On the day the transfer window opens, it appears that Sunderland have most of their business done already, have Sunderland rushed into making their new signings? Or has it been an astute piece of business from Steve Bruce and Niall Quinn?
Steve Bruce and Niall Quinn have wasted no time in strengthening their squad for the upcoming Premier League season, signing Connor Wickham, Craig Gardner, Seb Larsson and Ji Dong-Won in the space of a few days. The signings of Craig Gardner and Connor Wickham in particular are amazingly good signings for the Black Cats, Gardner was Birmingham City’s outstanding player last season ending as their top goal scorer with 10 goals, and Wickham was allegedly being chased by a host of big name clubs including the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham, so it’s pretty impressive that Sunderland managed to tie up a deal for the promising youngster.
