I know it's all transfer talk but with our current crop of players who do you expect to be better this year and who worries you? Will mannone improve or lose his number 1 slot? Cattermole a break through season? Wickham to finally become number one striker or be sold? Giacc to make a regulate first team place. What are your thoughts....
Big seasons for a lot of players, Giacc, Bridcutt, all of our strikers. Impossible to tell what will happen, but I'm certainly looking forward to finding out
Think Mannone will be fine, he's Poyets number one and should be after last years heroics.7 Cattermole is an integral part of our team, doubted by some over the last few years but ive always liked him, seemed to mature a bit towards the end of last year, possible captaincy again? Make or break for Connor, shown the world what he can do at the end of the year, would like to see him as our Number 1 Striker, give him the chance, he has goals in him. Giac needs to stamp himself on the first team now, really good sub appearances last year, always a good technical player, not convinced about him playing through the middle, but on the left he's pretty effective. Would like to see Johnno have another good season, he's my favourite player and i think he was great last year, hopefully that will continue
Giach may not be there. http://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport...inked-with-sunderland-s-giaccherini-1-6717615 If Fletcher can improve his game to how it was, that will be a major boost.
We should see an overall improvement from last season , with a settled management structure I am expecting a more considered approach to team selection etc. The final run in showed what these players are capable of and they need to maintain that level of performance from the beginning, it wont be easy, but with some decent additions and not too many injuries, safety and a cup run is well within reach. In Gus we trust aghhhhh!!!!!
I do believe jozy will get a few next year, maybe around 5-8 if 3/4 players did that id be rather happy tbh
He's said plenty times this season he wants to stay, I'd be very surprised if he wasn't here next season
