Darren Bent says he's "loving every minute" of his time with Sunderland after getting off to a goal-filled start to the season. Bent currently stands joint-top of the club's goal-scoring charts with two strikes in three games - level with strike partner Kenwyne Jones.
Steve Bruce left his £10m signing at home for the Carling Cup trip to Norwich, but such is Bent's motivation he was itching to play at Carrow Road.
Andy Reid's done extremely well with his fitness and conditioning - he's come back and lost something like nine kilos from last year. All he can do is play like that and he's posed a few questions.
That's the nice part of management, when you've got people knocking on the door, so we'll see what happens.
We think Fraizer's going to be okay after the injury late on. He's got a sore elbow, a bad head and a bad wrist and collarbone, but we think he'll be okay. He's a bit bashed and bruised. He looked electric in the first half and he'll be a big player for us.
It was the first time I've seen Craig Gordon live and he made two or three wonderful saves. We were comfortable but the goalkeeper's had to make a couple of really important saves.
And of course Paulo Da Silva made his debut. The more the game went on, the more assured he looked and he'll be a good player for us, that's for sure.
You can see why he's captained his country and he'll be fine once he's mastered the language.
