Nice words, and all true. Pleased he got to play in the prem with us after joining in League one. Will always be grateful for Sheff Wed in playoffs, the assist at Wembley, and being at times a real touch of quality amongst dark days.

Not unhappy he's gone, think his minutes and impact here would have been minimal this season, and sending to a top end championship club feels about right for where he can do well.
 
Patrick will always be able to call Sunderland home, and he will always be welcome at the Stadium of Light.

Seems a strange thing to say for just a loan?

Anyway best of luck to the lad. Great player for us in our recent history. Sad to see him go however the club have unfortunately outgrown him.

For all intents and purposes its permanent as doubt his contract will be renewed. Shame but will get over it eventually I guess 🤷
 
Great servant to the club and came to us at our lowest ebb and took a chance on us really.

Gave his all and we've got back to a level where he unfortunately isn't good enough to make an impact.

All the best but it's the right time
 
I've long been a critic of him, because I felt he lacked the final bit of decision making around the box that would be important in our games for the future. He always gave 100% every game and appreciate that, while being part of our rise. He needs game time, so good luck to him at Birmingham.
 
The type of player who gets you off your seat, he's always been exciting to watch. He's been a fantastic signing, wish him the very best and will be welcome back here any time.

When Roberts, Clarke and Amad were flying, dear me, some of the best football I've seen live. If not the best.

If he’s played his last game for us, then we all need to say a massive thank you to Patrick Roberts. He was instrumental in our rise to the PL, his goal against Sheff Wed in the play offs was possibly the most important goal in our recent history. Without it, the two play off wins may never had happened and we could well still be languishing in league one with all hope now gone. That’s without mentioning his contribution to the Championship play off final in May. He helped to change the game when he come on and his assist to Mayenda was top-drawer.

An absolute wizard with the ball at his feet and his work rate could never be questioned. Probably a lack of pace/strength and final ball/finishing has prevented him becoming a PL player for us, which is a shame.

Good luck in the future.

Great post. I hope we see him at the SoL again during his career. I'm also delighted that he got on off the bench against Burnley so he got another PL appearance and can say he played for us in 3 divisions. The goal at Sheffield Wednesday, the assist against Sheffield United. Hell, even the fact he lost the ball which led to then getting it back and passing it to Keifer Moore :lol:. It's been said a lot but we really wouldn't be here without him. What an impact he had on the team and was a joy to watch, brightened up some very dark days
