Martin, Andrew and Bomber got together on Monday morning to record this pod – and, of course, as we hung up our mics the news of Granit Xhaka's imminent arrival at the club broke. But there's still a lot of good stuff to get stuck into in this one ahead of the Hull game tonight!
Who's impressed for Sunderland during pre season, and who's really staking a claim for a starting position?
Legitimate concerns in attack and defence?
How important it it that someone like Xhaka arrives in terms of experience?
What's a realistic expectation for the season – and how patient do we all need to be?!
Does our pre-season really start tonight – or will we see a much changed team with the real action starting on Saturday against Betis?
