Squad numbers 2018/19 confirmed

[Remember Colo]

I'm pretty surprised one of Elliot or Darlow hasn't left. I mean, I'm sure we don't want to keep Woodman around as third choice when he could instead be playing every day elsewhere, but I'd have though Karl or Rob would want a chance to play.

Elliot is 32 - would have gladly let him go and I'm sure the club agrees. The thing is, you'd have thought anyone desperate for a backup ala Manchester United right the way down to the Championship clubs should have looked at him. At the second tier he is good enough to be first choice for most of the clubs, and NUFC would've let him go for a pittance.

I think it's more of a case that he doesn't want to go. He's settled with his lass and young kid, he's got a nice house in collourcoats a few doors down from his lasses mam and he clearly likes living in the area.

He's decent back up to have around and once his contract runs out I'll imagine he'll just retire (or join a local club) if we don't renew it.

In his circumstances it doesn't make much sense moving at this stage in his career.

[bodacious benny]

Agree with that. He seems a good guy to have around the squad too, you need one or two of those.

[Remember Colo]

And those points all make sense, but it does likely ensure he never gets back into the Irish national team. But I haven't been paying enough attention to them to know if there was any chance of that anyway.

[Kiki Lowey]

Any chance for Lazaar? Dummett, Manquillo, Sterry... we need fullbacks.

He struggled to get into that s*** Serie A team last season so I'm not holding out much hope.

That you desrespectfully call "s*** Seria A team" is named Genoa and Cricket Football Club and has been founded
in the 1893 by english people living in Genoa. The first of them was Mr. James Spensley, he whom we consider our
founder...and he was born in Newcastle. Waves from Genoa.

No it isn't. He struggled to get into the benevento team last season that finished rock bottom.

He might join genoa in future

[Colly]

Struggled is putting it mildly.

As COT says below, he wasn't at Genoa last season. I was calling Benevento s***.

[Remember Colo]

And on top of that, no one was criticizing the club itself, but that they performed like s*** last season when they were in last place.

[Colly]

Except in games where I bet against them. Knobheads.

Such a shame that we would spend money as we're only a few decent signings away from having quite a handy team when everyone is available. Oh well.

[Remember Colo]

So light in CM, it's pretty ridiculous.

[Scalabrine]

Lazaar included in updated Squad list

Five months to enjoy Lazaar.



We're gonna win the league.

[overseasTOON]

If only there was some near biblical namesake to pun Lazaar's miraculous reanimation to be named as a squad member

[Valentino's fast feet]

He's been brought back from the pit of the reserve side to walk again in the first team!

James Spensley was from Stoke Newington , London.

f*** that, could we not resurect Jesus Gamez's contract and bring him back? Looked handy at left back last season despite being our oldest outfield player and never playing other than that one game.
