Sunderland Transfers: 10 Dream Alternatives To Fabio Borini
4. Wes Hoolahan
Plying his trade now in the Championship, even a season away from the top level seems like a waste of his talents, which has already been said of him at International level with the Republic of Ireland. Ready and able to employ a range of tricks, Hoolahan is in many respects an underrated midfielder who looked comfortable in the Premier League last year despite his sides struggles. He can score goals, play in several roles and bring others into play, suggesting he could perhaps adapt to the number 10 type role. Recently after months of speculation, Hoolahan signed a new contract at Norwich, so both parties could be reluctant for him to move, and thus it would maybe prove expensive if Sunderland wanted to prise him away, but a potential move for the all-round attacking midfielder could prove a great addition nonetheless. In fact, given his adaptability there would be no reason bar the cost why Sunderland couldnt pursue Hoolahan and fit both him and Borini into an attack-minded system. The kind whereby the wide players or deep lying forward interchange throughout the match to lose their markers and create gaps. All of which is very much within the intelligent Hoolahans many capabilities.
