    Never heard of Baradji until 10 minutes ago. Quick YouTube and he looks like he's got the exact attributes we need. Pace and power.

    Massive step up in quality but if we bring him in to fill out the squad, ie replace Browne and Samed, that's fine by me.

    Sunderland are in talks with Sassuolo over Armand Lauriente.

    Journalist followed by Romano

    Lauriente used to play for Lorient B under RLB

    Right footed left winger. Very quick. 26 years old

    Adama Traoré fast a foock, no end product most of the time. Nicky Summerbee, beat players with skill and pin point delivery.

    Pace and power is required in the PL

    Adama Traore would also walk into our side with absolute ease, poor example.

    Virtually impossible to stop despite having only one move.

    Not interested in going past two defenders or cutting inside for a shot …

    … just the same predictable cross almost every time.

    Defenders knew exactly what he’d do but couldn’t stop him <laugh>

    Sunderland #SAFC looking for reinforcements for the outside lanes. Among the options being considered is also that linked to #Angelino of #Roma

    But no pace. It was skill.

    Why would he? Does he fit our style of play? No.
    He's played for Barcelona with some of the best players in the world and his fantastic pace and strength didn't set the world alight.

    Poor example, No.

    Some of the best players in world never had pace and strength. Zidane, Figo, Messi, Valdarama, Pirlo, Beckham, Best, Gascoigne, Keane, Viera, Cantona, Toure, Quinn, O'Shea, Vidic, Campbell, Shearer, Rooney, Petite. The list goes on.

    Swapped Russell for him didn't we?
    One of the best swaps, up there with Altidore and Defoe

    He’s better than what we’ve got, for starters. You’re naive if you believe pace and power isn’t required in the PL these days.
