Sunderland to sign Chopra?

Last updated : 16 March 2004 By John Jenkin
It is being reported that Sunderland are to attempt to lure Michael Chopra to the Stadium of Light on loan till the end of the season.

However, Chopra is unsure whether to join Sunderland as he is Newcastle through and through.

If Chopra was signed, then he could feature in Sunderland's FA Cup semi final with either Tranmere or Millwall as he is not cup tied.

Chopra went on loan to Watford last season and took Tommy Smith's place in the semi final's after beating Sunderland.

Tommy Smith may feel threatened by Chopra after the heart ache of missing out on last years semi, but on a personal note, I think he should stick with his skunk friends and we'll stick with our Tommy Gun!!
