Not very outstanding at sunderland were they and on numerous occasions during the season, thats why we were in the bottom 3 for almost an entire season because they were oustanding. if we dont strengthen at centre half we will struggle again
I agree with you that we need more strength at centre half, but I don’t think Woodgate is the man to fit into Martinez’s buying policy and ethos, which I personally agree with. If we could get an experienced centre half with good leadership qualities and fitness record like De Zeuw (or Henchoz, who I think was a good buy for that one season), then maybe. But I don’t think Woodgate is that man.
Personally I think the reason we were in the bottom three for most of the season was a lack of goals, caused by a lack of attacking intent.
