Hasenhuttl Confident Of Adding To The Squad Before The Transfer Window Shuts
Ralph Hasenhuttl knows he has problems, but he is confident of solving them in the transfer window, will he be able to do so though ?
Saints manager Ralph Hasenhuttl feels that as we head into the last week of the transfer window we will be able to bring in up to 3 new faces before the October deadline. The transfer window for overseas transfers closes at 11pm on October 5, with the time allowed for domestic deals extending through to October 16.
Now is the time that deals will start to get done and Hasenhuttl intends to be busy.
Asked if he would be happy to go into the rest of the season with the squad he currently has available, Hasenhuttl said: "No, I wouldn’t. But I know that we will get players in.
"Now comes the moment where I think some good opportunities are coming up, also maybe for us.
"I think the players who were our number one choice, it was not so easy for us to get them.
"But I think there are some other alternatives where we are still keen when they are coming to us, be it on loan or permanent.
"Either way I think we know we need a few, one or two players minimum we must get, maybe three."
That is good to hear, hopefully one will be an experienced central defender
