Sunderland Want A Currie

Last updated : 23 August 2006 By Martyn Bowers
The Black Cats' season is in turmoil after their 5th straight defeat at the hands of League 2 strugglers, Bury, in the Carling Cup.

Therefore they have spent the last few days wheeling and dealing frantically as they look to strengthen the squad before the transfer window closes.

However, they face competition from Coventry to sign the 29-year-old, ex-Brighton player.

A bid of around £250,000 - the amount Ipswich payed Brighton in 2004 - would probably prise Currie away from Portman Road.
