Abdoullah Ba

Seems they won't ho out on loan, sitting on contracts and refusing to budge.

Lack of interest from teams across Europe show that they are not worth signing.

Ba has been out on loan 🤷
And he's out of the picture because he isn't good enough not because he's a work shy fkr like Rodwell. Ridiculous comparison

It’s hard for the likes of BA.
he was brought in at a time to inject a bit of quality but we outgrew this quicker than the development.
BA isn’t a poor signing player just we have progressed so much.
He won’t get a look in anymore and doesn’t seem to fit into any squad at Sunderland now.
A lot of harsh foolish comments on here about division 1 players.
I hope he gets a move so he can develop into the best he can.

Well which is it, a lack of interest or the players refusing to budge? Hardly "stealing a living" if there's a lack of interest in players who signed contracts with us in good faith.

Not if they refused loans because of the wrong attitude to prove themselves.
 
Just free spaces with us having loads U21 who don't need to be registered. Might as well fill all 25 spots.

They're no nearer to playing than they were last week.

Ruined by Mowbray trying to turn him into an attacker. He showed a lot of promise as a box-to-box DM.

No he didn't, he didn't cover/ track men or chase back - basically had no positional discipline and we were wide open centrally with him in there.

I also don't think it was just Mowbray - Speakman made comments regarding him playing in more attacking roles and even left wing before we bought Mundle. Clearly they were trying to fit his pace and athleticism into a positon having bought a young player from France who had a couple of decent attributes, but was miles off a good footballer. He just wasn't good enough.

I Don't think we helped him by playing in s different position almost every game he appeared in but nothing in his play suggested he'd be a decent CM imo.

Always said i thought he'd be an excellent 5 a side player but thought he never had a role or awareness to stick to one on a big pitch

We signed him as a centre mid I think that suggests he’s a centre mid
