…..I think they also got Tete for ‘buttons’.
I thought he was terrific up against Ndiaye in the game at Goodison earlier this season, very impressive performance. Injury record clearly a concern but I’d be more bothered if it was the same thing...
More importantly, Sunderland are not going to want to get rid of their rising stars as they come into the PL, the premium to prize them away would be hefty!
I struggle to understand how our fans don't think we'd get our pants pulled down on...
Fingers crossed mate. in a year or two, a settled squad growing together and we can invest in these lads and bring them on - without having to bring in half a match day squad like this summer.
Its going to be that natural tension of the summer...
Don't disagree with any of that - we are (hopefully) a year or two away from being able to make this sort of signing I'd say.
He looks a great prospect, but we just aren't in the position where we can throw £30m at a lad who probably won't have...

My mate who is a Sunderland...
I think this is the conundrum mate, i dont think hes ready for the PL either, but i think once he is he will be very, very good.
There is a defo a market for hoovering up these talents before they are ready - whether we are a club who are able...
Rigg looks a bit special to me mate, i got these wow vibes anytime i watched him earlier in the season. Hes something a little bit special in my opinion.
To be completely balanced, he regressed as the year went on. Which you would absolutely...
He will, and i think a few of Sunderlands players, will struggle with the physicality of the Premier League (Its why Jobe hotfooted it off to Germany).
That's not a slight on him, he's 18, but i can see him being used a little less next season...
