00:01Sunderland have another mammoth task on their hands this season.
00:05The club will be hoping to avoid relegation for a second campaign in a row.
00:10Manager Reggie Labrie has said he is happy with the signings his team has made,
00:15including Malik Fafana on deadline day.
00:18Here's what the Sunderland coach had to say.
00:22So I won't comment on the deadline noise.
00:26I think the most important is the methodology.
00:28We had this mantra at the beginning of the market,
00:33keep the core and add what we need.
00:37And we kept this idea all the way.
00:42It was tough, obviously, because the market is not easy to manage.
00:47We ticked our three boxes.
00:50The first one with Kevin Danso, Thomas Meunier, top-level experience.
00:57The second one with Malik and Diane Young with proven experience.
01:07And the third one is for the huge potential prospects, I would say,
01:12with Juan and Jules.
01:17We had to manage the different positions because it's already a big challenge.
01:24It was a big challenge, but at the end, we are happy.
