Dodds and speakman will have seen his development since being a kid. They'll have an idea of how good he can be amd we wouldn't buy somebody just for his last name. We are too shrewd for that.

If we're spending decent money on a 17 year old. Hopefully there's some cash available this summer to have a real go.Just me being a bit cynical mate n mucking around

There will be when we inevitably lose someone. Patterson and/or Clarke seem the most likely out of the more star players.

Funny one that, obviously a different type of player to Michut but apart from being better in the air none of those stats stand out. Ekwah looking like a world beater though.

The thing I’m going to hate about this signing is that there is going to a large proportion of our fan base comparing him to his brother.
Already seeing things in socials such as “name tax” etc.
Sunderland this past year has signed players using a clear strategy and philosophy, every single signing has been well thought through & nearly all of them have been a success so far.
He hasn’t just been signed because of his last name, some people need to take a step back and remember that this football club are totally different to the one that we where 3/4 years ago.
I’m excited to see how well he can do, the fact that we have won his signature with our plan for his development over the likes of other elite top level European clubs tells me everything I need to know about where we are heading as a football club.

Aye but including those figures would make the table even wider man.

Promising numbers. Makes out that he’s more of an all-round midfielder (like his brother) than the outright 10 I thought he was. He should develop into an orthodox midfielder as he matures.
Could’ve done with that on Tuesday! 
He clearly is. Came on for Brum in front of us in the west stand and he looked at least 6' 2".

One caveat with Ekwah's (and actually Bellingham's) is that limited game time can be skewed by a couple of really strong (or poor) performances. Probably need a few more games to get a real sense of their data

Probably because you were quite close so he looked bigger
Behave man, he was head and shoulders above everyone around him. I sit 2 rows in front of the boxes.
