Agree.These young lads don't all physically develop at the same rate.....I mentioned Gerrard on another post somewhere as an example.
I think we are currently building a squad that can compete in the PL, and its starting show, this group looks settled, players are knowing their roles.
I also think that if we do go up there may be a shift into our apporach to the transfer market, like we may spend more than we have, Partly down to promotion money that we will get.
but as others have said no one knows what will happen until it happens, .
I would say the one thing that could go our way is that we are being ran well for the first time possible since Quinn, Short just thew money at it and didnt think relegation was a thing

Ogunsuyi talking about how Abdullahi came into the dressing room at half time in their game against Gladbach
Brilliant that, good to see we’ve recruited another good character
Sunderland diehards will love 'irritant' Aaron Connolly but defenders will hate him
https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/spo...derland-diehards-love-irritant-aaron-30011259
.... Speaking on Total Sport, BBC Humberside commentator Mike White gave his verdict on Connolly’s arrival on Wearside. White saw Connolly in action throughout last season and praised his natural goalscoring ability, predicting that Connolly will be a success at Sunderland, if he can stay fit. And White also reckons Connolly has the potential to become something of a cult hero among Black Cats fans.
He said: “He’s an irritant. And I mean that for the opposition. He’s one of those players, if he’s on your side, you love him. If he’s on the opposition side, he winds you up beyond belief. He’ll annoy the defenders, he’ll try to get in their head, he probably is maybe having a little word with them and wind them up as well.”

More of a reply to both yourself & @Brainy Dose
Might be a case of all our young players are good enough as they develop over the season, using the trio you both mention, lets say they all kick on even further, look good enough for the PL & are....might be more of a case of not all 3 at the same time, PL is not forgiving at all & totally different to 3 young kids running a game at championship level.....at that point we have a bizarre problem, three kids good enough for PL all need games & want every 38 games, yet we need to put an older head in there & possibly block their growth. All might/would be to good for championship which wont fit, but a PL loan would be to a rival so also no good
Nice potential problem to have. Also consider i guess one may get injured, Rigg will have just turned 18....thats just wow if hes then good enough to be PL starter every game, might be the 3 need a little rotation which may disappoint if they continue as they are this season
All in all this is a very exciting time for the club. Way we have been careful spend wise possible were currently looking at couple of big purchases if we were to go up, but assessing the attitude also wont spoil the spirit of the team.
Wouldn't have minded bring a fly on the wall when they had that conversation

I love the way Regis conducts himself, he's a nice bloke but commands absolute respect. Exactly the type of character you want as head coach.
Floodgates have opened for Isidor hopefully! Great to see him score and have a good performance on his first start. Will do wonders for his confidence
I liked what I saw today. More of a presence than Mayenda and looks to occupy the defenders more. Always looking for the ball to be slipped in behind. Early days, but I think this lad has a lot to offer.
Our old mate Nixon has linked Patterson and Rigg to Man Utd and (I’m guessing) Chelsea respectively.
Rigg to Man Utd was being talked about during the week on talk sport as well.
They have had a huge interest in him for the past couple of years.
I can't see Rigg going there though, he will have much better options imo
Hang on, Nixon has linked Rigg to ****ing Birmingham 
Should’ve worded that better, Patterson linked to Man Utd, rigg only linked to Birmingham

Must have been on the space dust Nixon. Just because a club is happy to splash the cash doesn't mean it's on. Silly thing to print and just don't happen. Rigg will have the pick of clubs at the top level.
I would be interested to see how much people would be willing to pay for Patterson. If it's well into double figures, I would be tempted to sell.
Rigg to Brum is just ridiculous.
Patterson, can't say I'm incredibly attached to him. I had hoped Matty Young would really kick on this year as I kind of think Patto has plateaued.
Hang on, Nixon has linked Rigg to ****ing Birmingham
He must be on a weekend bender, out of all the clubs linked why the hell would Birmingham even be in the running, even if they could technically afford it.
