Really disappointed the lad hasn't given us a season in the Prem after all the badge kissing etc last weekend, then within 48 hours he's in Germany looking to move on....I understand the model were working to and if we recruit to improve our squad fair enough.
Wish him well but wish he'd stayed.

I didn’t see any badge kissing mind. He was very careful with his behaviour and his wording in interviews etc so as not to be disingenuous or misleading.

He’s clearly formed a pretty big emotional attachment to the club (part of why he was so overtly and expressively emotional will have been that he knew he was moving on) and it won’t have been an easy decision for him but he clearly sees being elsewhere as the best next step in his development.

He was tapping the badge saying ‘Premier League’ but, again, that was more disassociating himself from it.

Ideally, the Bundesliga club want to complete a transfer in time to include Bellingham in their squad for the forthcoming Club World Cup in the United States.

Sunderland’s owner, Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, and sporting director, Kristjaan Speakman, are understood to be resigned to the loss of Bellingham this summer.

However, with the 19-year-old contracted to the Stadium of Light until the summer of 2028, they are in a strong negotiating position and are adamant Bellingham will only be leaving on their terms.

Reports in Germany have suggested Bellingham’s contract contains a €40m release clause (around £35m), but have claimed Dortmund are hoping to complete a deal for a lower initial fee.

The Sunderland hierarchy are likely to be willing to discuss a range of compromise options, but will insist the final overall package for the deal is worth at least £35m. There have been suggestions that Dortmund could be willing to pay an up-front sum of around £25m, with the rest of fee made up of future add-ons.

Jobs off according to Keith, £25m, has a higher release clause but sounds like we are knocking some off for Jobes commitment last summer, gutted but goes with my best wishes, I’m tired of our players being linked away can we have some incoming links now :emoticon-0102-bigsm:emoticon-0102-bigsm

Never felt like Jobe would stay beyond this year so I'm not really all that disappointed though he is player with a remarkable amount of upside.

Also don't really feel like we owe him anything. He was important to us going up but our willingness to make him a key member of the squad/team at about 12 years old was important to his development.

He goes with my well wishes but without any particular amount of sentiment really. He's someone else's player now and I hope we take their eyes out for him.

Jobe was part of this season's stellar achievement and stellar moments so I'll always hold him in high regard.

I don't think the club is wanting to sell Jobe ,but it appears we have said to new signings, if a move suits us both then we will support you . Jobe playing in another team where he is around more experienced player looks like a better option for him and his career. For me we should be used to us selling our best players, as we have done it for decades. What we are not used to is the club having the ability to replace that player with a better one. That for me is what I am interested in ..can this new regime break our curse of selling gold and buying tin plate.

Hmm, was hoping we'd look into him back when he was at Le Havre with Ba - has had a tricky old time at Fiorentina but he's certainly got ability.

Uses his height well, winning headers and has a lot of reach for challenges.

Translation of the tweet describing him:

Substitute at Fiorentina, but with a unique profile: a 2-meter monster, who dominates duels but impresses with his technique. Accurate with long passes and crosses, he organizes up front or receives between the lines.
