went with xhaka as he is pretty much the glue in the team, he keeps them all together while not wanting to be 'the headline' but cannot wait for his first goal. really can not choose between them to be honest but i feel he just shades it.
Xhaka for me, that was a statement signing. A player like that doesn't sign for a newly promoted club unless we mean business.
Xhaka because he feels like a more important signing than the player itself. The two centre backs and potentially the keeper close behind.
Xhaka is the obvious one for all the reasons above. I've voted for Le Fee though as a nod to his quality - stepped the team up a couple of skill levels and just has magic in his feet.
talksport sport were saying yesterday that other than the blunder against Villa, Roefs has been the stand out keeper. And I'm sure I heard Walcott say everyone was "angry" when Granit came to Sunderland on match of the day 2 the other night. Big Sam hit the nail on the head when he Said that because when newly promoted teams have been ****e and went straight back down, the West Hams of the world have seemingly thought "ah, we'll be fine". Sam said Burnley Leeds and especially Sunderland have shown better recruitment and up to now its showing. Personally I'm glad we could possibly play a part in one of the stale teams that just hang around like a bad smell in the Premier league for years getting away with being ****e because the newer teams haven't been equipped enough, drop out the leauge..Long way to go, but when pundits are saying that we don't look out of place, it's looking good. Oh, and no new signing still haven't scored for us. Pathetic.... lol
I've thought the same tbh, you saw it last season with Spurs in 17th and Man Utd in 15th but being easily safe by March. Some of these teams, notably West Ham, Brentford and Wolves look complacent, like they don't need to be that good to stay up comfortably. Well it looks like it might be different this season.
