Sessegnon isnt a striker. Saha is injury prone and Campbell (mostly due to injuries), hasnt proven himself yet.I'd take Adam Johnson over Steven Fletcher any day of the week.
They've got Sessegnon and Frazier Campbell and Saha. It should be enough.
It stalled him unnecessarily whereas he had enough talent to own England's right wing position.He still can as he is relatively young but going to City has had a bad consequence on his development.There aren't many English players with the same style of play
Left wing, you mean?
It's beyond belief how highly rated he is. It's great to have tricks but you need to have consistency and maturity in your play. He is 25 right now so he isn't a youngster anymore.
A crucial time in his career and he's in a dead end at City. Not a bad price if the rumorours are true and O'Neill could be good for him in the short-medium term at least.
However i were a Sunderland supporter i'd be hoping that perhaps another forward is brought in before the end of the month.

If you watch him he's potentially streets ahead of the likes of Lennon, Wright Phillips and Walcott who have nothing but pace. One of the few English wingers who actually plays with his head up.
Hopefully he can get himself the right move and get regular games - it'd be good for England.
I remember when City signed him they were spending an absolute fortune on new players but his transfer fee seemed like peanuts.
I heard that City put a hold on the move because of an interest from Liverpool.
Lennon gets his head up as well, he just makes bad decisions. Adam Johnson's no different, he just thinks he's better than he is and constantly takes on far too much on his own. The few times it works out he looks more impressive than someone like Lennon but that's just because he's aware of his limitations and doesn't take too much on because it's just wasteful. He's one of the few English wingers with decent technique but he's just as brainless as the rest of them and I'm not sure he's actually any more dangerous than the more 'limited' Lennon, personally.
I reckon the average football fan was fairly split on Adam Johnson, Pogue. Not that that takes away from your overall point.
Very good player. Miles better than Milner. Can't believe Mancini never played him. When he did it seemed Johnson did well, got crosses in and scored a fair number of goals.
Would be a great addition to Sunderland. Sessegnon, Johnson and Saha is a really nice attacking unit.
He's certainly not "wank".
Sorry Dad. He's still nowhere near good enough for a top club. He's completely brainless
I don't agree - I think he's a better player, and for me, if he was playing regularly he'd be an England regular.
Scored some good goals and his movement is much better than the likes of Lennon who "kick and run" far to often, and is liable just to blast a ball across goal into the "danger area" rather than trying to pick out a team mate.
As I said, hopefully he makes the right move and kicks on - he's a good player to watch.
He made quite a promising start at City and the hype machine was in full flow. I remember Brian Marwood saying in an interview 'we were interested in Johnson and Moses, I think you say that we made the right choice'. Ironically, now the two players careers are on the opposite trajectory.
I never rated Johnson, this time last year in the newbies he was voted the player most likely to win the Young Player of the Year award in the Premier League 2011/12. That left me dumbfounded on two levels - 1. He was too old and 2. He just isn't that good.
He's not too young to win it. He's eligible for it this year as well. Stupid rule. Think Aguero and Bale were both nominated last season.
