Think Neil’s head been turned by offers from aboard…

Goes overseas plays well chance he’ll get in the England squad

In all honesty I've no concern about what players want to do providing the club comes out of it well.

I'd hope Tommy Watson has shown us that, once a player has decided he wants to leave Sunderland, he becomes a cash sum and that's all.

Pickford and Henderson, winning England caps, has done very little for us tbh.

It's time to get serious and do what we've done with the likes of Clarke and Stewart ...

... cash in when the time is right and move on.
 
Would love Neil to stay, we need a local core and to keep the team spirit of last season together as best we can. However they also need to be good enough. Maybe RLB thinks we can do better, maybe Neil wants a new challenge. Could be a bit of both.

There's a few British loving it in Italy now, even that Scottish lad is captain of Bologna now (forgot his name) I could see Neil thriving over there. Plus it's a canny place to live.
 
I think he wants a new challenge. Could be intimidated by the new centre mid signings too. Maybe he’s been told he will have to fight for his place and decided he wants to go somewhere he is guaranteed to start.

Could be anything

Well I'd really like to see him stay. I can't think of a better challenge than being with us in the PL after the horrors of the last few years and his role in getting us back there. And as for fighting for your place, well I hope they all feel they have to. Every time they play.

But you have to want to stay, want to constantly prove yourself. We'll see, but I hope he's still here in August.
 
You and me both mate, think he’s going to blow up this year
I have a great feeling about Rigg this year, thought he struggled at times last season but you often forget he was 17. He showed some unreal glimpses of the player he will become

Said it many times but he's the best prospect I've ever seen at Sunderland and under the right development I think he could become an elite player
 
Without being disrespectful to Neil as much as I love him as a footballer he seems to be a bit on the less intellectual side

Does he learn the language and settle in a new country?
