Can Jozy Altidore solve Sunderland’s scoring problems?

To call Sunderland toothless last season would be almost generous given that they scored just 41 goals in their 38 games – only QPR and Stoke scored less. So with that in mind Paolo Di Canio has been quick to add more firepower to his shot shy side in the form of American Jozy Altidore, a player who you will remember from a rather unsuccessful loan at Hull spell in 2009.
