Former Sunderland forward Marco Gabbdiani has been speaking about Sunderland's transfer strategy this summer and Regis Le Bris' desire to have a "core squad" of around 20 players. It's very difficult to put sessions on for 24, 26 players. Gabbiadini told BBC Radio Newcastle.
Former Sunderland striker Marco Gabbiadini says it would be "hard to criticise" Eliezer Mayenda if he decides to leave the Black Cats this summer. The 21-year-old striker, who joined from FC Sochaux in July 2023, was a driving force in Sunderland's promotion to the Premier League last season and scored the winning goal in the Championship play-off final against Sheffield United. "It's difficult for players like Mayenda," said Gabbiadini on BBC Radio Newcastle.
When Luke O'Nien signed for League One Sunderland in 2018, European football was never a dream because he "never thought it was possible". After being released from Watford in 2015, O'Nien said he was "heartbroken" in an emotional statement posted on X. Former Sunderland striker Marco Gabbiadini told BBC Radio Newcastle: "When he came to Sunderland he was clearly not a Premier League player, but he is now."
Former Sunderland striker Marco Gabbiadini has praised the club's hierarchy for showing a "real desire and concentrated effort" this season, after the Black Cats qualified for Europa League football just four years on from being in League One. It is also the first time Sunderland have qualified for European football in 53 years.
