Can anyone answer why Sunderland are doing so well?
Ok they spent 150 mill but also lost their best player in Bellingham.
Thry were way behind us last season.

One word Cork, recruitment.
Yes they had more to spend and they got their targets over the line by paying more money which they had.
Granit Xhaka is also a major signing for them, heaps of experience in the Premiership, think he mainly runs the show as far as motivation is concerned.
Regis Le Bris is a very competent coach also.

Afcon definitely going to knock them back, 6-7 players gone of which Sidiki is a big player for them
Also note of worth their keeper seems to be very good and has shown that regularly all season
Well done Mackems, good. to see.

Rumour out today that Chelski and ####chester United are "accelerating efforts" to sign him. Maybe it's a good thing we missed out on signing him in the summer window. I always thought that Afcon might be critical for them, let's see.

People like me who were at Wembley in 1973 will always struggle to want good things for Sunderland.
