    Our fans adamant he's a wing back.

    Sunderland fans adamant he's a midfielder.

    Me personally I would say he's a midfielder, but over rated by many

    Sunderland saw him as a holding midfielder apparently?

    Yeah I noticed they reckon he was bought as a holding midfielder.

    Maybe he’s just peaked too early and is going to drop down the leagues?

    Hard to know what’s happened behind the scenes, but in terms of football we have invested in him and given him his chance.

    Disappointing that he wouldn’t want to get his career on track by helping his parent club in a promotion push.

    He’s not a holding midfielder, his tackling skills are on par with Paul Scholes.

    It sounds like Sunderland don’t really know who they’ve loaned. He’s been tried in about 5 different positions already.

    Can't say I'm shocked at all over rated.

    I'd have preferred Styles to come on against Bolton rather than Cotter tbh.

    Not one bit shocked. He’s never looked decent at league one level this season and last so no suprise he’s not doing it a division above.

    Honestly hope he doesn’t have to return to Oakwell unless with another team.

    Absolutely in our interest that he does well there, and for that reason I really want him to. However like pretty much everyone else, not one bit surprised at how things are going so far. He was poor for us in League 1, so it's hardly surprising he's towin in Champ. Yet again, no one seems to be able to agree on his best position.

    Whether they can agree on his best position or not, his best position is not in a good championship team because he just isn’t good enough. I hope am wrong for his sake but wouldn’t surprise me if his euros selection is in doubt following his poor league form with both them and us. For me he should have knuckled down and shown commitment with us instead of seeming to be disinterested in our side. Been mentioned loads of times on here, but he got dillusioned into thinking he was better than he his.

    I said before he went I'd take 500k and a sell on. I'd imagine he's one of the highest earners here and the club want him off the wage bill as much as he wants to move to the championship. I hope he does well and a team comes in for him but I just can't see it. Although he did only come on as sub with 19 minutes left yesterday.

    We will probably end up giving him away just to get the wages off the books.

    With the ***** l witnessed yesterday I'd drive him back, I'd even put him wrong footed at RWB in place of Williams. Excuses were used for him being out of position, he's still making the same errors in his right position.

    I don't want him to wear a Barnsley shirt again.
    He did it last season and now this one where he thinks he's better than he actually is and thinks he's better than Barnsley FC.
    International call up went to his head

    I'd be happy to still have him as our player going into the Euros, 1 decent game and he won't be too difficult to sell

    His "best" position on the football manager games is as a ball winning midfielder apparently.

    Maybe Sunderland's scouts are just massive FM nerds

    Difficult one is young Callum he hasn't for me got a best position he's ok in couple but that's all. Be interesting to see him at Euros when I presume is attitude is spot on and where exactly he plays for Hungary. When he played for us I couldn't help thinking go and play as good as you think you are.

    He's played RWB / RM for Sunderland (with a back 3)
