A lot of Sunderland fans have reacted negatively on Twitter to the latest update on Denver Hume’s contract situation.
Hume had been with Sunderland all the way through their youth ranks and Lee Johnson appears to think progress is slowly being made on a new deal.
Will Sunderland earn promotion this season?
Yes!
No!
The 22-year old’s contract at The Stadium of Light expired on June 30th with both parties still unable to agree on a new deal for the defender.
A whole host of Sunderland fans have taken to Twitter to show their displeasure at Hume still not signing a new deal.
What have these Sunderland fans had to say?
“He’s too weak and inconsistent, even at this level, no end product, dunno why people rave about him so much.”
“Backed the lad through his long injuries now his messing about. He can leave for all I care.”
“Absolute joke. Clearly have no money”
“Tell him to go, never consistently fit and when he is he is average at best!”
“Withdraw the offer and move on”
“If he doesn’t want to be there, then the lad can go.”
“Tell him to take a hike.”
Sunderland’s transfer business has gone rather under the radar, with the club adding Alex Pritchard, Callum Doyle and two others to a squad that reached the play-offs last season.
Hume made 24 league appearances for the Black Cats last season and Johnson may be wanting to keep a familiar face around the club as well as improving the squad to push for promotion next season.
