Maybe wasn't ready at the time - he's only 20 now, so perhaps he's come along in the meantime... also its possible that Sunderland may not have been interested. It's quite amazing how many big name players actually watch the youngsters at their games - when I used to officiate the Newcastle Utd u-16/17/18 youth matches on a Sunday, I'd often see Shearer, Ginola, Phillippe Albert and others on the sidelines, and sometimes chat about individual players during the half time interval. They do take notice and, when they think the time is right, they pass the info onto the club scouts etc. It's good to see home grown talent getting the opportunity, cos in my opinion there's a lot of it about.
