Sunderland face MK Dons this weekend as they look to build on their impressive 4-0 win over Wycombe Wanderers last time out in Sky Bet League One.
The Black Cats look to have turned a corner under Phil Parkinson in recent weeks and they are now firmly in contention for the League One play-off spots as we head towards the final few months of the campaign.
Fans of the club will also hope that they are going to be able to add to their challenge via the January transfer window this month, though Gary Madine is one man that will not be joining the side.
Indeed, he has joined Blackpool after having been touted as a potential Sunderland target.
Instead, Kyle Lafferty has joined to bolster the club’s attacking options and fans on Twitter have been discussing which of the two they prefer.
Let’s look at that now on the social media site:
Madine signed an 18month deal at Blackpool. Younger and better than Lafferty imo. Imagine we had the choice of the two and Donald went with the cheaper option till the end of the season #safc

Reckon madine is on more money by a long way and he’s not that good at all

I’m sure PP would have gone for him if he really wanted him. 2 years no goals might have put him off but I’m sure it was length of contract Madine wanted.
