Bad luck for the Black Cats?
David Moyes has been less than enthusiastic about this transfer window: Very little money to spend, the unappealing prospect of a relegation battle and the difficulty with attracting top class talent to England’s North East all combine to leave the Sunderland manager less than optimistic about the transfer window.
“I’d be kidding you if I said the players we are going to bring in will make a big difference,” said Moyes. “We probably couldn’t get that level of player — and we probably wouldn’t have the finances to do it. Our funds are limited with a capital L.”
So fair play to Moyesy for snapping up a two-time Premier League-winning England international defender with more than a decade’s top flight experience under his belt.

Oh, it’s that two-time Premier League-winning England international defender with more than a decade’s top flight experience under his belt.
The signing of pocket-dialling former West Brom and Aston Villa defender Joleon Lescott has not been met with universal approval by supporters of the Mackems.
While everyone else, particularly Aston Villa fans, are delighted with the development.

Really feel for Sunderland…Signing @JoleonLescott is accepting relagation. He offered our club nothing during last season #SAFC #AVFC
