German scout for Arsenal currently I believe

Need Konte from RBL, Valerys mate so needs to have a word

Seems getting stripes right is harder than expected: Sunderland https://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport/football/sunderland-afc/sunderland-afc-news/revealed-sunderland-afc-unveil-bold-new-home-strip-to-mixed-response-from-supporters-1-9781570

Someone has done a mock up both ways, doesn’t look nice either way!

New club sponsor on 3yr deal

Expecting to see a few changes in off field personal over the summer prior to pre season training commencing

I saw Valery was retweeting messages praising Konate from RBL yesterday. He fits the model Ralph said we would be looking for.

Any idea how many we have dropped in final 15 mins of games?

Shows why there needs to be a refresh on the summer. Too many higher earners that aren’t good enough for starter 11. Gallagher £40k pw, for that I’d sell him and invest that into someone else for example

Austin has turned down a move to a championship side according to Talksport. Wants to stay and fight for his place rather than move to championship

Maybe a loan or two in tomorrow so the real rebuild can happen in the summer.

Got away with that tonight. Draw a fair result, didn’t create enough in the final third. Ball going out to the full backs plenty but nobody getting close to provide support. When JWP switched to the right he was in soooo much space but continued to go down the left despite him screaming for it. Still plenty of work to do in getting the balance right in the side

Judge when the window shuts IMO. If we get one or two in on loan (or transfer) then we might be saying we finished the window up

Otherwise we end up with the likes of Forster not in the squad but earning crazy money!

Think I’d wait until the summer to ensure his up turn in form is sumbstained and not just a few good games. We are quick to moan about players on long term deals so think they need to be earned based on a longer period of time than just half a dozen games

Who is the guy who asked the questions in the press conference?

The fact Craig step down from his role would suggest it was more than that IMO

Was that when he was at Leipzig though?

Now with a good gap before next PL game it gives Ralph chance to work on his style of play properly with the squad. Not bothered about the cup, we need time on training pitch more than distraction of cup

We need players to improve the starting 11 to help us avoid relegation so no point signing bench players.

What things?

Seems fair enough. Should be too busy training anyway to need to use your phone.

What did he say?

Until the end of the season, could it be that someone Ralph wants will join in the summer?

He was on the bench at weekend. I posted a photo showing it. Thought it was odd that he hadn’t been announced.
