playoff the under 21 under 23 playoff final and he looked quite good he made some good saves and composed on the ball and handling was pretty good obviously it might be a bit too much of a push to put him straight in the first team straight away but he's certainly one to keep an eye on but I can't see Bart moving on
Really, he's got his deal.
I just can't see him.
He knows and the club know that he's got an issue with his knees.
Everybody knows it's why he was taken out of the side.
So he's got a deal.
Again, a bit like George Evans, he doesn't have to move on.
George Long, look, I think we all know
what the general feeling is on him.
But I think Rowett is going to stick with him and I think he's going to persevere with him.
And I think you'll see us looking to try and play a little bit more football out from the back with the three centre-halves if he goes down that route, which means Long will play.
unless an incredible goalkeeper becomes available to us, you know, you get the comments, don't you?
The agents, you know, try and, you know, shift their players on.
I think there's some good goalkeepers in and around our level that we should be looking at, but unless one is actually handed to us on a plate,
I think we'll be seeing George Long between the sticks come the first game of the season.
The one that I would love us to go and have a look at, and I think we were interested in him last summer, was Ellis Sims from Everton.
I think he looked really good for Sunderland in that role.
I think he tormented us in that game at the Stadium of Light, scored the goal.
The third goal, I think, and just his general all-round play was quite good.
Sunderland obviously had a good end to the season.
