    You wrote it with great certainty.

    Just seemed an odd thing to write to me given you're not picking the team.

    You have to collect the shilling in person, so he can entrap you in his snare and push his little pinky up your sphincter. While laughing as the shilling isnt even legal tender.

    It seems odd to me that he wants away because of relegation if he is allegedly happy here. He ended up in Canada because he was unwanted three years ago and to a certain extent we resurrected his career. His WC aspirations seem a tad unrealistic as he got his England call up to fill in for injured players.

    How much is he on ? I doubt we can pay £75k in the Championship, I hear his release worked both ways.

    Like most players this summer, if they can get a better offer, they'll be off as their clauses will give them the right to leave. That simple

    Would love him back at Spurs to be an understudy to Kane. He knows and loves the place. Will get plenty game time with us being in Europe and will always finish given the chances...we would have ran Chelsea closer if we had Defoe when Kane was out.

    Think he would enjoy the Champions League experience too and his experience in the game is priceless.

    But I don't think we will have a place for him in the squad.

    Have you forgotten how we got him in the first place?
    He came on a straight swap for the non-scoring Dozy Jozy.
    A free transfer and a replacement for a huge mistake and liability.

    Whatever you think he might be worth or how much he is being paid, he has done what few signings have done over recent years, he has justified his wages.

    Obviously I'm a fan of his. I'd like him to stay and I think he would be one of two who would be worth their Prem wages, (Pickford would be the other), out of the 'Parachute Fund'.
    However, if he goes I wish him nothing but the very best of luck.
    In my view he owes us nowt. His goals, his effort, his general conduct have repaid everything and then some.

    I agree here but I'm keeping a positive that the fans and the magic of Sunderland will keep him here - waiting here with baited breath - just imagine an unbeaten end of season run and our support for the last 2 games in London .......<applause> <applause> :emoticon-0112-wonde .

    I'd take him as a squad filler.

    Given England's record in such Tournaments over the last 20 years or so do you see being selected as a good thing to have on your CV?:emoticon-0101-sadsm

    He got picked on merit.
    Not because of Bradley's illness. It's dogshit for you to link the two fella. Gotta say.

    Not bothered if it is or not pal. He won't get pick and that's that.

    For the squad yes.
    The goal scoring charts do not lie.

    Righto pal. The goal scoring charts didn't lie last season but Sam didn't pick him for England.
