Looks like Sunderlands number 1 is now going to be Lee Burge as McLaughlin has refused a new contract and signed for Rangers. The season just gets better

Not as much as you gorgeousDo you like Sunderland mate?
Why do you care so much? They are in a lower league to usLooks like Sunderlands number 1 is now going to be Lee Burge as McLaughlin has refused a new contract and signed for Rangers. The season just gets better

Decent shot shot stopper (along with almost every keeper in professional football) but prone to conceding a goal every three or so games with a howler. And that is literally throwing it in his own net or passing it straight to their player.
Also powderpuff at crosses and corners. For me he is stealing a wage as Sunderland’s number 2. I wish him well but he is a poor, poor keeper.
If Lee Burge hadn’t came through the academy he’d have been hounded our years ago.Don't really get the hate towards Lee Burge to be honest. Denigrating ex-players makes us look totally classless.
Burge was with us from the age of 18 and in his time here had some fantastic games; Notts County away was one of them.
As with most keepers he's going to make mistakes - look at Man Utd's keeper on £350K a week - it's a confidence position and mistakes are very costly and often lead to a lack of confidence.
Lee didn't demand to leave, he simply wasn't offered a new contract. Always did his best for the shirt as far as I could see.
Is Marosi an upgrade - for sure he is but I wish Lee all the best and hope he does great next season.
As for the general Sunderland hate - I find that equally embarrassing and pointless to be honest. Just my view.

Tony Mowbray though Reice Charles-Cook, now released from Macclesfield town, was better than Burge.
Premier League, Europa League, FA cup winning David De Gea? The same David De Gea that has been in the PFA Team of the year 5 times?To be honest most of that describes De Gea to me.
Marosi is a big part of that but it’s probably worth a mention that last season he conceded more goals than Burge despite playing less games.
In 2019/2020 Marosi kept 14 clean sheets in 34 games, conceding 30 goals at 0.88 goals conceded per game.Arsene Wenger also thought Charles-Cook was better than Dan Bentley who is probably the best keeper we’ve played against in the last few years. I felt for Burge. He gave it his all, put in some great performances that won us key games and made some mistakes that cost us some others. Some of the abuse aimed in his direction was a poor show. His record in his last season for us wasn’t bad at all in terms of goals conceded. We conceded less than one of the clubs above us, had a similar record defensively to some others and it was obvious the main problem was scoring goals. We finished with F54/54, Peterborough 71/62, Sunderland 80/47 and Pompey 83/51. If we had scored a few more Burge could’ve had another medal and promotion on his fireplace. The players up top didn’t always appear to give 100%, made a lot more mistakes, had far more terrible games and seemed to get a free ride at times.
On the whole we’ve clearly improved at the back. Marosi is a big part of that but it’s probably worth a mention that last season he conceded more goals than Burge despite playing less games. It’s how it goes sometimes. Personally I hope he does well unless he plays against us and he has a good career.
The constant need to lick the arse of a shit goalkeeper was why he was such a talking point when he was here and why he’s still such a talking point now.Arsene Wenger also thought Charles-Cook was better than Dan Bentley who is probably the best keeper we’ve played against in the last few years.

In 2018/2019 Burge kept 9 clean sheets in 44 games*, conceding 54 goals at 1.23 goals conceded per game.
*excluded Stockdale's 2 games/2 clean sheets.
