Couldn't be bothered about the other clubs now that Sunderland have almost certainly secured safety but it'd be very interesting to see what kind of players will go to Sunderland next season. Take nothing away from Keane, despite spending the most out of the relegation candidates, Sunderland still deserve to stay up. The defense looks settled (if United can sell them Evans) as is the midfield but they do need one more striker.

As you've hinted, their downfalls stems from the fact that they added nothing new to their squad and became predictable. Sidwell made a bad career move if you ask me, much like Scott Parker did when he signed for Chelsea. He had the likes of Frank Lampard, Michael Ballack, Jon Obi Mikel, Claude Makalele and Michael Essien to compete with. What was he thinking?
