Bruce wants Chelsea scout to return to Sunderland
Published 23:00 07/05/11 By Brian McNally Recommend

Steve Bruce is poised to bring former Sunderland striker and coach Bryan “Pop” Robson back to Wearside.

The ex-Newcastle, Sunderland, West Ham and Chelsea hitman is part of Frank Arnesen’s scouting team at Chelsea.

But with Arnesen leaving for Hamburg, Sunderland-born Robson is keen to move back.

Robson is in line for the title of chief scout as Bruce changes his scouting set-up following Ricky Sbragia’s exit.

Chelsea spend millions on kids from all over the place, so must be alright for them to trust him to scout for them?

There is also McEachran, Bruma, Sturridge, our own Billy Knott, Alex and Ivanovic were low profile signings that came good.

Could also have been responsible for scouting Shevchenko and Winston Bogarde like.
