I would see Roberts playing inside more. He ain’t got the pace for a winger but can play in v tight spaces with the right players around him.
I wouldn’t accommodate him as such. I see him coming on as sub mostly, in a more defensive 4-2-3-1 Rigg would be ahead of him in a more central role, but he may also come on to replace Adringa out wide.
Keith Downie about Lauriente: Fee agreed in principle for Laurienté to Sunderland — £17.5m. The 26-year-old will sign a 5-year contract. He’s set to travel for his medical & finalise the transfer over the weekend. This will take #SAFC spending this window to +£110m.
