Roy Keane ready to spend £50million warchest

Roy Keane has be handed a £50million warchest to take Sunderland onto the next level.

Finishing 15th, Keane has endured a rather difficult season in his first year in the Premier Leauge as a manager. However, now he is determined to see the club become an established top flight side.

According to the Daily Telegraph, “Among Keane’s targets could be the Atletico Madrid striker Diego Forlan, a former Manchester United team-mate; Chelsea midfielder Steve Sidwell, whose £50,000-a-week wage demands could prove a hurdle; Jonny Evans, the £7 million-rated United defender; and Celtic winger Aiden McGeady, who could cost £10 million.” Fellow Irishman and Reading player, Stephen Hunt, has also been linked with Keane this summer.

The Irishman has already spent £44million since the Black Cats booked their place among England’s elite back in 2007, but will seemingly be given free reign to splash out again this summer.
