We requested on your views on whether or not Sunderland are prepared for the brand new season.
Listed below are a few of your feedback:
Martin: The membership are critical in regards to the infrastructure in addition to making high-class signings. We have come a great distance from the mismanaged membership that acquired relegated from the Premier League in 2017. Have we acquired what it takes to remain up? Time will inform, however at the very least we’re giving it a go. Haway the lads!

Stu: Sunderland will probably be aggressive this season and the brand new additions which have come have added additional high quality and, extra importantly, vitality and physicality. The core of the squad (15/16 gamers) when everyone seems to be match seems succesful. Beneath that there are gaps. An additional two or three signings could be welcome to provide Regis Lle Bris the depth wanted, particularly over the winter. There may be additionally the lifeless wooden that wants transferring on and count on that to be sorted quickly. All constructive and searching ahead to the season.
Matt: The switch enterprise we have seen thus far this summer season has taken us all without warning in the absolute best manner. The calibre of gamers we have managed to draw to the membership – usually within the face of direct competitors from Premier League rivals – has been spectacular. I feel we’re simply two signings away from having a squad actually able to staying up. We want extra cowl for left wing and we want a confirmed striker to bolster our choices. Guiu seems like he may very well be a great signing, however we want another choice in case he does not make the grade or will get injured. I would desire an enormous cash signing for a participant of their prime with Premier League or top-level credentials, however I would even be pleased with somebody like Jamie Vardy or Dominic Calvert-Lewin if the funds aren’t obtainable for that. The gamers will all want time to gel with each other, in fact, however I am optimistic about how the season may pan out.
Glyn: A number of new gamers signed, some from non-competitive leagues. Why did not we signal Kyle Walker (skilled and less expensive than Xhaka). Additionally why did Henderson select ? Who’s going to guide and encourage the membership after we’ve acquired two factors after 5 – 6 video games. Additionally, what number of gamers are we’re going to lose to Afcon? Sorry for the negativity – I do trust in Le Bris however the place will we get the 36 factors to remain up?
Oliver: It has been a really promising window with some thrilling soccer having been performed in pre-season. It is probably the most prepared Sunderland have been for years to compete within the Premier League.
