An optimist might speculate that he went up to Sunderland for Christmas Eve training so that he was guaranteed to be home for a decent amount of time over Christmas.

A pessimist would speculate that he’s far to good for us and that Sunderland are happy enough he could do a job for them in the league above which is probably a fair assessment.

Good read BD..but I'll give you that silver lining, he's called Elliott Whitehouse


A silver lining who probably wouldn't be available until March if all goes well.

The crux of that statement was that, to me he's not holding up the development of another player by staying, we have a natural replacement for next season in Whitehouse, as for the rest of this season, if he goes back, I honestly believe we have enough in midfield that we'd soon overcome missing him..
Got to say though, he has been a joy to watch and I can only thank him for some outstanding performances and gracing our great club with his skills

I would think after going back to Sunderland and MJ saying there is nothing to report,

Tells me he will not be staying,

Sad but they had 46,000 at their boxing day game,

So I think he will go and fight for his place there.

Doesn’t matter if they had 100k at their home game, the decision isn’t up to him and their manager has already said he wants Embleton having played 40-odd first team games.

Read earlier in the Sunderland Echo (article from November) that along with a number of other young players there, Embleton has already been offered a new contract at Sunderland.

I don’t think we can read too much into ‘there’s nothing to report’. I gather that he can’t play for any other clubs this season and given Sunderland’s excellent form I don’t envisage that he’ll be going back there to play in their first team. The Sunderland manager has said that he wants to strengthen their squad, which in this day and age, likely entails buying in players rather than promoting a young player.

Embleton is good, but I don’t think he’s quite at the top of League 1 level yet.


Up The Mariners!

I would of thought that after training with Sunderland on Monday, If he was part of Sunderlands plans he would have been asked not to play boxing day in case of injuries. Maybe I'm just looking for the optimistic view but if I was a manager with a player due to return and he was part of my match day squad plansi woukdnt want the risk of injury.

So if he cant hold a place down in a league 1 team what chance would he have going to Championship level next season? could be he is told he is surplus to requirements and no contract or a crap one offered.
Like people say he is a good player but is he championship good? i would imagine Sunderland will spen heavily to try and get back in the Prem.

Maybe he could sign for us as a building block and prove his self going up the leagues like a lot of others have, cant say his wages would be huge coming through youth level so we couldd maybe offer a Carrot.

Monkeyboy, I think it will take more than a carrot to entice him, he's not a reindeer you know.
