More new Sunderland transfer news emerged on Sunday morning, so of course Gav sent out the bat signal and managed to get a couple of Lads to sit and chat about it with him - so joining us on today's show are Andrew Smithson, RR regular and Sunderland historian, and the Sunderland Echo's James Copley!

On today's agenda:

• Sunderland's €20m move for Sassuolo's Armand Laurienté is off - and we can only speculate about the reasons why
• Will we go out and get another of our left wing targets, particularly now Mundle is injured?
• We chat about the other positions that still need strengthening - particularly at centre back
• What's the latest on Granit Xhaka?
• Matty Young looks to be heading back to Salford - is another spell in League Two what's best for him?
• The Lads look ahead to Monday's game against Sporting Lisbon in the Algarve
