    Sunderland boss O'Neill eager to buy in January


    Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill is eager to buy in January.

    O'Neill admits he needs to strengthen his flagging squad.

    He said: "I think that we will have to be looking at trying to strengthen the squad in January - without doubt.

    "Both me and the owner want to deliver a team that, not only will the fans be delighted with but it will compete."

    Why didnt they do this in the summer, and everyone knows you put a 30% (at least) premium on players in the January transfer window. unless they are called Fletcher and Johnson then its a 60% premium in the summer :(

    Someone should give him a squad list to let him know we have more strikers than Fletcher & Saha!

    I personally think we need to buy a spine for the team, a CB, a CM and another striker. Saha is not up to scratch and we do not have anybody else who is good to work with Fletcher. We desperately need a creative midfielder and we do not need a CB who is old and crock!

    Chris Samba
    James Morrison
    Tom Ince.

    Looking at £20million plus, but we would be instantly awesome.

    I would also take Bent back for cancellation of remaining debt, and finally Danny Danny Rose, better than Pele.

    Hope he's going to get rid of a few as well. Kick out the under performers to keep the rest on their toes.

    Morrison would be a great signing. Catts aside we need a "Petrov" type O'Neill player to hold the ball and dictate play. Unfortunately that don't grow on trees
