With the European transfer window opening up again on January 1, TSN. Pittsburgh Pirates Jerseys .ca takes a daily look around the soccer world at the latest rumours and reports heading into what is sure to be another busy period of transactions. Cat-astrophe in the Making? Sunderland has found themselves in a relegation scrap over the last two seasons and if the team continues to play in their current form, a repeat peformance is likely come May. With only two wins in its first 16 matches, Sunderland currently sits 15th in the table and a scant two points above the drop zone. As another nervy last half of the season seems likely, manager Gus Poyet is stressing the need for reenforcements to help steer the ship to safety. “If we don’t get more quality in, it will be 38 games and 38 points, Poyet told the Mirror. If we lose two or three, everyone will start panicking and having heart attacks. 38 points from 38 games is not good enough for me. That is what we got last year. Poyet says hes spoken to the teams director, Lee Congerton, already about the need for help, but is unsure if its coming to the Stadium of Light. “I want more quality, said Poyet. Do I think I’ll get it? I don’t know. You know what is missing. It is clear what we need to do. That is down to recruitment. What Poyet needs help with most is scoring goals. The Black Cats have only scored a paltry 14 goals this season, good for third worst in the Prem. Jozy Altidore and Connor Wickham have cut anonymous figures for most of the season, while Steven Fletcher leads the team with four goals. If goal differential comes into play when it comes time for relegation, as it has in the past, Sunderland will want to bag as many goals as possible and Poyet is right to question whether or not this group is capable of producing offensively. The Stroot-ford End? Since Louis van Gaal assumed control at Old Trafford, just about every single player on his Netherland international team has been linked with Manchester United, but theres one name that wont go away: Kevin Strootman. With Roma crashing out of the Champions League in the group stage earlier this month, now could be the time that the defensive midfielder joins his former national coach on the red side of Manchester. ESPN FCs Miguel Delaney reports that Uniteds chances of capturing the 24-year-old have increased with the Giallorossis exit from Europes top competition. Though Roma has publicly denied their intentions (even just last week) of moving Strootman, who only recently returned from a knee injury that kept him out since March and out of the World Cup, they might have trouble turning down an offer of ￡30 million for the player. While Uniteds need for a defensive midfielder has been evident for some time, van Gaal could be tempted to add another player in January, considering the current dearth of defensive options at his disposal. All of Marcos Rojo, Daley Blind, Chris Smalling and Luke Shaw are currently on the shelf with a variety of injuries. Familiar Faces? One of the hallmarks of Harry Redknapps lengthy managerial career has been his tendency to bring former players with him to his latest coaching destination. On such player is Stoke Citys Peter Crouch, who played for Redknapp at both Portsmouth and Spurs, and he could be joining him again at QPR. Redknapp and his coach staff flew to Malaysia on Wednesday to meet with club chairman, Tony Fernandes, to discuss January transfer targets with help up front at the top of the list. The Daily Mirror reports that Crouch fits the bill perfectly and Redknapp would love to have his former charge back on his squad. In 14 league games this season, Crouch has found the net four times. Only Charlie Austin (with eight) has that many goals for QPR, so the need for forward help is obvious. Another player who will likely be sounded out again by Redknapp is Toronto FC striker Jermain Defoe, who Redknapp attempted to sign in the summer and had agreed to personal terms with the 31-year-old.

It paid off for the backup catcher Wednesday night. One night after grounding out in a nine-pitch at-bat against Rodriguez, Stewarts single keyed a three-run burst in the ninth inning and sent the Pirates past Milwaukee 4-1, ending the Brewers three-game winning streak. "I saw quite a few pitches from him (Tuesday) night, so I think that helped going into the at-bat," Stewart said. "He stayed away from me (Tuesday) night, so it gave me a read on what he was going to try and do in that situation." Rodriguez (1-1) threw two quick strikes to Stewart, but left a changeup high on the outside corner of the plate on his third pitch and the Pirates catcher belted it to centre, allowing pinch-runner Clint Barmes to score from second with the go-ahead run. "It was a big swing of the bat for us," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. Rodriguez had given up only one run in 21 innings in his first 21 games. But the Pirates tagged the Milwaukee closer for four consecutive hits to beat the Brewers for only the second time in nine games. Rodriguez said he was having a trouble with all his pitches and left both his fastball and changeup high in the strike zone against the Pirates. "Unfortunately, it wasnt my day," he said. "I didnt perform at the level I was expecting or everyone else was expecting. You just have to turn the page quick and be ready for the next day." Milwaukee managed only six hits and went 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position minus Carlos Gomez.

Pirates starter Francisco Liriano rebounded from two straight mediocre outings, but remained winless in nine starts. He received his fifth consecutive no-decision after allowing one run on four hits and a walk while striking out seven in six innings. "I expect the best is yet to come from Frank," Hurdle said. "Its just what I believe. Its the time of the year for him when he normally makes his move." Milwaukee starter Wily Peralta had another strong outing, giving one run on five hits and a walk while striking out four in seven innings. The right-hander received a no-decision but lowered his ERA to 2.05 in eight starts. Herrera, Gomezs replacement, went 0 for 4 and grounded out to strand Khris Davis at third in a 1-all game to end the seventh.
