Florent Ghisfoli's 17 Sunderland signings rated, two 10s and one 3 | OneFootball

Sunderland’s first season back in the Premier League has delivered stability. Kristjaan Speakman’s exit underlined Florent Ghisolfi’s central role. According to Sunderland Echo, his two-window haul features two 10/10 hits and one 3/10.

Granit Xhaka is a 10/10, his leadership and passing still elite, a generational signing. Robin Roefs also earns 10/10, a calming, composed goalkeeper who looks destined for the top.

Noah Sadiki and Nordi Mukiele score 9.5, the former powering early-season form, the latter a defensive leader who adds thrust on the right. Omar Alderete and Brian Brobbey take 9s, a smart fit at centre-back and a focal, value-for-money striker.

Reinildo is 8, outstanding when fit despite a red card at Aston Villa. Chemsdine Talbi and Lutsharel Geertruida are 7.5, the former a quick, goal-minded winger, the latter a versatile loanee with an option decision pending. Habib Diarra is 7 after injury and AFCON interruptions.

Bertrand Traoré is 7 after an influential start curtailed by AFCON and injury. Melker Ellborg is 7.5 with clear potential, while Nilson Angulo is 7 and diligent in Le Bris’s system. Simon Adingra and Marc Guiu are 5s after limited impact, and Arthur Masuaku is the lone 3, a summer exit now looks inevitable. Jocelin Ta Bi is unrated, and Enzo Le Fée is excluded as his deal predated Ghisolfi’s arrival.

Many recruits were long-tracked, with youth blended smartly with experience. Ghisolfi quickly grasped Le Bris’s identity and Premier League demands. Spending at recent levels cannot continue, so adding talent without losing defensive solidity is the challenge as his new structure beds in.
