@GianfrancoShoIa Newcastle have to evolve, sooner or later every player leaves, we just need to have players to take their place... We seem to have a, strategy... Let's see if it's any good!
@GianfrancoShoIa It's partly own own making! Demand for news so accept speculation as news!
In old days none of this came out until deal was done... In interview the player might say x club was in for me too... Which was deniable by club!
@Capt_Fishpaste Same at every club with a big following... No right and wrong answer.
Club sets out a, procedure and it alienates one group over the other.
@SavMondo Agreed, imagine it in normal work life.
A manager would meet the employee for a chat and see what could be done to keep them (if they wanted to).
@Philip_RJ89 Doesn't remove the 'it doesn't happen to Sunderland' narrative you are trying to promote.
It absolutely would happen to SAFC, if a big team wants one of your players.... One day.
@Capt_Fishpaste No doubt he considered options. But ultimately is going to stay, what good would it do to hate him for doing what everyone would have done. It's a short career.
@dan_jr1987 I do think it's time to find out!
It's time to give him more playing time (in midfield) and see how good he can be... So to answer your question... I don't know.
