Kevin Phillips talks transfers
Kevin Phillips deliveries Sunderland transfer Verdict
Let’s start with transfers.
Here’s what Black Cats legend Kevin Phillips has made of Sunderland’s transfer window so far.
“I always like to bring in quality over quantity,” Phillips told Football Insider.
“The problem is every team is out there looking for quality players.
“Sunderland have the edge in terms of finances, look at 30,000 in the ground most weeks.
“That alone is a reason to bring in more players before the window shuts.
“I think there will be two more signings but I don’t want to see squad players.
“I want two players who can come in and really push to break into that team.
“From the manager’s point of view, he does need those squad players in a League One season.
“I want to see two quality additions either way.”
