Re: Deadline Day

So today Sunderland have signed:

Bertrand Traoré
Brian Brobbey
Lutsharel Geertruida

That's on top of the £150m they already spent.

It would be hilarious if they get relegated. Probably down for 10+ years due to the points deductions.

Just dont see Scott dropping Cullen-he offers too much and to date been one of our most consistent. He is also one of the best passers in the team

So the position big Les is playing then. But Big Les seems very strong going forwards, so perhaps bringing in Luis will allow him to go further up the field?

Good goal that. Ramsey with the sharp, incisive forward pass to Barnes who dropped into space, first time lay off to Tresor who sees a line breaking run and executes the perfectly weighted pass, with probably his first touch.
It was his 4th touch, I was counting. Real quality vision and pass.
