Ex Ipswich and New Zealand international, 29 yo defender, has joined Sunderland. Might this guy have been one SE was looking to sign?
 
Could be, but whoever signs will only be back up.
There is no way that he will change the current back five.

Yeah. I think IF we get anyone in it will be a central midfielder. Maybe one that can fill in at the back if required. But an extra midfielder will mean if one of our defenders gets injured or suspended we’ll be able to move Jones or O’Connor back to the positions they were initially brought in to play.

I reckon we have missed out on our target tho. Joe Ledley signed in the A League yesterday. He seemed to fit the bill of what we need.
