Player Valuation: £30m
Agreed.Cirkin would of been picked if he didn't have a tough year last year with injuries.
The step up to the PL is so hard, especially if you aren't coming in as an automatic starter (Jack Clarke was the best player in that league for 2 years)
This is going to sound like revisionism, but I think many here could just tell Clarke wasn’t going to produce the same numbers/performances in the prem as a starting winger. But players like Bowen, Eze and Olise…you could just tell they’d be fine - and have been. Nothing other than the eye test. Clarke was always a bit light weight. You look and a lot of those Sunderland lads and just reckon they have a good chance of stepping up physically. Look, I’m clearly bias and very high on them. I don’t disagree with you at all in terms of step up, but call me deluded, I think they’ll be great at a higher level.
