I genuinely think the club is finally moving in the right direction in terms of recruitment and deals. well done KLD and KS.
I was about to say, some of the talent that has come through Le Havre is frightening, but we haven't done too well out of them in the past! Didn't want to put a negative spin on it though.
Well I don't know about anyone else but being linked and securing the services of these type of players is certainly more fun than the run of the mill journeyman we used to be linked with.
Interesting read about their academy. Seems a pretty strict routine. https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...ub-world-class-footballers-pogba-mahrez-payet
Reading up on michut, apparently had a falling out with new psg manager in July. Was told to train with the development team, but not happy about it as all last season he was with the 1st team. Makes a bit more sense in that light how we've managed to get him. Both of these players are types of signings I'd expect from top championship sides, or even bottom half premier League. Also Shows why the DoF model is a good one when working properly. If it was manager calling the transfer shots, these deals would have been scuppered when the manager left.
Potentially exciting signings! I hope these young lads,totally outside of their normal habitat,are able to settle. On that point,what routines do the club have in place to integrate these lads into life in Sunderland? Anyone? Assuming they don't just book them into the Hilton and leave them?
Agree on the recruitment front. Never been part of my complaint to be fair. Also, Harvey needs big credit.
Great stuff mate, looks like we’re in for an educating couple of days. Hopefully get 3 points tonight as well and the last week will be forgotten about.
