Making their debuts for a much-changed Sunderland team were two Argentinians who’d arrived at the club only days before: Santiago Vergini and Oscar Ustari. Vergini played 51 games for Sunderland Vergini, a 6’3” centre back, was signed on loan from Estudiantes, a club he’d only joined in the previous summer. He’d spent the previous two seasons at Newell’s Old Boys, and before his move Estudiantes had allegedly been linked with a move to Barcelona. The fact Poyet had managed to secure his signature, albeit on loan, was therefore viewed as something of a coup.
