Sunderland boss Roy Keane is warning everyone about getting too carried away with the potential strike pairing of Djibril Cisse and Kenwyne Jones. Keane told the Sunderland Echo:"I am not really excited yet. I will be pleased when Kenwyne is back in the first-team fold.

"I suppose punters out there or media will automatically think it's a dream partnership, but sometimes it doesn't work out that way.

"We believe when Kenwyne is fit and with our other strikers, they can be a handful.

"Sometimes you are only as good as your goalscorers. You see that with a lot of teams, you see that with a lot of international teams.

"If you have got somebody capable of putting the ball in the back of the net, my God, it makes a hell of a difference to you.

"But again, we all have to be patient. Kenwyne has been out for a long time. We can't expect him to come back and hit the ground running.

"But we have got a busy time ahead and if he is available for us, like young Martyn Waghorn, those two lads have got a good chance of being involved over the next few months.

"But it might need two or three reserve games for them."
