Ayatollah Hermione 13866 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 He’s posted some mad old shit on Twitter for being a lawyer talking about us signing Mata, Robben and James Rodriguez. Therefore, with him being confirmed as a lawyer, they’re coming in. Off to get Robben on the back of my manky new home kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 20139 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Still don't believe any of it. But the whole lack of confirmation etc from the club gives me a small flicker of hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4748 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 There are some massive flops/old injured guys/people who didn't cut it at the very top/not wanted at their current club players moving around this summer. Mata, Robben, James, Coutinho, Sane, probably Ozil. I am looking forward to us being linked with all of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7027 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I'm not sure I would want Robben or Mata. In their prime I would have taken them obviously. But our squad is built on hungry players giving 100% and fighting for each other. Chucking a superstar looking for one last big payday into the mix is only going to cause issues. We don't want to go back to the days of buying castoffs from big clubs (Owen, Parker, Duff, Geremi, Butt etc.) Most of them got us relegated and fucked off when we went into the Championship 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4748 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Robben I could do without, hes really injury prone for one thing. Mata is brilliant though, I'd love to have him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, if this was all to go through and these blokes did invest a good amount of money I’d love to see Mata come in. He’s only 31 and he comes across as a good pro tbf. I think if this lot were to try and het us challenging for the top 6 as a short-ish term aim you’d want a Mata type in, along with some upper mid table level players to boost the level of the squad for the first season. I agree on Robben though, he only started about 7 Bundesliga games this year and really is at the tail end of his career. Anyway, I’m going to try and stop getting myself excited we still have a 25 Clem roadblock in the form of Mike Ashley between the above and more of the same penny pinching/bleeding of the club.

Confidentiality? Hasn't really stopped the Sheikh has it? But yeah I have no idea which is why I said apparently. He could be a pure chancer looking to increase his social media profile for all I know, but this guy who's a British football journo in the middle east that did a chronicle podcast has vouched for him.

He's a big name but I wouldn't trust him to deliver much of anything for the money he'd cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all in on enjoying this for what it is, a possibility. Fuck knows if this goes through, if it does he might be no better than ashley, but for now I can amuse myself talking about the possibility of signing Juan Mata or whether I'd take Arjen Robben at the club, its better than nothing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13866 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Hello everyone, the flood lights are on at St James. The sensible opinion is that they're removing advertising before the rugby starts but the outlandish opinion, and therefore the correct one, is that the new lads are tearing the Sports Direct signs down with their bare hands before we see them holding the shirts tomorrow. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13866 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 That’ll be the source who they didn’t have 2 days ago. He’s done well there to reach into the depths of a billionaire organisation and get a source considering he’s a journalist covering the North East of England.
