'I love him but...' - Sunderland fans react Dion Sanderson's Wolves pledge and talk signing ex-Leeds United man

Danny Rose looks to be running down his contract at Tottenham Hotspur, having rejected several offers to terminate his current deal early after a falling out with Jose Mourinho.

His situation at Spurs has lead the former Sunderland and Newcastle United loanee to be linked with a number of Championship outfits ahead of the summer window.

With Rose available on a free soon and the Black Cats possibly back in the second-tier next season, Sunderland fans discussed the possibility of a Stadium of Light.

Here’s what you about the ex-Leeds United man on social media:

On Twitter, @Adamhutch said: “Worth asking imo if we get promoted. We need a left back.”

Terry Askew added on Facebook: “Sunderland should sign him! He done good for us.”

And Anthony Fyall said: “Danny Rose lost his desire about 5 years ago.”

Indeed, another potential summer transfer drama could involve Sunderland loanee Dion Sanderson.

The defender has been linked with £2m move to Crystal Palace and Sheffield United – with Sunderland also retaining an interest in securing his services on a permanent deal.

Sanderson, however, has reiterated his desire to break into the Wolves squad on his return to Molineux in the summer.

Amidst talk surrounding a potential move, Sanderson said: "Wolves have been my boyhood club, and it's where I see myself in the future."

Here’s what you said about the Wolves loanee defender on social media:

@SAFCSpencer: “Don’t blame him. I love him but he’s definitely premier league quality or close to it. Would be a big miss.”

@LeBenjiboo: “Meh. We'll sign someone else. Not the only decent centre half out there, remember we're absolutely minted now anarl!”

@mattysouvlaki: “Not OK.”

Asked if Sunderland should attempt to sign Sanderson during the summer window, @MalcolmPEARSO15 said: “Definitely.”

@bamgboyeolu added: “Yes I would like to see him sign permanently he’s the one that impressed me he has been brilliant and Johnson likes him as well.”

And @Philip_RJ89s concluded: “Yes. He could become the cornerstone of our defence if we could sign him permanently. He’s got it. Simple as that.”
