Sunderland Bid for Cole

The Daily Mirror say that Sunderland are bidding £2 million for West Ham's Carlton Cole. They say that Keane sees Cole as the perfect partner for Kenwyne Jones. However Celtic and Middlesbrough.

The Mail say that West Ham could offload big earners Lucan Neill (sic), Freddie Ljungberg and Kieron Dyer. I hear there is a big market for players that have been out for a season injured.
