Bruce hopeful over loan stars
Sunderland boss Steve Bruce is keeping his fingers crossed over loan signings Danny Welbeck and Nedum Onuoha.
The 19-year-old Manchester United striker Welbeck and his 24-year-old team-mate, who belongs to derby rivals Manchester City, are both on season-long deals at the Stadium of Light.
Bruce had been delighted with the contribution of the two men, particularly in recent weeks, and admits they are the kind of players he would like to keep.
Bruce said: "The one thing I have got to do is be respectful to their two clubs.
"They are two young players and they one thing they have benefited from is playing here, and that was the big thing.
"I have to say they are both great lads as well. They are just the type you would love to bring to your club and make them permanent if you could. Whether that's possible, we will see."
