Sunderland boss Steve Bruce wants to buy his loan duo Danny Welbeck and Nedum Onuoha.
Manchester City defender Onuoha and Manchester United striker Welbeck were outstanding in victory at Chelsea.
Bruce said: "Danny and Nedum were terrific. The sad thing for me is, 'How much will they cost to try to buy them now?'
"They're two loans we've been able to do, and you want your loan players to fit into the squad.
"Would I want them? Yes, if possible. We'll see whether it's possible in the future, but we've got them for a year. We'll speak to their respective clubs nearer the time, but they're exactly what we were looking for."
