If we signed 2 of Singo, Sagnan, and Kipre (all linked) we'd potentially have our current back 4 for those 8 games. That can't happen.
The enormous fee transfers don't often work out but I do think Wirtz will. He is unbelievably good. Liverpool will honestly be a joy to watch this season if it all works out as planned. Might have to watch through my hands when they come to the SoL though.
Can’t say I’ve ever seen Wirtz play but by reputation alone I’m excited to see him in the premier league
Yeah, I would just expect it to be honest. Very little meaning in these relationships nowadays, they are very transactional. We were always a stepping stone for the lad and that worked out beautifully for both parties but now it is absolutely done and gone and forgotten. Loved him while he was here but now he's just another player who doesn't play for Sunderland.
Even with those signings our best back four might be Hume, Ballard, Alese, Cirkin. We can’t avoid players that improve us for 75% of the season because they might not be available for a few weeks.
Subtly but completely different positions mind. That graphic has been created to make Rudoni look better. I’d like to see the same graphic but with things like “duals won”
He’s class but it’s disgusting and immoral when families can’t afford their dinner never mind watch the game
