Sunderland Transfers: 10 Dream Alternatives To Fabio Borini
6. Danny Welbeck
Sunderland are already obviously looking at a return for a former loan star on Wearside, but if not Borini, then why not Welbeck if he's available? Manchester United do look as though they are prepared to listen to offers for anyone who in recent seasons hasnt made the grade. Despite his England call-ups Welbeck would certainly fit that billing, though his time on Wearside was one of the most productive of any loan deals in recent years. How Steve Bruce would have loved to have made that one permanent! Indeed the Hull manager might well be the main rival if a bidding process was to begin over the tall, leggy forward. Despite his tall frame, Welbecks game allows him to play out wide just as effectively. Though with the number of England caps already under his belt, it would be anyones guess what the final fee could be, perhaps a club record. Welbeck is another of those players whose all-round game improves when given a run in the team. His record in front of goal at United has been quite poor since his loan here, only scoring in fits and starts. But his ability to adapt from the wide position Poyet looks as though he wants to fill, into either a lone striker or into a number 10, could make him an attractive alternative.
