Sunderland goalkeeper Craig Gordon could consider leaving the Stadium of Light if he cannot reclaim a first-team place.[LNB]Britain's most expensive goalkeeper, signed from Hearts by former Black Cats boss Roy Keane for £9million in 2007, has fallen behind Marton Fulop in current manager Ricky Sbragia's pland.[LNB]Gordon has also lost his place in Scotland's starting XI due to his lack of domestic action, and the shot-stopper is considering his options. [LNB]He told the News of the World: "It is the first time this has happened in my career. It is very difficult to be patient. There is frustration and anger. It is horrible just sitting there. [LNB]"It's not about ego. If your ability makes you the best, if your technique is the best, then you should be playing. I am still very confident that I can be the No.1 and I will give a good account of myself the next time I get a chance. [LNB]"But it has been a very difficult thing to face up to. I have sat in bed some nights until two or three in the morning not being able to sleep. [LNB]"I've had nights where I've not slept at all, thinking, 'what am I going to do? Who can I speak to?' There's no off switch. You just have to find a way to deal with it. [LNB]"In the dressing-room before a game is probably the hardest point. The guys are getting ready to do battle but you're not involved. [LNB]"There are definitely going to be problems at some point. I want to get back in the first team but I would eventually consider my future if it came to that. There is not a lot I can do about it right now."[LNB]
