    Clearly we have an excellent side. If you could add one ex Sunderland player, from your time watching the lads, to add to the side and make a difference, who would it be?

    I settled on Bent. I know it was short lived but he was borderline the perfect premier league striker. And he thrived when playing the lone striker role. I think he would love playing in this side and would be close to 15 goals a season.

    I did really think Phillips. How can you leave a golden boot winner out. But I just thought Bents style of play was a better fit.

    Would like to see prime Danny Wellbeck in this side.

    It sort of feels like we need one of those players that is a figure of fun. Doesnt feel right not to have one player to argue over being ****e in the pub.

    It would have to be SKP. Fox in the box and bloody good outside of it anawl.
    I laugh at having Xhaka at the club but that’s in disbelief. :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Amad Diallo in our current set up. Would add so much threat to our attack down that right hand side.

    julio at a in his prime left back, or a marauding micky gray.


    They’re the two positions I think we are weakest - LB, RW/mid

    Steed on that right hand side would also be a great option.

    I`d love to see McFadzean in the team simply to demonstrate how far we have come...he`s "make a difference" but not in a good way!

    Dennis Tueart. Brilliant at running at defenders, a good delivery into the box and an eye for goal.
