The former Manchester United man has piled praise on the Frenchman, who he claims is still a top player despite his injury concerns.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019, the Premier League has witnessed the rise and eventual falls of the striker.
Although he plyed his trade at Tottenham last season, he has been signed by Sunderland this summer and is likely to play for the Big Cats in their next Premier League match.
While his attacking prowess may no longer be the same as it once was, the player’s abilities have not diminished and he has been backed by former Red Devils teammate John O’Shea to find success at the Stadium of Light.
According to the versatile defender, Saha has suffered considerably because of injuries, but with a relatively clean slate of games under his belt, he can start things on a high at Wearside.
Sunderland boss Martin O’Neill has spent considerably this summer, acquiring http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adam-Johnson-c3537 and Steven Fletcher in a major coup, which has overshadowed Saha’s arrival at the helm.
Nonetheless, the stage has been set and if O’Shea is to be believed, the French International will live up to the hype surrounding him.
“I’m well aware of Louis’ quality, and delighted we’ve signed him. To be honest, I was amazed he was a free transfer. People have spoke about his injury record, but I know for a fact how hard Louis works.”
“He’s been so unfortunate lots of times, and if we can keep Louis Saha fit, he can be one h**l of a player. We needed some experience up there, and there’ll be no better player for our strikers to learn from than Louis. He’s great in the air, he can shoot
with his left foot and right foot, and he’s a threat in behind as well."
Sunderland now take on Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday, with the hosts in stupendous form following consecutive wins against QPR and West Bromwich Albion.
