I hope I'm wrong but I struggle to see how he could turn down a 2 year deal at Sunderland to join us. I wonder if he's used our interest as a way of trying to improve his deal and get some guarantees from Sunderland.

I agree. And I don't blame him if he has.

Great to have him here last season and it gets us a reputation for playing and developing players like this. But I can't imagine we're seriously in the frame.

Supposedly turned down because he believes he wouldn't get first team football there. I can't see him coming to Town, the ONLY chance he could is Jolley trying to sell him the idea of us 'going for it' this season and attempting promotion. Maybe even a one year deal could tempt him. But I highly doubt it, can all hope I suppose.

Wouldn't we have to pay compensation as he's under 23? Not sure we'd go for a one-year contract if paying compensation.

Ah yeah quite possibly. I believe he would only come here if we thought we could get promoted to L1.

Similar situation to when Scunny signed Martin Paterson. They ended up paying 400k at tribunal, but he scored plenty for them and sold for a profit.
To seriously try and get Embleton would be a risky and ambitious move that the current board are not capable of.

Not one that any future board would be capable of either I suspect

The thing is that Sunderland have a load of midfielders many of whom are likely to be ahead of Embleton this season - Leadbitter, Cattermole, Ethan Robson, Honeyman, McGeady, Gooch and O'Nien for example. Their best approach might be to loan him out to a side in League 2 just to keep him for the longer term.

A bit of an embarrassment of riches for them to handle

Embleton has offers from the Championship and SPL. He’s not coming here, although I wish he would!
