The crazy amount Sunderland’s starting XI is worth right now with every player valued
Sunderland drew with Leeds United in their last outing, fielding a starting XI full of young talent and future potential.
Sunderland got lucky last time out. Illan Meslier made a blunder, somehow allowing the ball to slip past him for a late Sunderland equaliser.
But the Championship table doesn’t lie, nor does it account for luck. The Black Cats sit top of the pile for this month’s international break.
Regis Le Bris is earning plaudits for his fine start to life in England. But Sunderland owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus and indeed sporting director Kristjaan Speakman are earning praise too.
They’ve put together a very exciting first-team squad full of potential and future profit. Here we discuss how much the strongest Sunderland XI is worth…
Anthony Patterson – £20million
Anthony Patterson is wanted by Manchester United right now, having had links to the likes of Liverpool and Wolves beforehand.
Amid these emerging links to United, Patterson is being touted as a £20million player.
Dennis Cirkin – £5million
Dennis Cirkin is a difficult one to value right now. If he had stayed injury-free since Sunderland’s return to the Championship, we’d no doubt be talking about another £15million or £20million player.
