I'm keen to see how Tal Ben Haim is going to work out up there - top defender.
Did well at Bolton, that's where Sbragia knows him from - but that was a good 4 years ago. Just seen him on Sky being interviewed - he looks like a right fat knacker (at least 2 stone overweight). To be honest, a lot of the lads I know who follow Sunderland are scratching their heads wondering what the fuck we're doing buying a player who couldn't get a game at Man City, where you can pretty much drive a bus through their back four.
Davenport? Again, hardly one to whet the appetite, and no better than what we already have on the books. The problem we have is a lack of balance in the middle of the pitch, and that's what we really need to sort out. Tainio is a class act, and makes the holding role in front of the back four his own. Then we have 3 lads Richardson, Steed and Andy Reid who are all good enough at that level, but are similar types of players and don't give us any width. It was there for all to see yesterday - we played some good football in patches, but looked ragged at times - against a very poor Geordies side, too (the worst I've seen for a good 15 years).

I'd love those who consider it a sissy game to face Roy Keane on the pitch. What an education that would be, eh?
Haven't you heard? The Yanks are supermen.
