Sunderland<\/a> chairman Niall Quinn has said that he is expecting plenty of transfer activity this summer.<\/p>\nThe Irishman, speaking after the announcement of the club\u2019s Premier League fixtures, said he is in talks with players and agents in an attempt to spend the money from the sale of midfielder Jordan Henderson to Liverpool and build the squad which also lost Darren Bent to Aston Villa in January.<\/p>\n
The Black Cats had a mixed season which saw them begin and end relatively well, but they endured a long mid-season slump after the departure of Bent and a string of injuries to key players saw manager Steve Bruce struggle to find a recognised striker to play.<\/p>\n
Sunderland enjoyed a 3-0 victory at Stamford Bridge but also suffered a 5-1 defeat at the home of biggest rivals Newcastle, which highlighted the extent of their inconsistency.<\/p>\n
Possible transfers include the signing of Manchester United players Wes Brown and Darren Gibson, and it is thought that the club want to sign David N\u2019Gog from Liverpool.<\/p>\n
Sunderland start their season at Anfield, which means a reunion with Henderson, before a trip to Newcastle.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the club\u2019s official website, Quinn said: “The journey begins again and it promises to be an interesting one.<\/p>\n
“We have got a tough start to the season, but you have to play everyone twice during the course of the season, so it all evens itself out.<\/p>\n
“We are looking to build an exciting squad to meet the challenges to come, and I’m confident we will be able to do that.<\/p>\n
“As a club, we are exploring a number of potential signings and have been speaking to a number of players and agents.<\/p>\n
“There’s a real sense of excitement now and I hope the fans will get behind us and back us through the turnstiles.<\/p>\n
“We are all moving ahead in the same direction and there’s plenty to look forward to.”<\/p>\n
