Sunderland are thought to be in talks with Peter Crouch after Portsmouth accepted a £12 million bid for the 6ft 7 inch jolly green giant. Fulham are also rumoured to be in the hunt for his signature after agreeing to sell Bobby Zamora to Hull for a hefty £5 million, it does seem like a lot of money when you consider his lack of goals last season.

This show’s Sunderland’s ambition to kick on next season after putting so much money into a key area of the pitch, goals was a problem for them last season and a position that needs strengthening. I personally think he will be a success at The Stadium Of Light, the black cats will be hoping he will be as successful as their current chairman Niall Quinn, difficult to know who’s taller isn’t it?!

Here’s a peak at the king of the robotic dance!

Steve Bruce will be hoping to have a similar  if not greater effect on his new club to that of his previous club Wigan, Sunderland’s ambitions and fan base clearly had a huge bearing on his decision to move to the North East.
