Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has failed in his attempts to persuade Sunderland to loan Carlos Edwards to the Championship leaders.

"Carlos is staying at Sunderland," McCarthy told the club's official website.

"I've spoken to Ricky who said he played well against Bolton and he's staying.

"If it's any consolation I told him that I'd have kept him as well, but I only did that after he told me his decision!"
