I'm the same. Got a great turn of pace over the first few yards, good close control. Those chances he snatched at in a couple of the games was simply down to him thinking he HAS to impress straight away as he knows he won't get many chances. I like the lad personally.I think there's a player in there. I rate the lad
I never understood why he wasn’t even getting a game for the U21’s ? Surely playing some football would have been better for him than just sitting getting sores on his backside.The lad has definitely got talent, however he really needs games right now to push on. So I'm expecting a loan to hopefully a championship club as I doubt they'll risk him in the prem...
Is Speakman going to be the Loan Arranger!?High ho silver away?
Totally agree, it was really strange we never saw much of him in the u21...I never understood why he wasn’t even getting a game for the U21’s ? Surely playing some football would have been better for him than just sitting getting sores on his backside.
Let's see what Regis thinks.
99% of Sunderland supporters would have shipped Mayenda out before the start of this season but Regis saw something in him and he and his coaching staff have developed and improved him.
They've obviously worked intensely on his finishing as after missing a few one on ones he finished the season as a deadly finisher.
We might see rbe same levelling up in Aleksic.
My big prediction for 2025-26 is that Ahmed Abdullahi is going break into the team.
All these predictions just become so much harder in the prem. It’s just a diff level
Championship is perfect to give people game time
Young lads often need to be given time, how much did Mayenda, Mundle or Hume feature in their first season here?Regis has had him for a full season and he barely played - obviously doesn’t rate him. He’ll be away IMO.
With Mayenda though I thought he actually looked quite exciting, albeit very raw, in the fleeting appearances he made after coming back from injury just before Mowbray was sacked. Then Beale came in, Rusyn finally scored and was always going to be first choice from then on so it made sense for Mayenda to go and build up fitness on loan. Whereas Aleksic couldn't get a look in in the Championship and we've since been promoted. He may surprise us but the likelihood is he's a long way away from the Prem.Let's see what Regis thinks.

That's a good point. I don't like using the example of the Saudis but young Miley played quite a bit and done pretty well when surrounded by better more experienced players so it can be done.
Le Bris is treating him terribly IMO. Taking the piss out of him.
