WES BROWN WANTS BARCA STAR

Former Sunderland man Wes Brown has heaped praise on the team this season. He called our start to the season both "brilliant" and "unexpected". He hopes we can continue our form and aim to finish the season as high as we can. To round things off he even touched on the rumour that SAFC were interested in the 23 year old Fermin Lopez from Barcelona wth a rumoured price of around 80 million!

UNEXPECTED START

“Sunderland have had a brilliant start to the season; there’s some great characters in that team. I don’t think that anyone would have expected it, maybe some of the Sunderland fans but you can just see the togetherness in the group.

RELEGATIONS SHOUTS WERE MOTIVATION

“There’s no doubt Sunderland were one of the main candidates for relegation preseason and that group would’ve seen that in the media, and it’s the type of thing that can motivate a team like that. Those lads will want to show that that’s not the case, go out there and play the way that they know they can. They have some individuals that have done very well for the team, but they all look in it together and that’s what you need."

CREDIT TO EVERYONE

“They’ve got the belief that they can stand on their own two feet in the league. It’s gone past the point of safety for them now, they’re over halfway there on points and they can really look at how high they can finish. They’re a great team that are difficult to beat, and you must give credit to the whole setup.”

WHY NOT SIGN BARCA'S BEST?

“I saw Fermin Lopez linked to the club for 80 million, it’s a lot of money! But do you know what? They’re capable of attracting a player like that, if you’re still flying in the league, you might start thinking that you can secure a certain player. If it’s a player that isn’t happy with their current situation and they want to come to the Premier League, there’s no reason why a player like Lopez wouldn’t take that chance if Sunderland continue this level of form."
