    Makes sense with the reports of us targeting 4-5 players to strengthen the spine.

    It’s bulletproof these days :emoticon-0102-bigsm I just look at the team Southampton had in the PL and it’s not worse than ours currently. But obviously a big window ahead, as it is for Leeds and Burnley too. All 3 will have a hard job staying up even with some serious money spent, that’s how tough the PL is now. Teams lingering around 13-16th with £30-40m players all over the park

    Hope the Abline link isn't agent talk. Really talented, versatile and can do a lot of different roles well. Played in all 3 positions in a front 3 and played in a front 2. I like him best dropping from the front line and carrying the ball forward and arriving late for crosses. Very competent with his back to goal and in the air despite his stature.

    His technical ability is better than Jobe. Jobe has more physicality. I do expect Rigg to be the better player. Technique always rises to the top. He also has this unreal attitude which elite players have. I dont think he will be overawed in any way by the premier league, or players we will bring in. I think he will see himself as first choice midfielder and if Regis doesnt he will go all out to prove him wrong. He is the player I will be most excited to watch next season.

    Pretty much agree. Would be more than fine with giving Mundle the starting role but he needs backup, same with the fullbacks i'm happy with them but there's currently zero depth and that's what would hurt us the most over a season.

    Some one who can play in all three forward positions is something we were after in January so I think it makes sense we are revisiting him now we have a bit more cash and still need to fill that role in the squad.

    Yeah we know RLB likes a small squad so having players able to play numerous positions will be key

    As for the strikers linked and rumoured they all have their pros and cons and really good highlights reels, I am happy as long as King Reggy is happy with them

    If they get him and Mbeumo, will be interesting to see if Amad is in their preferred first 11 (not suggesting we can sign him btw) just curious if he will lose his place at least initially.

    Good point mate

    Mbuemo and Gyokeres signing for Man U without any European football would prove they’re still a massive pull.

    I don't see where he would play. They will have effectively signed a whole new first choice front three for Amorims 343. He's played Amad as the wingback a few times but he can't seriously see that as his role unless they are chasing a game.

    I think Amorim would use Amad as a RWB and play Mbuemo/Cunha behind Gyokores. No idea what that means for Fernandes though, he’d have drop back into the one of the CM roles with Casemiro/Ugarte next to him

    Maybe the wing back in the system if they go back to Amorims preference.

    I just want to forget about him tbh. If he moves on then it’ll be a European club, not relegation battling Sunderland

    Yeah I've got no doubt if he does go it will be elsewhere not here.

    I have no doubts about Rigg at all, I just hope we get him signed soon to a proper adult contract.

    Players almost always improve at his age, often hugely and often quickly. Most are nowhere near a first team before they are eighteen, never mind having racked up dozens of starts. He has tons of talent, a great attitude, is an obviously strong character and has that vision that few players ever have.

    Just get the lad signed up, he is going to be a very big player.
