Even before the beginning of the season I said Sunderland will be the ones to stay up, they mean business and they have the means to back it up. They are going to be annoying the next two or three seasons if they can build on this. But it's so good to see one of the institutions come back up and do well.

He’s the key to their success.

He’s such a great footballer in every way. Up there with Jamie Vardy for mine, who to me is a similar kind of player.

He will make a great manager one day

Yeah I agree. I’d like him to come back to get some experience under Arteta because he’s got so much to offer.

Him and Elneny, he’s another one that if we’re to be successful this year, should be remembered for the work they did building this team.

I wanna see Elneny involved with our academy at some point. Especially given he has that football club of his already that he made during his ACL

Yeah absolute same. He offered so much behind the scenes and I reckon it’s a big reason why there’s so much gel in the team.

Frimmy as well. These people don’t get the spotlight they should.
