An imaginary stadium's modelled and rendered.
Despite the rather unpleasant farewell, departee deserves to be celebrated by Sunderland for his return to the club after a year away….
Sunderland have offloaded some older players during the past couple of transfer windows.
Bailey Wright and Carl Winchester both departed earlier in the summer, with Lynden Gooch and Danny Batth sealing switches to Stoke City and Norwich City during the end of that window.
That left Corry Evans, Alex Pritchard and Bradley Dack as the three oldest players in the Black Cats’ squad.
But Evans has spent much of his time at the Stadium of Light on the sidelines and Dack hasn’t made that much of an impact since joining last summer.
However, it was Pritchard that left in January, with the 30-year-old reuniting with Tony Mowbray at fellow Championship side Birmingham City.
The end of Alex Pritchard’s time at Sunderland
The attacking midfielder’s future at the Stadium of Light had been in doubt for some time.
Mowbray, who was the manager of the Wearside club at the time, even admitted last summer that he expected Pritchard to leave during that window.
