Sunderland want Spurs defender after Richard Dunne snub

STEVE BRUCE will make a bid for Spurs defender Michael Dawson.

The Sunderland boss wants Dawson, 25, after being snubbed by Manchester City's Richard Dunne.

And Tottenham will do business if the Black Cats make an offer of around £6million.

Bruce also wants striker Darren Bent from the North Londoners, and would offer Kenwyne Jones in return.

steve, sell jones his heart dont look in it. Bent will score goals. Forget dunne, city dont want him.go for dawson or dare i say stephen taylor. Mackem trev.cornwall

NZSpur why would you swap Dawson & Bent for Jones and Dunne. As long as Dawson is playing next to someone experienced, he is good cover. Dunne is slow and older and will expect higher wages than Dawson, without being any better. Think Dawson looked ok after Harry came in. Not that keen on Jones either, yes he is strong and puts himself about, but never look like getting many goals. Bent will always get goals, but the ball bounces of him, so still think w should sell him, but we need to bring in more quality than Jones can provide.

Keep Daws Harry!! Let Bent go, but hurry up nd replace him, but with someone quality!! I think Crouch n Defoe , proved they can play together!!

Daws is the best centre half we have. Harry must know this. He sells him he will get major stick.
Daws is our Tony Adams, or John Terry!

NOT GOING TO HAPPEN SO FORGET IT.YOU DO NOT SELL A CB OF DAWSONS QUALITY.WHEN YOUR TWO OTHER CB'S HAVE HALF OF THE DURABILITY OF DARREN ANDERTONS GREAT GRANDMOTHER.

By spurs4ever.. Posted July 12 2009 at 9:31 AM.

Dawson is better than the other 2 injury prone centre backs.Foget about Jones,Harry you are not Pompey manager any more,set your sights a bit higher !!!

By clive kendall.. Posted July 12 2009 at 9:08 AM.

We should never sell a 100% er like Dawson. He may want out of course if he isn't getting a regular start.

everytime i see this fella play he works his socks off. great player keep him at the lane.

By barry wright.. Posted July 12 2009 at 8:22 AM.

I agree with NZSpur! Why oh why would we want Jones!

then again at least sunderland are going places. spurs sell, buy back then want to sell again. Spurs are the new feeder club for sunderland

By mike dawson.. Posted July 12 2009 at 7:02 AM.

If we get Dunne and Jones to replace them it sounds like a good bit of business all round!

By NZSpur.. Posted July 12 2009 at 3:31 AM.

Why would we swap Bent for Jones-at least Bent scores goals

By Richard.. Posted July 12 2009 at 3:56 AM.

Brucie better shake a leg whoever he tries to buy or he will miss out altogether
