One of the worst performances put in in a Sunderland shirt in recent history was him playing centre mid against Cardiff on his first start. He never started there again.
He was absolute wank in every position he played. 'Ruined by Mowbray' ffs.
He wasnt ruined by mowbray. He was simply not good enough. Was like bambi on ice when running with the ball.
Surprised we have not just paid them off given we are essentially safe now.
Belter you like, wonder if the football club ever thought of this outstanding bit of advice. Imagine that, coaching footballers.
We were desperate for a winger and had plenty of midfielders tried to save money by converting him , yes people actually improve parts of their game from been young from decent coaching wringing him off because he had 1 bad game centre midfield
You think they didn’t try to coach him where they thought he would be best suited?
I’m watching the match you obnoxious weapon go awayMowbray briefly played him centrally, then in a more attacking role. Speakman also spoke about him potentially playing wide left.
Beale played in right and then in an attacking right sided central role.
Le Bris didn't even entertain him.
One very experienced manager, three experienced youth coaches, two of whom have became head coaches and one a DoF.
Yet you know better
And he barely played there which suggests he wasn't a very good one
Wouldn't that be rewarding them by allowing them to collect a signing on fee and new contract somewhere else?
The poster's ego is impressive.Mowbray briefly played him centrally, then in a more attacking role. Then wide. He also spoke about him not understanding his duties in this type of football after he played centrally. Speakman also spoke about him potentially playing wide left.
Beale played in right and then in an attacking right sided central role.
Le Bris didn't even entertain him.

No they are not, stop being silly. We agreed and signed a contract with them. At no point have they refused to honour that contract. We have just moved quickly on that’s all
Lots of assumptions.
No because we had older more experienced players there couldn’t get games to develope so we tried to turn him into a winger as we only had Robert’s so he could get games
Yeah all big strong lads they needed a right winger separately and seen it as a way of giving him games they signed him he was a centre midfielder looked promising too
No was to try save us buying another winger and as he was a bit skinny to be sarting in the centre he should of been given a chance to prove himself was hung out to dry
