We have obviously been watching this guy closely and the word a few weeks ago was that 'this one was being placed on the backburner' until all of the other deals, particularly the lads from Man U, were put to bed. If Bruce and his coaches have scouted him and with the attributes he has, he must still be on Bruce's shortlist.
He meets the criteria of experience at international and european levels, scores goals, would be a great partner for Gyan and would take the pressure off the young kids until they mature. Sessagnon could play off Gyan and/or Pogrebynak if either was injured.
This is the quality signing Sunderland deserve and go some way to replacing Bent, something that was clearly a prime requirement before the transfer window opened. I cannot believe it is no longer a priority, I think Bruce is stalling to see if he can buy or loan Welbeck. Just hope we dont miss out on this lad.
