Be interesting to compare if Gyokeres come back to the PL.

I can see them getting Cunha before Delap if I’m honest mate.

I don’t wholly buy their poor mouthing if I’m honest.

I agree tbh, I don't see the Delap thing, Cunha and Utd has been talked about for a while. Got no worries about Gyokeres in the PL, lots about him and Arsenal which I can see.

Maybe agent talk trying to get delap more money, do feel at the price he is a 30 mill would interest alot of teams. Could be wrong but sure the new deal with cunha gives him a 60 mill and clubs can talk to him

I can see both Delap and Cunha at Utd, misery guts will be in for him with a big wage with a high upsides and relatively small fee - always felt Europe and Wages would sway the Delap deal - never thought we had a chance. A deal for Cunha many are reporting us a fair bit down the line.

Be interesting to see where Gyokeres ends up would hate to see him somewhere like Chelsea, Arsenal be a good move.

If they don't go up, we really should be looking at the other Bellingham from Sunderland

Anonymous tonight.

I’d have a look at coventrys right back though, looks a player.

Their centre back was with us as a kid, Bobby Thomas. Some decent players in this game, would certainly have a look at a couple from whoever doesn’t go up.

No thanks, rather have Simms from Coventry back. Or Mason Clarke, come from league one Peterborough united

Rigg looks a lot bigger than I thought/remembered. In my head he was a Foden build

I can't wait to see Sean Longstaff gracing BMD

Yeah, can't say I've spent much time watching Sunderland this season but, given all the transfer talk about Bellingham and the £20 million figures being thrown around, I've been pretty disappointed with him tonight. That goes for Dan Neil as well actually

Whisper that mate you’ll attract @Zatara …

Think he’s got bags of potential but it’s just that. No way should we be going anywhere near him for the figures quoted.

Anything below 20m would be interesting though if they don’t go up.

The word “potential” has been bandied about because he’s 17 years old and got in to the first team. But you can’t simply think a player is going to be good just based on a young age, you have to actually show something. His name has been bandied about all season, again, because of his age, so I’ve watched as much as I can. Every time I watch him I see absolutely nothing about him whatsoever. Doesn’t seem to excel in any area and just looks very very “meh” to me. The figures bandied about are nuts.

He’s definitely got some talent and he’s a good size for 17 and competitive but I’d absolutely agree.

Coventry’s right back looked good tonight as did Ballard for Sunderland.
