I know he’s only 11 so he’s still growing but shocked to see how tall rigg is now he must have rocketed up this season
Fully deserved Jobe. From being used in 4/5 different positions last season, including being our best striker, and getting quite a lot of undeserved stick, to being one of the best in the league this season. An absolute monster in midfield, has all the attributes to play at an elite level for the next 10+ years. To top it off he's a good lad as well. Proud.
Loads of comments talking about how he's only won it because of his name Just watch the lad play. There's a reason he'll go for £25m+ this summer and big clubs that are renowned for signing young players are all over him. If Jobe doesn't play, Sunderland don't play and that's why he's our player of the season but a large margin.
Brilliant to see the young lads doing so well but hopefully we do not become a selling club for others to benefit with our young talent ala Jack Clarke,
I mean, I suppose so but when I think about he’s gotten Fulham, Bournemouth and Burnley promoted Yes hes done a good job but when you’ve inherited a parachute club you’re kind of playing with loaded die
Denver Hume and Luke Molyneux both made league 2 team of the season. Good to see academy products doing so well.
No complaints with the Clarke sale. He’d been superb for a while here and deserved a PL shot, just a same it was with a club who played a system that didn’t suit him one bit. Saying that, he won’t have a single regret about leaving us.
Conversely it’s a disadvantage having the name of a brother who’s been lauded as one of the best players in the world … … it’s been a real pleasure to see players like him in a Sunderland shirt.
The Oxford fans I met were praising him when he left 2 of their players for dead with a great bit of skill in the second half. So much skill for a big lad.
So many people saying x,y,z should be in team of the season because they’re scored this many goals I didn’t know team of the season was decided by the top goal scorer in each position in which case the team of the season is as follows Paul Nardi (has the highest xG for a keeper) Jayden Boyle Bobby Thomas Harry Darling Gregory Leigh Josh Brownhill Finn Azaz Josh Windass Dan James Joel Piroe Borja Sainz
