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

Preston AwaydazeOur visit to Deepdale is on Saturday, with a 12.30pm kick off, and once again we’re live on Sky Sports. As the name Preston North End suggests, the stadium is a mile or so to the north of the town centre.
Leeds ease to comfortable win over DerbyThe game played out as most of the fans on both sides would have predicted, apart from the identity of the two goalscorers. It took a while for us to break down a stubborn Derby County defence, but once we had scored the two goals there was only going to be one way this game was going to finish.
Leeds drawn at home to Harrogate in the FA CupTonight’s draw for the third round of the FA Cup threw up several local derbies, and the most enticing of all must be our all-Yorkshire clash with Harrogate Town, with the two clubs being only 15 miles apart.
Disappointing Leeds go down at BlackburnOur defeat to Blackburn Rovers has caused plenty of moaning on social media, while Daniel Farke has blamed our hectic fixture schedule. But it was a shame the team picked the game with our biggest travelling support of the season to serve up one of their worst away performances.
Blackburn AwaydazeThis season’s trip to Blackburn Rovers is tomorrow with kick-off at 1.30, provided the pitch has dried out enough after last week’s postponement. Once again it looks like we’ll be taking the biggest away following in the Championship this season.
Farke sees room for improvement despite victoryLeeds duly went back to the top of the table with a fairly routine victory over Luton Town, but Daniel Farke thought the win should have been even more emphatic when he spoke to the BBC after the game.
Leeds fighting spirit wins through as we beat Swansea to go topLeeds were twice behind in this incredible game at Swansea City, and then seemed to have victory snatched away right at the death. But each time we fought back and our sheer determination finally secured the victory that we needed to finish the weekend on top of the Championship.
