The point about Wickham is even if Sunderland were to offload him, first they would want the 8m back and secondly I would imagine there would be at least 2 or 3 prem teams interested in him as well, that in itself would probably rule him out from our perspective.
Finding the 20 goal striker that SG said he wants is not going to be easy and not cheap either. Any player who is "guaranteed" to be prolific will be chased by a number of clubs and even though we now have potential, thats all we currently offer!! Our best bet is to spend money on a striker who has good promise and then surround him with a midfield and wingers who can provide service. Maybe we already have that striker in May or Bus, but without the service we just don't really know. So I would concentrate on getting McGugan signed and then at the very least buy 2 solid wingers who can deliver a cross, even our strikers will score with the right service!!
