GARY O’Neil is hopeful Cherries can “improve” their “fantastic” squad, with the transfer window now open again. Clubs in England have until Tuesday, January 31 to conclude deals to strengthen for the second half of the season. He has previously stated his hope to add “four or five” new players to the squad in this window. Asked if the performance against Crystal Palace has heightened the need for additions,
Gary O’Neil said: “No, I don’t like to react to things quickly. I think we’ve achieved a decent points tally in the last few games with the group we’ve got. They’re a fantastic group. The transfer window opens and, as with the other 19 teams in the league, we’ll be looking to improve. It’s not always easy in January. Sometimes it’s a tricky month to get good players out of where they are. But we will be looking to improve. Hopefully help the boys we’ve got here, who are a great group, work their socks off – honest, have quality. But if we can add to that, of course it helps our chances.”
