Looking more like wait and see, in bruces efforts for bolstering his forwards.
Guess every journo is plucking names and thinking of a club.
But it does seem like the same names are cropping up time and time again.
But this article say's no about Ba.
STEVE Bruce is pondering a summer move for Wolves striker Kevin Doyle, but the Sunderland boss will definitely not be offering John Mensah a return to the Stadium of Light.
Having discussed a number of attacking targets with chairman Niall Quinn, Bruce has assembled a short-list of around half-a-dozen names.
He is determined to sign at least two strikers this summer, and is keen for at least one of them to have prior experience of life in the Premier League.
West Ham striker Demba Ba does not feature on the shortlist, despite Wednesdayâs claims of an illegal approach for the African, but it is understood a move for Doyle is being seriously considered.
The Republic of Ireland international only scored five league goals last season, but his industrious displays played a crucial role in keeping Wolves in the Premier League.
Mick McCarthy will be reluctant to lose the 27-year-old, having shelled out £6.5m to sign him from Reading in June 2009, but the Wolves boss is keen to remodel his own squad this summer and could be forced to make sacrifices in order to recruit the players he wants to sign.
Bruce is not expected to make a formal move until he has had an opportunity to gauge the likelihood of completing a deal for a number of his other attacking targets.
The Black Cats boss has been linked with the likes of DJ Campbell, Craig Bellamy and Peter Crouch in recent days, and continues to harbour an interest in free agent Jay Bothroyd, who will not be re-signing for Cardiff City
