    After yesterday's performance I would still like to see some defensive options coming in!

    20 Million euros is the rumored fee for Osvaldo. About £17 Million.

    We tightened up in defence towards the end of the season...we mustn't judge too much on one friendly. The worrying thing is if we are trying to settle Lovren and Chambers in at the same time, because of the possible loss of Shaw and Clyne. Hopefully, at least Clyne will be back for WBA.

    Quagliarella has accepted a loan move to Sunderland.

    Far, far too many buys by Sunderland this transfer window. Over the top if you ask me. Reckon they'll struggle.

    -----------Fletcher
    Giaccherini Sessegnon Quagliarella

    I think they'll definitely do better than last season with that, but thankfully we play them before they've probably had a chance to gel.

    Sunderland spent tens of millions every summer, get a good few players in and still struggle most seasons. I thought last season would be a good one but nope, i have them down to struggle again

    Not so sure...PDC is building almost a completely new team...win or bust.

    Definitely not this season's QPR.

    I think they'll do poorly this season, the calibre of the signings is impressive but I think Di Canio will struggle to blend them all together. I really do not rate him.

    Well the players certainly won't be as apathetic as QPR were, with Di Canio as manager. I think they'll be down there early on, but will improve as the season goes on. If I were to compare them to any team last year it'd be Villa

    He did well at Swindon, but the premier league is not as forgiving. I think they'll be ok this season.

    Can't compare them to QPR as they bought a new team for three transfer windows in a row

    Giaccherini is impressive, Quagliarella could go either way, I'm not that impressed by any of the others to be honest.

    I think there´s a lot of pressure on Mannone.
    Mignolet has earned them 6-7 extra points every year lately IMO.

    If Quagliarella signs, it's 13.
