Black Cats chase United defender, Chelsea midfielder and Rovers striker

It has been rumoured in recent days that Sunderland boss Roy Keane is looking to strengthen his squad, especially in central positions.

He has been linked with Man United defender Wes Brown, who looks likely to leave the club in January or the summer), Chelsea bench warmer Steve Sidwell and Blackburn Rovers striker Jason Roberts.

He has been told he has £20 million to spend in January on new players and these are apparently his main targets.

I personally think the three would all be decent signings for the Black Cats. Brown is a good reader of the game and can play in either of two positions (right back or centre back).

Sidwell was terrific at Reading last year and in my view and I'm sure many other peoples view he was wrong to leave them and join Chelsea. I feel it is time he admits he made a mistake and move on and Sunderland would be a good move for him

Roberts has been in a relegation battle before and he knows how to survive it. He would offer a different option up front for Sunderland because at the moment they only have one man performing and that's Kenwyne Jones.
