I am of the opinion we need another out and out number 9. Not convinced we have the necessary goal threat yet for the prem. Mayenda I have high hopes for. I think he is a real threat. I dont think Isidor will find life easy in the prem and think he is too easy to bully tbh. Prem centre backa wont be worried by him enough imo. Abdullahi looks raw so far. Mikautadze who we were linked with heavily earlier in the window from France is still the best player we have been linked with in my opinion. Lyon staying up probably scuppers that, but hopeful the club still wanting to find someone to help Mayenda.
Maybe try to get the best loan striker we can. Character and personality are hugely important to us so that's a big factor, whether we loan or buy.
Spot on, I have concerns over Isidor. He has lightening pace and that will cause defences problems but his hold up and link up play wasn't of the quality needed last season. I want someone who can bring others into play, I think Mayenda is getting good at this but be good to have another similar Abdullahi I'm still unsure on but thats more now to the clubs plans - do we have money ti sign a striker as well as our other needs. I want him to go and play week in week out so I'm definitely leaning more towards getting him a good loan move to learn how to play week in week out
Seems our signings aren’t just impressing us. https://x.com/_befootball/status/1946946360260902978?s=61 We’re throwing down a challenge: give us 5 bold predictions for the 2025-2026 season. Here are ours: ▫️ Sunderland will qualify for European competition ▫️ Lens in the top 5 of Ligue 1 ▫️ PSG wins back-to-back Champions League ▫️ Algeria reaches the World Cup round of 16 ▫️ Third star for France
Think if Trafford goes to City and starts as their number one in the Premier League, Pickford might be under real threat for his world cup place.
That’ll be another good signing for Huddersfield. I expect them to be right up there competing for promotion
I would hazard a guess that if he starts at City he could pretty quickly develop and build the confidence that sees him displace Pickford with 2/3 years. Pickford's very good but I don't think he has ever looked quite like hitting that world class bracket.
Hi Everyone. Most on this thread will know there’s a few of us here who like stats and data and scouting of footballers and often provide our tactical opinion on players linked or suggest players to look at. we’ve decided to put together a page on x where we will be bumping heads to put data together and provide more info to the general Sunderland fan who wants to learn more or to those who maybe haven’t seen or heard of a player we’re linked with. As well as just being a general Sunderland fan page if anyone’s interested in taking a look the links are below. credit to @CR17 for some stellar graphic work on the banner and his friend for making our logo
