Can't begrudge him moving to Brighton though, top club for developing youth. If that money lets us buy a player, renew some contracts and maybe even keep a player who looked likely to leave then it's only a positive.

Only issue I have his the appetite from the player. We have worked hard to build a pathway and proven to develop youth. He hasn't even played a hand full of games and has wanted out at the very first opportunity.
 
On a side note, those that say its too early to get promoted and its no big issue if we dont this season.
Look at where Brighton were not that long ago, and how they are now a relatively small club in the Prem fighting for Europe and signing the best young talent around the world and selling them on for a massive profit. They are like we now but only on a much larger scale dspite having a much smaller fanbase.

In full agreement with this, and I defended him towards the end of Jan, genuinely thought he’d wait to see what league we’d be in and reevaluate if we were promoted. Leaves a sour taste and not sure what we do with him between now and season end.

Bournemouth and Brentford too, on paper were miles bigger, it’s doable even if it takes a few years of yoyoing

If this is true I will go crackers.
Tommy's deal has been done and he will miss the last 4 games and any playoffs.
Brighton have put this in the deal.

And we have agreed to it, now not a fact but came from an agent based in Wembley.
So don't shoot me till I get it confirmed.

Yeah stings a bit. He'll probably be out on loan in the Championship next season as well.

Look at Forest now aswell. Youve got to be in it to win it and showing zero ambition and happy to plod on in the Championship is not the way forward.
Getting promoted will give us a ridiculous amount of money, and even if we couldnt stay up imagine how strong we'd be now in 2 years time back in the Championship than 2 years time from not being promoted.
 
Good talent. £10m is unreal for us though. Given his ability right now he’s not that close to Mundle imo. Personally thought the hype was a bit premature but Brighton do have a good eye.

Smart business from us. Find it strange that he’s gone so soon tho

Agree mate, said it before I don’t like the prem and all it stands for but ultimately I want Sunderland to be the biggest and best they can be if that means the prem and all its bullshit then bring it on
