I wouldn't worry about it mate, you've basically said please stay fit because you're a quality player and there's not many would disagree. It won't be news to him that Sunderland fans are frustrated about his lack of playing time.

We are all the same. You are no worse than the rest of us.
I look back at the drunk and drugged cloud that was 18-25 for me every so often and it makes me feel physically sick with humiliation.
If you feel bad send the lad an apology and I'm sure he will understand.
You had a big weekend. It's my experience, through exhaustive research, that such weekends use up all your excitement, your happiness, and your energy. And they leave you in deficit.
Eat well, hydrate, sleep well, do some exercise and you will be back to normal in no time.
Nowt is ruined, I promise you.
Got myself in good shape now but in a mental rut again. Coming home to an empty house is not nice and make you think about life.
If im honest im struggling to get over my 3x fiancee still and im trying my best but its hard
Superb defender. He’ll be starting for England before long, really unlucky not to be at the Euros.
I was surprised to see Lewis Dunk picked over him.
I used to be a fan of Dunk but i thought he was really really poor last season
Branthwaithe def should have gone instead
Always been a massive fan, he has a bit of everything and you can see why the big clubs want him
He'll develop into the next Van Dijk in the next 24 months, a bold prediction.
Ive watched him for years and he was always a stand out, in a weird way i didnt think he realised how good he actually was and played within himself.
When he went to PSV he seemed to gain the confidence needed and sean dyche is the perfect manager for him at the minute
I think Dunk is better on the ball, and plays in a team that likes to play through a press. That is my reasoning for him over Branthwaite at this stage. Also, Branthwaite can be a bit rash, as we saw in the friendlt game. Tight margins, but tournaments are all about tight margins.
Dunk just looks so off it defensively at the minute, i can understand why southgate has gone for him tho
Interesting as well that he came through at Carlisle from the age of 8, where he is from, none of the big academies picked him up at underage levels and Everton had to buy him at 18. I've long thought that Cumbria, being remote and with a small population isn't serviced by the big clubs sufficiently. There's probably a small amount of decent talent that is left to the smaller clubs (Carlisle, Workington, Queen of the South) and as a result is perhaps not as developed as it could be.
Honestly if Everton can hang onto him for another season I could see him going to Madrid or Barcelona.
Neither do I really, I’m not sure he’s good enough on the ball, can see why he’d appeal to Dyche though.
