Kristjaan Speakman addressed the media yesterday as he plans for Sunderland’s summer transfer business.
Sunderland have been fairly quiet so far, having brought in a solo arrival in Simon Moore.
The club had prioritised bringing in a new head coach since the season ended, with their search finally coming to an end a couple of weeks ago.
Regis Le Bris‘ arrival should now kickstart Speakman’s hunt for new players, with increasing pressure on him to get it right this time.
The 45-year-old came under heavy criticism when he sold the likes of Danny Batth and Lynden Gooch, as well as only signing inexperienced strikers to bolster the frontline.
There is an expectation upon him to invest in more experience this time round, while Le Bris has already confirmed they will be looking at ‘one or two’ Championship proven players.

Speakman has now had his say on his recruitment players, admitting that he will prioritise ‘quality’ and ‘positive profiles’.
