But couldnt break into the worst Sunderland midfield in my lifetime,and is often a sub at blackpool.
You said he couldn't impact games even at junior level. I've just provided proof that he scored goals for England. He couldn't perform at a higher junior level unless they set a game up on mount everest.
 
Yes he has been unused sub for a bit but came on 2nd half against burton and played on sat... from them minutes he has been brilliant. I think you have a player... especially when he scores tonight
Pleased to hear that. When he was out on loan at Grimsby he was a fans favourite, and was voted League 2 player of the month at one stage. Grimsby wanted to sign him permanently apparently, but then he suffered a nasty grade 3 hamstring tear, which looks like it has taken him a long time to recover from. I think he just needs to build his confidence in the hamstring repair. It seems to me that he still "shields" it a bit, and doesn't seem to get to "full stride". There's no doubt that there is talent there. Love to see him crack a set piece in for you tonight.

best I seen him play was I fink agaist Wimbledon when a lot of the players were out with Covid in the second half he played as a holding midfielder and he’s passing was very good I know he’s more of a winger/attacking midfielder but playing deport got him on the ball
 
How annoyed must robson be, leaves sunderland because embleton jumped ahead of him in the pecking order for embleton to join blackpool and now barely play
 
After watching him tonight, I just hope the decision to loan him out doesn't bite us in the arse.

His movement off the ball is excellent, he drags defenders all over when he goes looking for the ball, he was making runs into the box when the ball went wide, he's got great vision for playing through balls.

Could have been the ideal replacement while O'Brien is out because Maguire and Gooch haven't got that ability.
