Henderson's experience? Another Le Fee? Fans on replacing Bellingham
We asked for your views on what the impact of Jobe Bellingham's transfer will be, and how you would like the money reinvested at are some of your comments:Freddie: I would love to see another Enzo le Fee type name linked. Ardon Jashari from Club Brugge or Mohamed Camara from Monaco would be excellent business, sticking to our model of buying young and selling It was inevitable Jobe would move on and his comments today show maturity beyond his years. Best wishes to you and your family, I don't see Sunderland rushing through any deals. I'd much prefer them to secure the right players at the right price. Jordan Henderson would be a great addition, with experience, but not if he is demanding silly wages. I do believe some of our current players will step up a level so a handful of new additions with experience would be great to Good luck to Jobe. He wants to play at the highest level in the Champions League and we have got a fair price, which I hope will be used to improve the squad!Graeme: Huge loss to Sunderland, but have total faith in club with replenishing the squad. Best wishes to Jobe (the adopted Mackem)!

Sunderland must 'strengthen' but need 'more than one window'
We asked for your views on whether Sunderland need to act urgently in the transfer market, with the first of two windows this summer closing at 19:00 BST on are some of your comments:Craig: We need to use this first window to get the players we don't want out and then use the second window to Hopefully we can get a couple of experienced players, like Jordan Henderson, in at some stage. Then we can add a few quality players, either from the Championship or with Premier League experience, but I don't think we need to break the It will take more than one transfer window to complete a Premier League squad, I'm afraid. Priorities must be a top left-back, more pace and sharpness in midfield, and a different type of striker to the two we have. It's important to continue with the current recruitment model, but the addition of some sensible Henderson-like experience wouldn't go amiss. Unfortunately, it's arguable whether any of the promotion-winning squad are currently of Premier League quality but hopefully some can make the step up. I would take a fourth-bottom finish Obviously we need to strengthen the squad, while also retaining as many of our talented youth prospects as possible. We need an experienced Premier League striker, a holding midfielder and some central defenders.

Thomas Tuchel has already revealed his blueprint for England at the World Cup... but who have Mail Sport's experts picked in their squads a year out from the tournament?
In signing an 18-month contract, Thomas Tuchel is acutely aware of the his assignment as England manager. The German is not here for a long time and on the evidence of his first three matches in charge, definitely not a fun time. The former Chelsea boss is tasked with finally ending the country's wait for the ultimate prize in international football. Nothing else will do. With that aim in mind, his squad selections have certainly raised a few eyebrows, as the likes of Jordan Henderson and Ivan Toney have been brought back in from the cold and a host of young Lions have been left waiting for their chance to impress the combustable coach. England's drab 1-0 win over Andorra last weekend did little to quiet the dissenting voices that were turned off by the mere prospect of a German leading the English national team. However unfair those criticisms may have been, after their friendly against Senegal on Tuesday, the World Cup will be just 366 days away and there has been precious little to prove the Three Lions are close to being ready. Here, our Mail Sport experts Danny Murphy, Chris Sutton and Martin Keown pick the squads they want to see boarding the plane to United States, Canada and Mexico in a years time. Danny Murphy Goalkeepers: Pickford, Trafford, Beadle Defenders: Alexander-Arnold, James, Konsa, Guehi, Branthwaite, Colwill, Lewis-Skelly Midfielders: Rice, Wharton, Jones, Bellingham, Palmer, Gallagher, Foden, Gibbs-White Forwards: Kane, Delap, Saka, Bowen, Gordon, Rogers, Rashford, Watkins England need a dynamic and balanced squad to have a successful World Cup. With Harry Kane our main centre forward, it's essential he has quick and direct runners either side, namely Bukayo Saka, Jarrod Bowen, Anthony Gordon and Marcus Rashford. Phil Foden goes as a No 10 or not at all and has Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers ahead of him, although he is worth taking if the final squad size is 26 rather than 23. Liam Delap's move to Chelsea boosts his bid as it gives him Champions League football. The other aspect is squad balance. When you face a Spain or France, where possession will be scarce, Conor Gallagher's pressing is a fantastic option. Similarly, while there is a lot of competition at centre back, Levi Colwill's ability to also play at left back gives him an edge. Chris Sutton Goalkeepers: Pickford, Henderson, Pope Defenders: Alexander-Arnold, James, Guehi, Colwill, Konsa, Burn, Branthwaite, Lewis-Skelly, Hall Midfielders: Bellingham, Rice, Foden, Wharton, Jones, Gibbs-White Forwards: Saka, Kane, Palmer, Eze, Watkins, Madueke, Solanke, Rogers I have had to make big decisions over the Manchester City trio John Stones, Kyle Walker and Jack Grealish, plus trusted members of Gareth Southgate's squads Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Jordan Henderson. All of them fail to make the cut as I prefer younger blood who are thriving now. Stones has not been fit recently and Thomas Tuchel seems to like Dan Burn, so I am picking him. Ezri Konsa has to be in and young Jarrad Branthwaite has impressed at Everton. The same goes for why Trent Alexander-Arnold and Reece James get the nod over Walker. Grealish is out of form, while Marcus Rashford had a decent loan at Aston Villa — but name one player in my attack he deserves to be in ahead of. Adam Wharton gets in ahead of Henderson and I like the look of Noni Madueke. Martin Keown Goalkeepers: Pickford, Henderson, Ramsdale Defenders: Maguire, Alexander- Arnold, Konsa, Guehi, Stones, Lewis- Skelly, Colwill, Walker, Livramento Midfielders: Rice, Jones, Gallagher, Bellingham, Palmer, Rogers, Foden, Eze Forwards: Saka, Gordon, Madueke, Kane, Watkins, Toney Thomas Tuchel's blueprint is to create an extra man in midfield with a full back moving into the space. On the left, Myles Lewis-Skelly has answered some of his prayers with this. That allows midfielders like Curtis Jones, Jude Bellingham or Morgan Rogers to move into pockets in the final third. Jones is under pressure for his place, but I like his intelligence. Reece James' talent is beyond question, but I have reservations about his fitness. I've gone with Tino Livramento, who can play on both sides. Harry Maguire and John Stones have had injury concerns, too, while Kyle Walker may not play for his club next season, but I'd gamble on their experience. I think England have enough experience without Jordan Henderson, though. Youngsters like Liam Delap, Adam Wharton, Ethan Nwanieri and Josh Hinshelwood could come into the mix if they have good seasons.

By 'club' I mean not only the playing part, but everything in general in the whole system. 'I believe that starting from scratch is the best thing for a club that needs restructuring and a change in culture. The club tries to save on absolutely everything, but it has always been like this during my time with the team, and unfortunately, this has led to the result that we are seeing.
