    We are competing with a lot of established prem teams for players, and that tells me we are at least shopping in the right market

    Watson played 22 times for us in the championship. That's it. 22 senior appearance. We sold him for 9 million plus add-ons (and a sell on clause I guess ). Nothing guarantees he'll make it in the premier League or will make an instant impact.

    We're paying 18 plus add-on for 60 premier league appearances, across 2 seasons and a player that arsenal were quoted 50m for last summer.

    Every signing is a risk, but I'm happy with this one

    By the end of this summer there's a chance you might have to go to Afcon itself to watch the Sunderland first team play.

    Yeah I'll keep banging that drum that although a lot of these players are raw this is exactly what Regis does

    Great on the left poor on the right seems to be the general consensus from them, Regis will sort that out

    He has all the attributes to be dangerous.

    he might be a player that needs to be loved and be the main man, he was in and out the team at Brighton because of mitoma

    Yeah this one I don't think is a versatile attacking option, just straight up first choice LW

    100% once adingra is the main man, he’ll thrive

    Can you expand on this a bit, I feel like having 5 wingers, and typically you can only field 2 unless you're playing a third one more centrally or as a striker etc is a lot for a club like ours to manage, do you see someone being sold or you think we'll plan for the season with 5 wingers? Honest question, just curious what you think.

    Someone (may have been you) mentioned him the other week and I've been watching his highlights. Looks like the midfielder we have been crying out for years for
    Tall box to box ball winner. Also has a magnificent Bracewell turn

    The Keith face turn from Saudi sympathiser to massive lads fan is great to see. Hope it gets stronger throughout the summer

    It does get slightly overlooked that RLB is a very good coach especially when it comes to getting players to do their defensive work. I remain a big fan of all our signings at the moment. Just don't sign Brewster please. I spent all last season making fun of him and don't think I can make people forget that quickly.

    Think 5 wingers for the season being:
    Roberts
    Mundle
    Tabli
    Adingra
    RW

    Would want 3 natural wingers during afcon anyway and these type of explosive wide players are prone to injury so need serious depth.

    We won't sell Mundle, obviously won't sell Talbi or Adingra and then Roberts is probably the only proper natural right winger so for balance and quality in depth we will imo sign a starting right winger to ensure we aren't playing players out of position yet again.

    It’s genuinely quite impressive to find 5 good signings and them all be going to AFCON

    I do wonder if there’s any sort of agreement or understanding with any of them that they won’t go
