lol when you don't know if you're on the Everton forum or the Sunderland forum.

When you’re an inbred Geordie horse puncher and everyone laughs at you

Must admit, Robin Gosens would be a great signing for these lot.

Wouldn’t have had enough games or something

27 games (and tens of millions' worth of January investment) is more than enough for any competent PL manager to make a pretty good fist of keeping a team up. Ten games with no funding wasn't, as demonstrated by going the final six games unbeaten. Just not enough time to keep a sinking skip afloat. Only someone with an agenda or a lack of understanding of football would think otherwise.

Benitez is thankfully back on the market. Would you like him back?

It's an interesting thought. Howe isn't ticking the most important boxes atm but I do like him and I'd like to see how he does after some much needed investment in the side. If we get relegated it's a failure - an all but unmitigated one - and in that scenario I'd take Rafael back for the promotion push, definitely.

Happy for yous and happy for Rafael that it's ended. It was a dreadful appointment in the end.

Dreadful appointment all round, should never ever have been considered in the first place, Thanks to TubbyBen we are in a relegation scrap and could easily go down.

Looks like they are going to sign LB Marc Kurzawa from PSG on loan.

Only played 9 minutes this season.

Haven't they signed a LB recently? Like, our LB?

My bad - I had both threads open.

Anyway, at least they didn't go for your left back.

Wonder if anyone checked up on Saint-Maximin after his rather cocksure response on twitter

They've bid £41 million for Eden Hazard, he wants to go to a bigger club though.

I'm sure Saudi FC will tempt him by offering him massive wages and the delights of Geordie homely Cuisine.
