Biggest worry for me would be the fact that he’s only got two years left at the end of this season.

If he keeps playing like he is the interest is going to be crazy.

If he shows signs he won’t sign a new contract we’ve already shown we won’t let our best players run their contract down
I'd imagine that there'll be another contract coming his way very soon.
 
He wont be with us for long if this continues.

Someone will bid £20m for him eg Man City, Arsenal, Dortmund etc.

He'll play for England in the same side as both Bellinghams
 
carries on the way he is going he will be at one of the top 4 next year even if we get promoted despite what the local expert 1more says.
No, not that soon. He (and probably his family) have sense. He signed up with because he gets what he needs most - game time in a club which trusts its young players. He'll stick with us if we go up. But not forever.

We can hold out for huge money. He's different level, position and market to Clarke.

Can we though? I hope you’re right but if he shows any signs he won’t sign a new contract they’ve already shown they won’t let people run into the final year of their contract.
 
Ridiculously good performance on a yellow card today.

One season with us in the Prem next year and he'll be off to Real or Bayern for £60m
I hope we haven't got a buy out clause like the older Bellingham had .
Our midfield could get us well over 100m pounds .

We'll chuck a big contract at him later this season I reckon. The club get a fair bit wrong but they're doing a very good job at tying talent down on long term contacts.
 
You’d certainly hope so. He’s the real deal like

I’ve seen nothing close to his level at that age for Sunderland like.

Come on now let’s not get ahead of ourselves here
Marra, I've watched us for 55 years, including Stokoe's cup win and not only have I not seen anybody as good as him playing for us, I honestly don't think I've seen many as good as him playing for anybody!


How the top dog scouts didn't discover him and nick him off us, I don't know, but thank God! I do realise he turned down some great offers elsewhere.
