Jobe Bellingham - Signed

[MSC]

The fooker said you never win anything with kids! Anyone told Speakman and Kyril?

The season Man Utd went on to win the treble

Interesting that Michut said we offered him the chance to stay. Bellingham was always one of our top targets anyway, so that tells me we will still want another CM as well as bellingham

I don't think we recruit like that.

Nice to get some business down early. Really think this is another really smart signing by the recruitment team.

Onwards & upwards!

 

[Kernel]

Hopefully some reassurance to our younger lads the direction the club is going if they are in two minds whether to stay or not.

 

[Billy Batts]

This a goer or what?

 

[TheBronzeBummer]

The good thing is, this signing doesn't really hinder the young ones already here. Because anyone near his role isn't ready yet anyway.

 

[Grimes]

Wow what a signing if this comes off

 

[Cream Soda]

This a goer or what?

Aye.

We'll have four (five if you include Embleton) - Evans, Neil, Ekwah, Bellingham. I'm not sure we need more for what is, effectively, competition for two slots in the team.

This signing was a mooted medical within 10 days, 14 days ago by Romano, it’s now within 7 days for a medical by Fish flaps.

I’ll just wait for the scarf pic as everyone’s just guessing.

I think we can safely discount Evans from that list; he will never start a league game again for Sunderland

What makes you say that?

 

[Wayne The Punk]

What makes you say that?

Out until xmas I believe, so if we arn't doing it by then I cant see him being a game changer

 

[North of the Smoke]

is it confirmed?

Fair point but, I think we missed him a lot until big Ek started

 

[Wayne The Punk]

we did, but I wouldnt be surprised if we didnt see him again, good of the club to give him a year

Is he done for, then? The last I heard was that he'd be back for next season. If he's done, then we will need another CM. To be honest, even if he's fully fit, he doesn't get in the team ahead of Neil / Ekwah, anyway - he's very much in the squad as cover.

He is starting to do his coaching badges. It would be good to keep him around the club, maybe at youth level. By all account's he is a great professional.

Romano confirmed RAOS.

He’s not expected back till about November I think, then he obviously needs to up the match fitness.

I reckon his first start will be the FA Cup game.

 

[PS]

Something up with this deal?
