No matter Sunderland’s fate this season, American midfielder Lynden Gooch will be a Black Cat for a few more years to come.
The 20-year-old agreed to a new three-year deal with the English Premier League club on Thursday.
Gooch has been a member of the Black Cats since 2012, but he has only made one professional appearance for the club. He appeared in an English League Cup match against Exeter City on Aug. 25, 2015, helping his side earn a 6-3 win.
He was sent out on loan to English League One side Doncaster Rovers in January, and he started in seven of his 10 appearances for the club. His last appearance came on March 12.
Sunderland is currently in a relegation battle in the EPL, but it is only one point from safety with a game in hand on Norwich City in 17th place.
What do you think of Gooch’s new contract with Sunderland? What are you expecting from him in 2016 and beyond?

Tottenham keep Yedlin, and he gets games, because they’re going to be in 4 competitions.
good news ussoccer go to the top
Hm. If the black cats drop down to the litter box does Yedlin move on? Guesses?
Yedlin probably moves on either way as he is only on loan, though it’s tough to see a spot in Spurs lineup right now.
Good work Gooch!!!
Relegation might actually help him get minutes.
I was thinking the same thing. Borini and Defoe would be gone the next day leaving some spots open for competition. I could see watmore getting bought and khazri leaving as well. Surely a fire sale could lead to more potential minutes. Im cool with that, set gooch up with a 3-year-arc of leading Sunderland back to the EPL lol
Set up an 20 year old who hasn’t been proven in any league on a 3-yea-arc to lead the club through the toughest promotion on the planet? If that happens I’ll tattoo the word gooch on my own.

I can’t unread that.
I think you missed the LOL
Start him for the NT right guys?!?! Right?! …. Guys?….
I agree with a lot of your posts, but this shtick gets a bit tiresome. It is as bad the people you are mocking… just my .02.
That’s quite certainly the point. My annoying comment is SUPPOSED to mockingly point out how silly it is for people to say “start player X” after one good moment….
Thus I present you with a question: who is worse, the guy sarcastically mocking silly people or the silly people making the illogical statement?…….
Is john Stewart annoying for mocking political morons or are those morons the real problem?
