HDM Sport on Facebook WHETHER Jermain Defoe makes the switch to Hull City remains to be seen – but could Sunderland strike a swap deal with Toronto FC to land the forward? Defoe wants to be back in the Premier League and the Black Cats have made their interest known, according to the Daily Mirror. However, Sunderland want to offer Toronto their US striker Jozy Altidore– formerly of Hull City loan fame – in return for Defoe's services. The misfiring forward endured a barren run at the Tigers between 2009 and 2011, hitting the net just twice. It's not got much better at the Stadium of Light, where Altidore's scored just three times in all competitions. But Gus Poyet is now willing to offer Toronto the 25-year-old, but other MLS clubs New York Red Bulls and Portland Timbers are also keen. Can Steve Bruce persuade Defoe, who is back in training with former club Tottenham, amid City's current injury woes?Berahino berates critics after Tigers winner HE scored the match-winner against the Tigers, but why is Saido Berahino angry after helping West Brom beat Hull City at the weekend? Well, the £20m Liverpool target had a pop at journalists for pointing out his lack of celebrations in the Baggies' FA Cup rout over Gateshead last week. Having netted a 78th-minute winner from an indirect free-kick, following Ahmed Elmohamady's needless back-pass, Berahino berated the press who 'targeted' him. "I just think everyone is trying to bring a bad name to me because I'm almost a target out there," he told the Daily Star. "I'm always the one getting blamed and picked out. I just smile at it and keep my mouth shut. "The people who put me down, don't know me first of all. I don't understand why people were having a go at me for not celebrating. "It's not in the rules that you've got to celebrate when you score. I celebrated this goal because my sister was over there. Let's see if that celebration makes the headlines!"Bruce: It was one of those days SPEAKING of reaction to the West Brom defeat, Tigers defender Alex Bruce says the Baggies loss was 'one of those horrible, horrible days' to be a footballer. Speaking to TigersTV, the son of City boss Steve Bruce lamented the club's bad luck in the aforementioned back-pass from Elmohamady. Defensive frailties in the wall were also to blame, something which the 30-year-old is keen to fix up ahead of the trip to West Ham on Sunday lunchtime.Watch the full video below.
