Transfer Rumours The Sunderland Links/Transfer Rumours Thread - Summer 2025

Billy Jones always gave his all and never hid away.

The only problem was that he was ****e.

 

I think both were decent premier league players but we were over reliant on them for far too long.

 

Just opened this thread and saw the names Billy Jones, John O'Shea & Seb Larrson.

please don't scare people like that without great warning

 

no Mitrovic means relegation end of some of these players wind up at Hartlepool

 

Did every team who doesn't have Mitrovic get relegated last year?

I missed that.

 

Mitrovic is omnipresent. He can play for every team at once and at any time.

 

Except us

 

Another wind up post dropped with no intention of engaging anyone when they reply! Just a wind up merchant, loads reckon not but can't be owt ele with ****e like this!

 

I was just about to post and say two more defeats at any point this season even after a 10 game winning streak and Monty will be posting for RLB to be sacked and Neil brought back!

Then had a quick look and he suggested about 57 minutes into Tuesdays match! Sack RLB and bring back Mowbray or Neil

Quick edit to say he suggested to bring back an English manager and then named Mowbray and Alex Neil! Alex Neil the Scottish bloke! FFS!

 

This is happening, know SFA about the lad, but looking at youtube, he seems to have the happy nack of being in the right place at the right time

 

Unrelated, but after this morning's shenanigans I noticed I have some posters on 'ignore' - can't remember putting them on ignore, but Monty is one of them....

 

Monty is good for the comedic value

 

I missed any shenanigans, fall out and bans recently. I'm glad!

 

Sunderland AFC is delighted to announce that Chris Rigg has signed a new long-term contract at the Stadium of Light.

After making his Premier League debut last week, the 18-year-old has committed his future to Wearside until 2030.

Rigg played an integral part in the Club’s 2024-25 promotion-winning campaign, featuring on 45 occasions in the Sky Bet Championship, including the Play-Off Final at Wembley Stadium.

The midfielder was subsequently named Championship Apprentice of the Year, adding the accolade to the 2024 North East Sports Writers’ Young Player of the Year award and the Championship Goal of the Month award for September 2024.

An Academy of Light graduate, Rigg is the youngest outfield debutant and goalscorer in Sunderland’s history, and he has already made 74 senior appearances in red and white.

The midfielder said: “It feels great to sign this new contract. There was only ever one ambition I had, and that was to agree a long-term deal here. It’s been an incredible journey since I made my debut at 15, and I love playing here and being here every day, so I’m absolutely buzzing. The past couple of years have flown by – it only feels like yesterday that I made my Championship debut, and a couple of weeks ago I made my Premier League debut. It feels unreal, and I couldn’t have asked for more. I’m so thankful to everyone who has helped me, and I’m so proud to be part of this team and this Club.”

Kristjaan Speakman added: “We are delighted that Chris has committed his future to Sunderland. He was an integral part of our success last season, and we are delighted with the progress he has made from the academy to our senior group. His accomplishments to date are impressive for a young player, but Chris, like the Club, is looking forward, and we believe he’s a really important part of our future. This is another fantastic moment for our academy and our staff, who have developed, progressed, and now retained a top talent, which is key to our strategy and culture.”
