How are they getting in behind us - embarrassingly easy.

For me, it's the number of players only wanting to 'not give away possession' when playing under Southgate that drives me mad.

Agree - the daft thing is that his representatives had it written into his contract that he had to play, by all accounts.

I don't say that he should be the finished article now, but £20m ?? Compare him to Robbie Keane at a similar age.

Pot .....kettle..... black.

Not sure that including Grealish is right (not disagreeing about Maddison's exclusion) Grealish is the antithesis of a Southgate in terms of professionalism. Will probably play very little, yet will invariably appear completely rat arsed if we do well/get knocked out.

Agreed; brilliant move by the Bellinghams - I must admit to having followed Jobe's fortunes at Sunderland more closely due to my frequenting their forum. They have been annoyed (putting it mildly) that he has been given game time when he has been so obviously underperforming. As I've probably...

Agree, but those that have already made it to the level he already has have shown similar application. Can't deny that his family seem to have given them a terrific grounding.

You may well be right, but I don't think he is going to be anywhere near his brother (high benchmark, I know) and I honestly believe he wouldn't be even looked at as a PL player at the moment if it were not for his surname. Talk of Sunderland wanting £20m plus is ridiculous imo. Have a look at...

Yes - just looked, and back above the 1300 mark, so happy (away) days!

Leeds = obvious why Hull - mad Egyptian owner with £££s West Brom - new owners with ££££s Swansea - ??? Cardiff - aren't they still under some sort of transfer spending sanction.

Although, as somebody on the Sunderland forum pointed out, he said he'd had a heart attack chasing a ne'er do well, but was shown on the programme ordering himself a sausage, bacon & egg batch (or similar) ! Made me laugh.

Get your sister to withdraw all services until he toes the line 😉 Edit: I've just realised it might be your wife's brother🤪

Not having that - and about a year of that he's been out with a serious injury. Your insinuation is either that he's either 'not tried' or deteriorated from 2 years ago. From this side of his injury. there was bound to be a getting up to speed period and a degree of inconsistency early on...

Nearly started a thread called ' The Emperors clothes' but I find it laughable that that agent Romano (?) is touting PL clubs as being in a race for Jobe Bellingham. Regular 5/10 performances for Sunderland, and fans firmly convinced he was being picked due to a clause in his contract meaning he...

Give me a (rough) number that you know who are not renewing, out of interest.

he used to be crap, but he's alright now he used to be crap, but he's alright now he used to be crap, but he's alright now

Best delivery (set pieces, particularly) in the division imo. That said, I don't know much about the rest of his overall play. A very useful attacking weapon though.
