Player Ratings: Sunderland strolled to victory in their first pre-season game, scoring 5 away to York City. Here's how I rated the lads! #SAFC // @RokerReport rokerreport.sbnation.com/report-amp-pla…

🎥 VIDEO: Régis Le Bris said Sunderland are looking for “X FACTOR” in potential new signings this summer 🔴⚪️ 🗣️ Le Bris made clear that navigating the summer and heading into the new season will be challenging, but exciting. 😁 #SAFC

On the transfer window Le Bris said: "I'm never relaxed, I don't know this word! "But yes, it's a bit different this summer. Last season, we had to sign 14 new players and this time we'll probably go for six or seven. "It's half of the job we've done last season, so it's going to be different. More precise, which is good because we have a strong foundation. We never know because the market is slow this season. It's better to wait and to take the right decision rather than rushing anything." sunderlandecho.com/sport/football… #SAFC #Sunderland

I mean when we keep talking about getting some physicality in the squad or some height, Sunderland players look huge compared to us I mean he's kneeling down and is nearly the same height 🙈 #AR #UTM #SSFC
