Bruce to be patient in the hunt for a striker, He refers to a knock on effect from a club selling one of it's big names, Wasn't it the sale of bent that seemed to kickstart the jan. striker frenzy? Sunderland boss prepared to bide time in transfer market ....Steve Bruce has admitted his bid to bolster Sunderland's attacking options may take some time. The Black Cats' hopes of securing a top-10 Premier League finish this season have been severely dented by Darren Bent's unexpected departure for Aston Villa in January and the injuries which have hit Asamoah Gyan, Danny Welbeck and Fraizer Campbell. With Welbeck only on loan at the Stadium of Light from Manchester United and Bruce not expecting Sir Alex Ferguson to allow him to leave, and Campbell expected to miss most of next season with another knee problem, there is little doubt where the manager's main focus will be as he attempts to strengthen his squad this summer. .However, he knows he will not be the only top-flight boss hunting for frontmen - derby rivals Newcastle, for example, are looking for a replacement for Andy Carroll, who made a ã35million switch to Liverpool a fortnight after Bent's defection. In the circumstances, Bruce believes he may have to wait for the merry-go-round to spring into action before he can make his move. He said: "We are doing our job and looking at what is available and what's not available, but there is nobody, really, not yet. "I don't think teams have made their minds up yet, especially the big ones - and it is usually the big ones who cause the knock-on effect, if they are going to change their strikers, for example
Bruce should be a patient, after this seasons bunch of crocks, shame he has inflcted his desease on us, he is a born loser, a millionair I grant you, but a manager no. get him into the daft lads ward, in a hospital far away from me,I cant listen to his ****e anymore, but it will be on websites, newspapers, etc etc, be a man Brucie, **** off without the millions compensation,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,BUT YOU WONT,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,WILL YOU.
Unfortunatelt I feel that any striker we sign will feel a bit of a let down....none of the names so far has got the pulse racing....the only exception is Hulk but we have as much chance of signing him as Big Chris becoming a UN Goodwill Ambassador....
