You shouldn’t need to give a 18 year old strict instructions, it should be as simple as saying you need a rest so we are giving you one.
Novices need greater instruction. That's cognitive fact. They don't have the experience or expertise to draw upon. It's 101 coaching.
‘got the wrong Bellingham’ almost suggests we ‘should have went for Jude’ who was over £100millikn, plays for the biggest club in the world, and is currently the best player in the planet.
Let's be honest, you haven't got a clue what he is in this for, only him and those close to him will know that
Heard a few whispers that we’re looking at Liam Millar, would be happy if we brought him in like. Plays on the same side as Clarke tho..
Cheers mate, didn’t understand a word of it like. Much simpler to say you aren’t playing on Saturday mate.
If he was 'up to something' he'd make sure no one knew ... ... 'blowing his cover' would cost him millions. I had a lad, who's not a Sunderland supporter, say we're trying to line him up for the summer ... ... either on a permanent now, with a loan back, or an agreed contract now. He's not an excitable fella so not likely to make anything up.
He seems to drift out of games and then his head goes down. I've watched every game both home and away on TV and I've struggled to find him on the pitch at times. I'm not knocking him as he was very much in the early season games I just feel that for whatever reason he is being managed poorly the last 6-8 games. **** the politics surrounding his transfer to us and give the lad a rest or risk him breaking down which could finish his " our " season. I can't imagine other talented 17/18 Yr olds being treated like this and flogged to exhaustion. I can only think of the young centre half we had on loan from Man City who's name escapes me...ah yes it was Doyle !!!
I suppose we could buy him and loan him back to Preston, that way we would risk losing him in the Summer. I've seen him play several times including against us and he looks a very talented lad. I think Basl paid £1.5 mil for him and I've read that the club are in financial difficulties.
Hes the project tho. He is the one they pinning hopes of making massive money on. Therefore constantly playing him. Needs a couple weeks rest and he will come back a better player
I agree Pritchard is better but he isn’t as good as you keep making out. He has some games where he is pretty crap tbh. He’s playing for a contract at the moment like so doing better.
Adam Wharton from Blackburn linked to a £15m move to palace, good player but shows what good championship players cost too, trying to get value in this country is a ****ing nightmare
Say what you like about SD, I suspect, excluding the fee to buy the club, he invested more in the club than KLD has to date (own money that is).
