    I think you would be proved completely wrong. How was our record against lowly Harrogate last season?
    Diamond would do just fine here as the standard of opposition is clearly the level he is at. To suggest he wouldn’t do well here because we are such a “massive” club is hilarious.

    As I've said, if he did sign for us I would love to be proved wrong. Some players perform better in front of smaller crowds, it's nothing more than a hunch but I think Diamond is one of those players.

    I also think Diamond would do a great job here, watching him last season reminded me of Robbie Blake when running at our defence.

    That's exacly the type of player we needed against Doncaster when they parked the bus second half.

    I’m playing devils advocate here but Harrogate only ever seemed to turn up against us. Could be a wildly inconsistent player ?

    They got 53 points and the same amount of wins as us last season.

    Sunderland fans seem to think Diamond is leaving on loan, but to Portsmouth. Pompey have lost two wingers this summer and haven't replaced either yet. Apparently Northampton wanted him at the start of the window but Sunderland didn't want to let him leave until they have some recruits in.

    I know a few Sunderland fans and I asked about Diamond as I thought we might be in for him. He was given a chance by Alex Neil in pre season but I think the general feeling is that he isnt up to it at Champsionship level. They wanted him to do well there as hes been at the club since he was 14 and did look a good prospect.

    I was chanting to one this morning too at work, first time I've seen the bloke in the office since Covid. He said he went to our friendly and no Sunderland fan around him sounded impressed with any of them but Diamond was singled out for some reason. Neil had been playing Diamond as a striker all pre season it seems? Sounding like he'll be a local lad the team will just outgrow faster than he will progress.

    This is the thing that’s puzzled me…. They have given him a go , fair comment, but leading the line , isn’t his position in the two times I have seen him so far. I know they are short of forwards but nevertheless. Strange?

    I'm surprised they are considering sending him out on loan again, would this be the 3rd or 4th season?

    I would have thought they had sussed out now that he isn't good enough to be playing in the Championship, and just now be open to offers of a permanent signing

    He's under contract for another 2 seasons, so this year development wise is a free hit for them. A good year in L1 on loan will give him a better chance next season in his contract year. Buying out 2 years of a deal but the inflated fee due to his age might put the fee a bit too high for most L1/2 clubs.

    He might be. Not sure Harrogate have the financial clout either.

    A bit like " we are going up I said we are going up" to different word of course maybe "we will meet our targets we will sell our stock".
