Good player” – Sunderland AFC urged to eye Stoke City starter
This article is part of Football League World’s ‘Terrace Talk’ series, which provides personal opinions from our FLW Fan Pundits regarding the latest breaking news, teams, players, managers, potential signings and more…
Sunderland have made a strong start to the season and find themselves in contention for promotion to the Premier League.
Régis Le Bris has earned a lot of praise for his work so far at the Stadium of Light, having been appointed as head coach in the summer.
The Black Cats finished a disappointing 16th in the table in the previous campaign, so not many had tipped them to immediately bounce back and compete for a top two spot.
With the January transfer window now just around the corner, the club will surely have their eyes on potential signings that could boost their top flight credentials.
The right new signing could have a huge impact on their ability to keep pace with the likes of Sheffield United, Leeds United and Burnley.
Sunderland urged to make Stoke City signing
When asked what one position does the team need to strengthen in January, FLW’s Sunderland fan pundit Jack Austwicke highlighted the need for greater depth at full-back.
He believes Stoke City defender Junior Tchamadeu is the type of signing they should bring in, in order to provide extra cover for the regular starters.
“I think the obvious position would be the full-back position,” Austwicke told Football League World.
“Not necessarily to strengthen, because we’ve got two good starters, but to get more depth is the answer I think.
“I don’t think any of the starting XI will need replacing, that’s not an issue we have right now.
