Gets injured too much for me, only played 6 games for them in 2024 - only played 21 league games for them this season id be worried about his injury record plus his performances last 2 seasons havent been great from what I've seen of him
Every Boro fan i know is sad to see him leave. He the experience were crying out for and covers about 4 different positions on the pitch
He is experienced n used to be class on his day but his injuries are an issue (theyve taken a toil on his performances imo). We are crying out for experience but experience that can play every week n not sure hes that player any more
Yeah true, not sure what the issue is there like but im sure a thorough medical would be done before anyone signs him
Be interesting to see who the promoted 3 release, half hoping Leeds go up so Cresswell is 100% available think he’d be perfect alongside Ballard
Yeah im not sure if its just been 1 injury thats impacted him all season or several I like his versatility but feel we need to focus on players who are really strong in 1 position - we seem to have quite a few players that can play a few positions without being specialised in any of them
Sunderland have released 20-year-old striker Harry Gardiner, The Echo has learned. Gardiner signed a new one-year deal at the club last summer, extending his stay on Wearside until 2024. However, the club have opted against offering the forward a new deal with the youngster now set to depart, as first revealed by BBC Look North.
We still have Jack Diamond, Matete and Embleton on our books aswell. We need a big summer sorting this current squad out.
I've got to agree with you in the bold bit. I can never understand footballers who say they just want to play then go and spend most of their career sitting on the bench. It can only be money motivated. Yes they have a short career but what can you look back on by winning medals just for being a substitute. Can you imagine after he's retired - "What did you get that medal for dad?" "Sitting on my arse son watching a match at Wembley"
Aye we do Tees. Some need moving on and some need a season on loan to see how they develop, because most of the players signed in the last couple of windows are just not ready for Championship football.
Few weeks back I was edging towards sign him but now he’s what 23/24? And no one knows his correct position yet, I think we can do better
No better than what we have and I haven't seen anything that shows he will massively improve. He's been here 4 months and we still don't know his best position
