Keane Sunderland misfits Chopra and Stokes sold off cheap

Published 00:00 02/07/09 By By Football Spy

Sunderland have taken a £3million hit on two Roy Keane flops.

Michael Chopra sealed a £3m return to Cardiff - £2m less than former boss Keane paid the Bluebirds for the striker two years ago.

And Anthony Stokes is set for a £1m move to Scottish side Hibernian - half the figure shelled out for the former Arsenal forward in 2007.

Hibs will use part of the £3m Burnley paid for Scotland striker Steven Fletcher on Stokes, after Sunderland refused their bid to take the 20-year-old on a season's loan.
