The annals of H&V will show Altidore as a mere footnote along with Kevin Kyle. The majestic Reverser will ultimately reign supreme.

Why would a Sunderland side desperate for points loan out their best goalscorer?

It's not in their control, he's owned by a different club.

Just read that back, it looked sarcastic - just relaying what I read this morning.

I can assure you that no sarcasm was intended. If a viable option Grabban should certainly be being looked at.

No, I meant my post looked sarcastic.

The team will just about get by if we can bring in at least one target man.  Options

Jordon Rhodes - would be the transfer deal of the last few years potentially - viability NIL.

Benteke - As others have mentioned he needs to be playing top division football before the world cup. - little chance

Robson Kanu - Not even good enough for our level.

Play Onomah as a striker - not good enough in the air and whilst he looks physically strong, his weakest performances have been against the likes of Blues who simply wanted to kick him off the pitch.

Jack Marriott - Peterborough - might be on Bruce's radar and could see him in the flesh in the cup

Eoin Doyle - Oldham not only does he score he also makes them.

Not an awful lot out there that is nailed on.  Pity the likes of Defoe has started to score again.

I like the idea of Ulloa. A very underrated forward.

If we had any money I would suggest we need a couple of forwards preferably with a little pace. Ulloa would be ideal for how we play though if he was obtainable on loan.

I don't think we will sign a forward. Hogan and/or Agbonlahor will have recovered and we'll decide that's enough to carry on. They'll then get injured within minutes of the transfer window closing.

Made me laugh although I shouldn't just in case.

Erin Doyle could help our current situation for a small price in football terms.

Charlie Wyke at Bradford, he's as good as Chris Wood

Charlie Wyke at Bradford,..

Good call. He'd probably fit in immediately as Bradford play very similar football to us.
