Top flight players

Osula and Jebbison both got moves to PL clubs. Suggesting that both were deemed 'good enough' at the time. I'd argue that Seriki, Peck, Blaster (24/25) and Brooks are better than both. Different positions yes, but we're actually seeing players playing the mans game, to a high level, in that group. Did we see that with Osula and Jebbo? Not consistently, no. And yet, they got moves to organisations that saw something that equated to PL standard/potential.

We have talent, and PL teams will absolutely be sniffing.

I think it was interesting that there were 2 sunderland players on the pitch yesterday (alan browne for boro and Hjelde for us).

It seems nowadays you need a squad to get you out of the championship and a different squad to keep you in the prem.

I don't know if off by heart but I don't recognise a lot of sunderland players this year from their line up last year...

15 incomings in the summer, plus a further 3 in January definitely helps but it is a completely different side and if you can offload some on loan, if it doesn't work out and you end up going down, you still can sell a few to stabilise the books and bring back the Championship players that have had 6 months- a year of Championship experience.
