CITY STILL CHASING LOANS BUT IT'S NO CHOPRA, NO CRY

With the Black Cats fighting relegation, boss Roy Keane declined Cardiff City's official approach to take Michael Chopra on-loan for the remainder of the season.

Chopra has been sparing used at Sunderland, often played on the wing, usually appearing from the bench and currently not in the matchday 16 so it's no surprise to hear whispers that he would love to come back, particularly as he is eligible to play in the F.A. Cup but it's not to be.

City are also believed to have made yet another approach - it must be their third or fourth - to bring back Rob Earnshaw on-loan and, perhaps, with Derby certain to be relegated, it suggests a chance of success but this has more of a chance but to counter-balance that, he started for Derby vs Man United last weekend and is cup-tied so it doesn't seem to be an obvious choice.

Another whisper is that City are considering Henri Camara, the Senegalese international, on loan at West Ham from Wigan but getting little action and none at present.

The loan window closes next Thursday so City certainly need to move fast.
