He is a future 1st team premier player Hopefully with us. Get safe (we already are imo) and as you say give him game time.
I'll be happy when we pass the 40 point mark and would be very happy now if we can finish with 50 after our recent issues.
Exclusive: Ian Poveda (26) has reached an agreement to become a new player for #InterBogotá, following a very successful management by the FPC leader 
Several Colombian teams were interested in the midfielder who will arrive from #Sunderland

Great day for the man, motm and an homage from Pickford
Absolutely huge that we try our utmost to outsource the next Xhaka in terms of a new leader.
Does anyone have any ideas as to who we could look at to bring in who has similar leadership skills with great discipline and influence? Its probably a 50 million pound player...

We could try looking for the young, inexperienced version of Xhaka and build them up. GX did have the hothead side that became more controlled in his late 20s so we’d need to excuse such driven players from overstepping sometimes.
I think and hope that the crowds have become a lot more understanding and supportive of really young and talented players. They will have ups and downs.
Sunderland have been handed a major boost after Dan Ballard agreed an extension to his current contract.
The Echo understands that Ballard put pen to paper on fresh terms ahead of the 1-1 draw with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday, and that confirmation of the new deal is now imminent. Sunderland have been keen to reward Ballard for his rapid progress on Wearside, emerging as one of the key players in Régis Le Bris's squad since promotion to the Premier League...
Edit: As with the vast majority of the squad from last season, Ballard's contract improved as a result of promotion but with clubs taking notice of the defender's stellar form, Sunderland moved to reward his performances. His previous deal had been due to expire in the summer of 2028, and it's thought that he has agreed an extension of a further year.

Excellent. Fully deserved
Would it be a good idea to get Xhaka himself involved in his replacement.
He must know loads of players and would probably have a good idea who to go for.
Even if it’s not his replacement I would hope we’re using him to try and get some next level players in.
Who knows, our management in the 2030’s might be a Xhaka/O’Nien partnership.
Good to see it seems to be more wage increase to reward his form.
Always remember what was said about Hutchinson and being denied the increase he was promised. And Isak with them lot.
Rewarding form when players have time left on contract has plenty of benefits for moral and players wanting to earn their wage increase etc...
And it adds a couple of years!
Think I’d be more interested in trying to get Fatawu from Leicester if/when they get relegated to L1.
They’re in a serious financial hole as well, so you’d think the fee could be quite reasonable.
I like Ugochukwu at Burnley, only 21, loads of potential. Esteve too but he’ll have loads of interest.
If West Ham go down they are fcked like a woman of the night is every Friday, even if they stay up, they have sell.
Do think one more win should do us.
Thought I'd have a look at out-of-contract players who could be available on free transfer this summer:

For what it's worth I doubt we'd be looking for many players in this category who are probably looking for a payday.
