Now he’s had a little time, it’s worth revisiting Martin Jol’s summer words about Brian Brobbey.
“Probably the best buy of the summer. Sunderland have done well.
“You have to buy them when they’re bad – that’s what I’ve learned. You have to buy good players when they’re £20m. Otherwise, he would’ve been £50m or £60m.
“Look at his goal record. He’s young, he still scored 50 goals in 140 matches. He won’t score one in two, but you’re still a good striker if you score one in three.
“I think there’s a lot of quality in this guy and he’s a good boy. He’s not arrogant and he wants to learn.
“He’s strong as a horse, he’s not great in the air, but he’s an unbelievable anchor man. You can give him the ball and he can hold it up. I think he’ll do well.” #SAFC
