Ex Sunderland striker Don Goodman thinks Sunderland have two enormous midfield talents on their hands.
Don Goodman says Sunderland have two midfield ‘diamonds’ on their hands in Chris Rigg and Jobe Bellingham, and they now have the perfect coach to polish them into top players.
“He hadn't really had a regular run of games and he may well be at the start of that now and with that we'll see that confidence and self-belief grow, because we've all seen the quality that he possesses! Interest was especially strong in Jobe, with Premier League Crystal Palace willing to part with a lot of money to land the teenager.
“And then ultimately having those two or three seasons in the Bundesliga developing, maturing, then he was ready for Real Madrid… by which time he was an England regular. “I think it's an acknowledgement that the family have realised that for Jobe at the minute, regular first team football at Championship level and developing is the best thing for him. I'm absolutely sure that he got to play way more games last season than he ever thought he would be playing – he played over 40 games, last year.
“When you play for Sunderland, speaking from personal experience, when you try and explain the passion of the supporters of Sunderland, it's almost impossible to put into words.
