He's some player still FT. It will help everyone. As did Waddle, who came a bit too late to save us. To me he resembles an old fashioned midfielder. A lot is said now about holding guys, ones who attack, this one doing a bit in the middle and so on. But as you know, not that long ago, midfields had two players in there, and they had to do a bit ( actually a lot!) of everything. He isn't Keane, or Robson or Bell , but I've always seen him as that type. He always seems to be there when you need him, defending, passing, making, even sometimes scoring. I wouldn't know where to start looking, but I'd bet those coloured charts they have now show this!
Never known so much positivity on here about a signing. Hopefully any other players we're looking at will be busting a gut to want to be a part of what KLD et al have planned. West Ham game can't come quick enough!
Is this the most impressive signing we’ve made in living memory? I’m struggling to think of a better one.
Only Gyan I can think of that’s even close, but we were already a PL team when that happened. I’d say yes given his stature in game, where he’s come from and where we’ve been.

Anyone know if he's any good? @PesindeyizApp While many clubs, including West Ham United, Aston Villa, and RB Leipzig, are closely monitoring Barış Alper Yılmaz, the most serious interest has come from Premier League club Sunderland. (HT Spor)
I don't think Keith understands how KLD works, there's no way we just throw money at things now. I think he's been covering the mags for too long.
'So, what experience do you have at air traffic controlling, what makes me want to hire you?' 'I spend the entire transfer window on FlightRadar' 'Your hired!'
Xhaka really wanted to come to Sunderland didn't he ... ... his presence will persuade at least one more top player to come here. It's funny that you get a totally different answer if you search a dozen 'journalists' for the fee and add-ons, etc. Happily I couldn't care less, not my money.
