Sunderland are taking a pro-active approach to the January transfer window, according to manager Chris Coleman
The Black Cats boss has revealed that various discussions have taken place within the club to ensure they can add quality to the squad, while also being prepared to respond to any potential outgoings.
Coleman is working closely with assistant manager Kit Symons, coaches Robbie Stockdale and Adrian Tucker, chief executive Martin Bain, and recruitment officer Neale McDermott.
And the Welshman states they will continue to endeavour behind the scenes in order to improve the squad.
“We’ve had a plan in mind,” said the Coleman.
“We’re working really along with Neale McDermott, who’s been helping out – he’s been brilliant – we’re looking at different options.”
He continued: “We’ve spent a lot of hours discussing it to see if we can add a bit of quality to what we’ve got, to help us out.
“It helps because I know Neale, and that’s a big help, he’s been great, working his socks off.
“Myself and Martin have been involved, Kit as well, Robbie and Tucks, it has been all of us in a room trying to churn it out, come out with solutions and answers.
“It’s inevitable we could lose one or two ourselves, so we’ve got make sure we’re pro-active so we don’t get caught short if that does happen.
“It could be an active transfer window – we could do with one or two faces to help us out – but time will tell whether that’s the case or not.”
