Splashing out again. They definately have the players to stay up and maybe a high mid-table finish.

 

[Kris]

top 15 def. though they wasted 1m or so on Russell Anderson

 

[Gregor]

Russel is a great defender, i'd swap russel for any one of our dc's in a heartbeat (cept mick and o'dea obv)

dont think sunderland will do as well as u guys think tbh. although it may just be because im a newcastle fan lol

 

[shaun_lufc]

i think theyll do well but not as good as reading did this year. around 12/13th i think

 

[thekillerdoctor]

I agree with Shaun. Low mid-table position if you ask me .

 

[Lee]

I hope they crash and burn like usual.

 

[jamgla]

yeah would be mint if they have forked out all this cash, then beat there own record for lowest point total

 

[Craven]

I reckon the Rams could give them a run for their money for lowest points record, we haven't made any great signings ourselves.

I cant really see Sunderland going back down this year, i see them probably just above relagation. Wigan for me are favourites to go down, maybe Derby too.
