Logan Pye

[KM]

16yr old Sunderland left back, we've apparently signed him after giving him a 5yr contract. The likes of Arsenal, Chelsea were also interested in him.

Anybody know if he has joined us for sure?

How can we sign 16 year old on a 5 year contract? Isn't the first pro contract for 2 years only and that's the maximum allowed.

Probably something like we do with our imported youngsters, sign them to a youth contract with a guaranteed pro contract.

Guarantee four year deal after turning pro I think.

 

[KM]

Anyway I've had a look around and looks like he has already signed for us

Pye in the sky

He can also play in midfield so is a versatile player. Sunderland have been excellent at u15 level in the last couple of years and have actually won big titles with the group until the four biggest talents got snapped up by United, Leeds, Liverpool and Arsenal.

I don't think he's a LB by the way. From what i've seen he has been deployed as a CB and at DM.

7 of his 9 starts in the league this season has been as a LB. As well as all his U16 caps for England.

I haven't seen him this season but at u15 he played at DM and CB in the odd few games I watched him in. Sunderland fans also say he's a CB/DM.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Make a great pairing with Will Fish.

He can obviously play at LB too if he's been deployed their this season. It would be great to have a a super talented multi functional player but I hope he eventually settles into a regular role.

And with Will Mash

Sunderland U18 manager Paul Bryson refers to him as a left-back, also the 3 starts last spring for Sunderland U18 and equally 3 starts for England U16 in the 2018/19 season were as a LB. It’s brilliant if he’s versatile though, always a huge plus for a young player.

 

[Adnan]

Sunderland u18s have lost every game they've played in the league this season and lost 10-0 to Everton and 7-0 to City. He must be very talented to shine in such a bad team.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

And with Will Mash

I suppose Patrick Berger would fit in nicely.

Tony Currie in midfield

 

[Robbo*]

Will he go straight into U18s?

 

[top1whoisman]

Will he go straight into U18s?

Turns 17 in October so I assume he would.

 

[Mark Pawelek]

Can't find anything saying Logan Pye signed for United but a lot a articles saying he will. Can he sign outside the transfer window?

 

[top1whoisman]

Hope he stays fit and has a good career.

Probably one of the most Burnley looking players you're ever going to see.

Forgot he existed. Where’s he been hiding over the last few years?

Haha, he looks so Burnley.

We thought he would become a good player for us but it was all Pye in the sky.

 

[Ace of Spades]

Good luck to him.

 

[TwoSheds]

Was there a fee involved or just a free transfer?

 

[top1whoisman]

Was there a fee involved or just a free transfer?

Best case scenario probably a large sell-on% and maybe a few hundred thousand quid if he ever plays for their first team.
