I guess that's why I'll never become that successful. I'd for sure hire a gay to make a nice logo at some point.

Even when he's interested he can't defend, run, or take less than 4 touches before picking a pass.

Might do alright if you've got players who can run in behind defences, and midfielders willing to do all his work for him. Monk changed the whole Swansea system to suit him and it sort of worked for 6 months.

Lot of Newcastle fans seem to like him based on the game at the start of the season, but Jonjo was practically anonymous until Janmaat got sent off.

12m is about 4m too much (but Liverpool are getting 30% ftw) but he's a good signing for Newcastle for sure. Also Caulker is a weird signing at first glance but sort of makes sense who knows

He headbutted Gylfi before a game when he found out he was on the bench (Leicester, I think, same game Ash wanted to fight Mahrez and the bus). Then went home crying and Gylfi played 90 minutes like a pro. Doesn't get on with Cork either, but I don't think that came to blows (Jack's too nice for that).

He's never been the most professional and mostly just does what his dad/agent tells him. When the England callups came old man Shelvey's head got turned, and they've been pushing for a move for months.

His missus is also mad and has had a go at everyone at the club at some point on twitter.

Apparently, a Chinese club are looking to offer Jelavic stupid money after just 4 months at West Ham. Would be nice to free up some wages so we can buy an actual right-back or a not-completely-poo poo backup striker

Norway has produced a surprising amount of decent midfielders over the last couple of years. Martin Odegaard goes without saying even if he isn't quite the Double-Messi everyone hyped him up as and Martin Samuelsen looks real, real good even if he is out on loan at Peterborough.

I'd have rather we gave Illori a chance but every manager seems to think he's poo poo. Toure and Sakho should start against Arsenal and I'm happy enough with that. I don't think Lovren is too far away either.

Shelvey is a weird looking man and a weird player. He's clearly talented and is one of those players that will impact a game hugely- the problem is that can be for the wrong reasons as much as the right ones. Given he's never had any pace you might see him peak a bit later in life when he matures. Regardless he's a fun player to watch provided he's not in your team.

if you're losing most of your matches anyway this isn't really a problem and newcastle have absolutely no creativity through the middle of the pitch
