da casino： Loads of Sunderland fans have been reacting to a rather hilarious anniversary, as Friday marks two years since the Black Cats signed goalkeeper Mika.

It’s fair to say a lot has gone wrong at the Stadium of Light over the last few years, but above all else it’s the awful transfer business that really drove the Black Cats down.
Time and time again under Ellis Short the club signed unknown players from poor teams for ridiculous fees, and fans are reminiscing about the capture of Mika.
The former Portugal Under-21 goalkeeper was signed by David Moyes in 2016 for around £2m.
While £2m isn’t exactly a crazy fee, it becomes slightly crazier when you realise the 27 year-old never played a league game for the club, and left two years later after agreeing to terminate his contract.
He is now playing his football for Portuguese side Belenenses, though “playing” is a bit of a stretch as he hasn’t actually played for them yet.

Fans are hopeful those days are behind them now, as the new leadership looks to rebuild the squad with smarter investments, but they can’t help looking back on the infamous signing.
