The departures of Robbin Ruiter and Max Stryjek leaves the Black Cats on the lookout for a new stopper – but could any of these free agents fit the bill? Scroll down and click through the pages to see 13 free agents available this summer. Would you sign any of them?
5. Boaz Myhill
Another option packed with experience, the American-born stopper left West Brom this summer. He would be a solid back-up option, with the quality to step-up when needed. Photo: Michael Regan
6. Stephen Henderson
Henderson offers a wealth of experience and, at 31, could prove to be a solid competitor for McLaughlin. Whether he would be willing to make the move to Sunderland would have to be questioned, though. Photo: Ashley Allen
7. Dimi Konstantopoulos
Heavily linked with Sunderland this summer, the former Middlesbrough and Hartlepool stopper would be a sensible and realistic option for Sunderland to pursue. Photo: Martin Willetts
8. Anders Lindegaard
The former Manchester United man is available after leaving Burnley this summer, and would add some quality to the squad. Wages could be a stumbling block, though, and the stopper may not wish to drop to League One. Photo: Steve Bardens
