I think he look at decent player when I've watched him. If he succeeds in Dortmund, that price won't look much. From Sunderlands point of view, their issue is finding players of sufficient quality that want to play for Sunderland. They are going to get their arses kicked every week. They'd be better off accepting their fate and investing any money they have in young talented players who will make them stronger in the medium to long term.

English tax and paying for the surname a bit imo. He'll probably do well there.

I'm pretty sure he and Antonio were also generally taking the piss about him not scoring enough too.

Like an overbearing mother with dance kids

Bearing in mind they will see it as he contributed to them getting promoted and will offset it against that.

Can't stand the bloke personally but I try to look at the bigger picture and see what he would bring to the table. But yes that is my gut reaction as well.

-£20m for Pepe le pew, thar Marra? #FTM

Pope is really excellent at coming up with those saves after long periods of doing nothing like. Class mentality

Genuine question as I must have missed something - how are they not richer on Bellingham being sold when they only paid £3m for him?

Are they now going to live vicariously through him for the rest of his career, like with all those trophies Henderson won for Sunderland while at Liverpool?

Easy to forget that other than the goal they got this save was the only one they made Pope make in the whole afternoon. Palm that one in and it's a different story completely

That plus the £15m Brighton paid for another player gives them around £45m, Everton are apparently after one for around £15m as well.

I think the fact he was away negotiating getting away from the club as soon as he possibly could, despite promotion, speaks volumes about what he thought about them. Doesn't reflect particularly well on him either imo. Other clubs will just raise their prices regardless of the wage thing too tbh, they'll all ask top dollar now

Mug deal for Dortmund. They've done that transfer with the expectation that they can sell him on for 80-100m in 2 years time. Absolutely no chance that happens. They've been had big time.

Pope against Liverpool from Jones in the cup final.

Fair play how quick Jobe got himself out. Sure a few others will be looking on with envy

My stance means I’m bound to condemn it but . Besides, Miggy is harmless and Richarlison is an absolute roaster. Drunk words are sober thoughts, Grealish is bang to rights.

Dortmund have had their pants pulled down, big overspend that.

See my post above, they're not significantly richer on the two players sold. In fact, they're are about equal currently and two players down already

Shurely if there were any truth to the Grealish rumours, he would be coming in to play as a 10 in a 4231. The pursuit of Pedro also makes me think Eddie is willing to play a 10 v low block, both would excel there.

Said he'd volley Richarlison if he did his celebration in front of him iirc EDIT: Was for his keeper up show boating. Not a patch on Grealish's comments although he was smashed.

Yep, his lifestyle issues mean it's a hard no

Now, I've definitely missed what this was.

How is this bloke so underrated?

They've done well to get that much out of Dortmund for him I must admit. Only problem is that they're now significantly richer but much weaker, this means they have the double headache of having to replace important players (relatively speaking) and other clubs will know they've just bagged a load of cash to spend. The prices they're going to be quoted will be increased - it's not a Sunderland specific problem, it's just the way things work, all clubs doing similar would be in the same position. Can't complain about clubs taking advantage by raising prices when they've just done the exact same thing to Dortmund, can't have it both ways
