He seems to have gone missing - as far as I can see not even on the bench since being an unused sub against Bolton. Is Danny Cowley suffering from buyer's remorse and decided he's not what we need, has Denver been a naughty boy in some way, or is he just injured? Any one know (apart from Cowley and Hume, one assumes)? Spotting a Hume on Sunderland's team-sheet on Tuesday I did briefly wonder if he'd slipped back there unnoticed, but I do realise they have a second Hume.

Injured, back problem apparently

Ah, thanks.  Hope it's not to serious.

My Sunderland supporting neighbour rates him highly.

he does seem the sort of signing we could build an improving team around. Like Ragget was when we signed him? Or Clark, and several others.

As much as Raggett has improved, I wouldn't class him or Hume in the same exciting "sky's the limit" category as Clarke. You just knew from day 1 he was going places.

Hume & Raggett will be a long bumpy road of improvement. And there's nothing wrong with that.

I would put Carter into the Clarke category. It's just so obvious that he has oodles of ability and just needs a bit of guidance with what to do with it. It would be a miracle if we could hold on to him for next season. I would value him at 1M today, easily.
