What was the ankle injury he had? Feels more serious then I thought if he’s only just now back running.

Have you actually watched him last season? He has very little footprint on the internet for some reason, so it's been hard to see him without actually watching Forrest or the England U21s, but he's looked excellent. He covers a lot of ground and wins the ball all over the pitch, can make line breaking passes, switches it with ease, and can dribble through if needed. He broke through the Dutch midfield last night with an outrageous turn near the 90th minute. The Bruno regen comments are spot on. He'd arguably be starting over Joelinton and given he's only 22 his attacking output could improve too.

Didn’t start first 4 games, but come off bench in all 4. Then started started 4 in a row, completing 90 mins in 3 of them, then back on bench for 9th game. Mixed in with 2 appearances off the bench in UCL. Then his back injury ruled him out until March, missing essentially 4 full months which is often the busy months. Then starts 50% of remaining 12 league games when he’s back from injury in our push for Europe. Coming off bench in rest of them. That’s plenty of minutes for a breakout season and it’s silly to say otherwise. That’s what you want from a young player and what we would’ve wanted for Miley this season gone.

Stif, what are you talking about?

Chelsea will get the ‘benefit of the doubt’ for being the first team to do it and not realising that it’s not in the rules. Aston Villa will get a fine to start showing that they clamping down on it. Anyone else after could face more serious consequences. If you had bought a club for £300m, put in another £200m, with the aim of building a £300m training complex, and a stadium costing anything from £2bn-£4bn all to get them to be one of the best teams in the world, would you risk it all for a small (the grand scheme of things) PSR boost where falling foul of the rules could lead to you missing out on Europe and missing out on your chance to break into the ‘elite’ clubs?

Yes I agree but any sale will be judged by Fair market value and future value when our team is in the champo won't wash.

It is, was in the local press the other week.

It's not about the worth now. It's about where it can be in the future potentially.. So we wouldn't sell for what the womens team is worth now.

Brentford are basically Brighton, they’ll find some players and be alreet. Even if they struggle the bottom three likely not fit for purpose.

"Narrow lee" had me double take like.

He wouldnt have been starter this season and hopefully we wouldnt need him in the future, apart from rotation. Better than Willock but pretty much the same attacking output

I think that just reinforces the point that the Seaburn Stack is still the most popular location in Sunderland.

Uefa They are a joke. Let's see what punishment they have for Chelsea who they've breached before over spending.

You are forgetting that whilst the Premier League allows these deals, UEFA does not.

Why not ? Didn't every single one of them forecast last years mad scramble to make the PSR budget at the end of June ? Arh yeh your right not a peep from amy of them until after the event and then we got a full explanation once they realised what the fuck went on and now of course they are all experts.

Biffo the Bear makes me sad. They’re mackems. What’s his excuse?

Been great so far

Mastantuono looks really raw. Eager to get the ball but so many bad decisions and some sloppy touches so far.

Personally in on the fence about PIF and it's intentions. I will have a clear idea when I see the stadium plans but as usual it's #wait

Quite excited about this Inter-River Plate match.

I won’t hold my breathe, mind.

Sounds like PIF need to buy them another club or two…

That we could do yes.

We can sell anything and rent it back on the cheap and take all the revenue. Like the stadium.

Actually makes no sense for us to sell the women's team now. We won't be able to claim such crazy valuations as we aren't in the WSL.
