Xhemajli and 2 others possibly leaving on loan https://www.sunderlandecho.com/spor...ers-are-made-available-for-loan-moves-3541353
Given the fact that we've already got rid of Younger and remembering what happened to our CB's last season, we could be short of numbers if Xhemajli goes out. I would expect a recall clause in there. We only have Wright, Flanagan, Batth and Doyle. Good to see a few of the youngsters getting game time elsewhere as part of their development.
Possibly mate, particularly in view of the fact that Wright has looked better as a full back than a CB. Having said that,I'd rather we just had a recall clause in Xhemajli's loan and concentrate on getting a midfield enforcer in.
cant see us bringing in another CM we have Evans, O9, Winesta that can play the holding role,LJ likes a smaller squad as well
Evans seems to have problems putting a run of games together. O9 is still recovering from injury and is not disciplined enough to play that role. I'd love us to sign a dominant central midfielder.
If Clarke and Defoe sign, even with a few outgoings, we'll be close to wage budget. Hope I'm wrong, but midfield enforcer may need to wait till the summer. Hume and Huggins should allow Winchester to stay in midfield.
