Martin O'Neill says he'll hold talks with owner Ellis Short over freeing up some cash to ease his injury crisis in the transfer window. A patched-up Black Cats team produced a remarkable performance on Sunday to beat Manchester City 1-0, Ji Dong-won's injury-time strike proving the difference. Having fielded a side with no recognised full-backs O'Neill suffered yet another setback when Wes Brown was forced off in the first half with a groin strain. With so many players out through injury or illness, O'Neill hopes to talk to Short about giving him some cash in order to bolster his options and build on their recent good run of form. O'Neill told the Shields Gazette: "I wish he'd been at the game yesterday to see the spirit himself, but I'm sure he was watching on television. "He's been delighted with the results, but the injuries are a bit of a concern and I will be having a conversation with him to see what we can do in the transfer market." reakon eliss will be more then happy with the resent results and will give him whatever he wants
If we do get anyone, I feel that it will be the odd loan deal or perhaps a low cost signing..You rarely get good value for money in the January window, and MON will be very conscious of this..
I think it will be fairly low key signing too. With Campbell ready to start playing our need for a striker may be eased until the summer when big money may well be spent. I reckon no more than 5m to 8m will be spent this month by Mon.
