Cats chasing AJ and Bellamy

Manchester City duo Adam Johnson and Craig Bellamy are the top two names on Steve Bruce's transfer wishlist at Sunderland. The Black Cats boss is reportedly hoping to pull off a double transfer coup before his side kick off the Premier League season at Liverpool on August 13.Former Middlesbrough winger Johnson's future at City appears uncertain and Bruce is hoping to take advantage by signing the 24-year-old England international on a season-long loan.However, City boss Roberto Mancini told reporters after Saturday's friendly win over an Irish XI in the Dublin Super Cup that Johnson was "100%" important to the first team and would not be leaving this summer.Bellamy's £90,000-a-week wages make any potential deal for him difficult, but Bruce remains hopeful of tempting the Wales striker to Wearside.
