Breaking:£8m flop won’t be getting another summer deal as sunderland regrets signing

With this noteworthy flop, sunderland certainly didn’t get their money’s worth.

The idea of an international break would have given Sunderland some relief as they could take a breather from their

present miserable Championship position and evaluate what’s really caused the wheels to come off at the Stadium of Light.

A lengthy list of injuries hasn’t helped Mike Dodds return to the Wearside bench as interim manager,

with the absence of players like 15-goal scorer Jack Clarke really throwing a wrench in the works.

The fact that the Black Cats are safe from the second tier drop-zone is at least a some consolation,

but it’s still a sharp decline for a team that was once seeing promotion as a pipe dream.

It’s not quite as painful to watch as Sunderland’s 2016–17 campaign, though, when several anticipated standout

players—including one forgotten bust—consistently waved the white flag during David Moyes’ disastrous reign,

which resulted in confirmation of relegation to the Championship.

The record of Jeremain Lens at Sunderland

Jeremain Lens, a former Sunderland failure, played just twice that season before being sent on loan to teams like

Fenerbahce and Besiktas in an attempt to clear his name from the roster following a poor debut season.

The Wearside team would later come to regret spending a healthy £8 million on the Dutch winger,

who ended up making just 24 appearances for the Black Cats before moving permanently to Turkey in 2018.

Dick Advocaat began with Dynamo Kyiv before moving to England.

Now when you take into account how much Lens’ transfer value has decreased following his unfortunate time at the Stadium of Light,

the move appears even more like a massive waste of cash.

Now a senior attacker in the French third tier, Bradley Dack, a reserve for the Black Cats, is worth more than the veteran attacker,

even if the former midfielder for Blackburn Rovers is still a regular in the Sunderland treatment room.

The transfer value of Jeremain Lens in 2024

Football Transfers reports that as of December of last year, Lens’ transfer value while still at FC Versailles 78 had dropped to a pitiful €200k (£171k),

as the Dutchman starts to wind down his illustrious career in France.

only for his Sunderland tenure to not work out as expected.

That’s still the case even after Lens threw off his old habits when playing for Versailles, scoring nine goals in 35

games for his present employers as his career comes to an end.

Remarkably, Luis Semedo, who hasn’t scored a goal for Sunderland’s first team since signing as a highly touted young player,

is also valued at €0.4m (£343k), making him another Sunderland failure with a higher transfer value than Lens at the moment.
