Keane set for Baines pain

  Sunderland boss Roy Keane is eyeing an ambitious raid on Wigan for their £6m-rated left-back Leighton Baines, according to reports.
  
  England Under-21 international Baines was part of Stuart Pearce's side at the recent European Championships and Latics would be loathe to lose the youngster.
  
  It is claimed JJB chief Chris Hutchings is ready to offer Baines the Wigan captaincy in a bid to ward off any interest from the Black Cats.
  
  Hutchings is trying to rebuild his defence and has already stated that he wants to increase the pace in his backline.
  
  Latics allowed Arjan de Zeeuw, Matt Jackson and David Unsworth move on at the end of last season and it is unthinkable he would be tempted to cash in on Baines.

  Seriously, i think if Keane manages to bring in players like Baines, Craig Gordon or maybe even Alan Smith.
  
  Sunderland will surely be a force to be reckoned with.
