Ohhhhhhh Look TP. Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce will make a move for Bayern Munich's 6ft 5ins centre-back Jan Kirchhoff, 25. ( Daily Mail)

Kirchoff would actually be a really signing for us if we we to be interested in him. He is a centre back by trade but can play as a holding midfielder which I where I would prefer to see him utilised. He would add much needed height in our midfield which we lack and is a younger alternative to Mile Jedniak from Palace who I think Pulis will be looking at. Yacob has needed some competition for a while now and I have maintained for the past few years that we need a tall midfielder because we are too small and lightweight at times.

I saw him play for Schalke when he was on loan there during Jens Keller's time and he was used as a holding midfielder and impressed me.

Have to agree with our midfield lacking height.

I think I speak for a lot of us when I say that the last player we need to be signing this window is another centre back though haha.

As a club we're in dire need of dangerous creative players imo. Sess turns it on every now and then but not consistently. If we had the likes of Odemwingie, Lukaku, Long or dare I say it Berahino back in the side again and playing regularly, we'd all be in a much better place.
