Granit Xhaka has never been considered available for transfers and, following discussions, has reaffirmed his commitment to @SunderlandAFC. Xhaka had explored the idea of reuniting with Xabi Alonso, but he is now fully committed to leading #SAFC in Europe. @[email protected]

Sunderland spent £148m on player purchases, a big new club record, though that was largely driven by post-promotion investment in the squad (as accounting close is 31st July). Highest ever transfer spend for a promoted club, as they had to catch-up with top flight rivals #SAFC

A review of Sunderland's finances after a very impressive first season back in the Premier League, when they finished 7th and qualified for the Europa League. Figures largely from the promotion-winning season in 2024/25, but also some thoughts on earnings since then #SAFC

... but surely the best value-for-money, most impactful signing is Granit Xhaka, Sunderland’s £13m recruit from Bayer Leverkusen. Instant authority. Assists. Led Sunderland to seventh. Column. 2/2 #SAFC https://open.substack.com/pub/henrywinterfootball/p/granit-the-rock-for-sunderland?r=3osxpq&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

In praise of Granit Xhaka. Plenty of contenders for Premier League signing of the season: Rayan Cherki, Antoine Semenyo, Bryan Mbeumo, Senne Lammens, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Viktor Gyokeres and others... 1/2 #SAFC

Sunderland’s starting XI in their joyous, season-ending 2-1 victory over listless Chelsea cost the same as £106m Enzo Fernandez. This is no slight on a world champion, an elite attacking midfielder, full of craft and craftiness, if moody at times. This is simply a celebration of Sunderland’s exceptional recruitment, finding gems who can see - and seize - the opportunity at the Stadium of Light.
This is also a celebration of Regis Le Bris’ remarkable team-building, blending and bonding qualities which have guided a side promoted via the play-offs into seventh and Europe. For those of us who thought Sunderland would go straight back down, apologies and enjoy Europe. You deserve it. A well-run football operation deserves it. That backing from stands to boardroom deserves it. Football also deserves it: a reminder that the status quo can be challenged with shrewd planning and investment and hard work.
Of Le Bris’ starting XI against Chelsea, eight joined on the eve of the season and one in the winter window: Roefs a reported £9m from Nijmegen; Mukiele £9.5m from PS-G; Reinaldo free from Atletico Madrid; Geertruida loan from RB Leipzig; Le Fee £19.3m, loan made permanent from Roma; Xhaka £13m from Bayer Leverkusen; Sadiki £15m from Union St-Gilloise; Angulo £17.5m from Anderlecht (in February); and seven-goal Brobbey £21.6m from Ajax. Two 2025 arrivals came off the bench: Diarra £30m from Strasbourg; and Isidor £5m loan made permanent from Zenit St-Petersburg (in February 2025).
Three of the 14 involved were already at the club. The starting pair of: Hume £200,000 from Linfield in 2022; and O’Nien undisclosed but reported as £200,000 to £300,000 from Wycombe Wanderers in 2018. And the sub: Rigg from Sunderland’s academy. (The £105.5m total does not include the undisclosed loan fees).
When Sunderland won 2-1 at the Bridge in October, Le Bris’ starting XI cost only £75m (and also had the important Ballard, £2m from Arsenal in 2022). Chelsea’s starting XI was £433m.
Four miles from the Bridge, on Park Lane this evening, the League Managers Association celebrates its members’ many achievements this season. Le Bris certainly deserves a mention. Mixing old and many new players, and getting new signings to settle quickly, requires real people skills. Le Bris and his staff clearly have them.
It’s also a reflection on Sunderland’s family club reputation that so many newcomers are welcomed and assimilated so quickly. Some will move on, some will be moved on but what a journey this is across England - and soon Europe. #SAFC

Really enjoyed commentating on #safc 0 #lfc 1 for the @premierleague radio world feed. Liverpool outstanding defensively, and in the first half Wirtz was superb. Sunderland improved after HT, but Liverpool saw the game out impressively. VVD and Konate unbeatable in the air.

If you’re wondering about the graph, the outlier (six points from first 29 PL games) is Mick McCarthy at #SAFC.
But that’s not really fair because those 29 were punctuated by relegation and promotion.
Still, feels kind of relevant to the #MUFC discussion
