The Roker Roundup: April 17th 2012 - SAFC Eyeing Triple Midlands Swoop?

Time for another Roker Roundup. Our collection of the most readworthy Sunderland news and articles (done by other people) from today.

And today is April 17th 2012, and on this day in SAFC history, legendary fullback Joe Bolton made his debut for the club at home to Watford in a 5-0 win in 1972. Bolton played over 270 times for the club between 1972 and 1981 before moving down the A19 to Middlesbrough.

Back to today though, here's all the SAFC news that's been of note today...

According to several reports, we're lining up a move for Wolves' Scottish striker Steven Fletcher. He's someone who many fans seem to want, and would fit the fabled build of a "Martin O'Neill Type Player". With Wolves all but relegated, they could be ready to offload him - CLICK HERE

Not content with heading to the Midlands to snap up Fletcher, we're also being linked with WBA midfielder Keith Andrews, and Aston Villa defender Carlos Cuellar today as part of some sort of triple move - CLICK HERE
