The last transfer window was one of the most frustrating transfer windows we’ve had at Sunderland in a long time. The rumours of Sam Allardyce leaving for the England job meant that no business was done early in the window. Then when it became apparent Allardyce would be leaving, the process dragged out longer than it should have, again affecting Sunderland’s transfer window.
When Moyes was appointed on 23rd July, it was a relief as we now knew our transfer window could belatedly begin. And, sure enough, it did. On 5th August Sunderland finally made their first signing of the summer.
Despite the slow start, and despite it not really feeling like it, Sunderland went on to make 10 summer signings.
Here, I will be grading those 10 signings on how they have fared so far this season and their potential they have to offer, starting from worst to best.
