Being tracked by Sheffield United to play on the right of a back 3. Which is also a position we need some cover in, and some more ball playing defenders if we are going to persist with 3 centre backs.
If we are persisting with wing backs I'd be happy to see another youngster given a chance as back up.
I doubt MM will want him. In and out of the Sunderland team, he'll hardly be ready for PL football. . I know a few Mackems and they're not sold on him.
In all seriousness, I don't think he's all that and he was horrendous by the time he was dropped. It was absolutely criminal we let Peltier go last season without adequate cover considering Jazz's horrendous injury issues. Always difficult to judge a young player but I'm not sure Sanderson is good enough going forwards to cover his defensive lapses. He's a solid player and I think he'll probably end up at this level but he's not there yet.
Peltier didn't fit the system and extending a player's contract who doesn't have a future at the club is a bit risky. Bacuna had played the run-in as a RB and had done well enough.
Would be interesting to see how Sanderson is getting on this year - playing as a CB you assume his defensive play is improving - but think Bagan is the better prospect and I think he has some issues still to be worked on. Wouldn't say no to Sanderson mind given there was something there and did well in majority of the games.
Harris' system didn't suit anyone . Peltier didn't have to get renewed but we might have gone up with a proper right back!
Ng is a much better player than Sanderson, it's night and day. Sanderson is not good enough going forward to compensate for his defensive lapses and constantly giving the ball away.
I’d say there is enough about Sanderson to pick up as back up, seeing as though there isn’t anybody else there who can play (unless we sign the Arsenal lad)
I wouldn’t be against signing him if he’s available on a free or nominal fee
