on Clarke this is a fair assessment but I think we were only one dimensional because of our tactics, rather than Clarke himself. I think under Le Bris it would be very different, and indeed it was at the start of this season

I think the injury to Wes Burns probably rules Clarke out.

I think there was discussions between the clubs tbh but not sure how far they got

I didn't say that was a dig at the club, really don't know where you got that from.

My point is that if he knows Sunderland have a valuation for Watson, and Brighton haven't met it, he must know what it is.

Sorry but I really don't see the harm in asking.

Just like saying Man Utd have put in a massive bid ... aren't I allowed to ask what it is?

These aren't difficult questions.
