Roy Keane is back in the EPL! But this time as a manager.
In the past 2 attempts at the Big League, Sunderland did so badly they probably make Watford look like Overachievers last year.
Which team that just got themselves promoted to the Premiership spends 27million pounds on players, including 9 million pounds on a Scottish keeper?
Craig Gordon. A classy keeper, quality, reliable. But 9 million? Why not just try loan Scott Carson or someone else for the season?
Other players includes Michael Chopra, Dickson Etuhu, Greg Halford, Paul McShane and Kieran Richardson. Not exactly the star lineup but its more or less an acceptable grab for a promoted team that plans to stay up and safe.
I believe this season Sunderland will do well, like many other promoted clubs that shows promise in the first season. In their opening game against Tottenham, Sunderland has the potential to shock us and start well. A good mid term plan for the team is to collect 25 points by Christmas, and I think they can get it done.
Good Luck Sunderland, one for the neutrals.
