Town's cheeky Wickham bid fails

Wickham joined the Black Cats earlier in the summer for a fee in the region of £8million, with add-ons, but has only played three times off the bench early in the Premier League campaign. Jewell said: "I spoke with Steve the other day and we were chatting about various things. "I thought he probably needed another year in the Championship and I said to Steve if they wanted to loan him back, we would take him. He, very cleverly, went on to another subject. "They bought him and he hasn't played but he might catch fire. He has certainly got the attributes and he is a man in body. But, football-wise, he is a boy."
