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

Swansea City : Is this worrying or positive ? We are going to do what Luke Williams must be doing on a daily basis, and pulling his hair out (Apologies Luke drinks on us next time) We look at the Swans over the last eight games, but on those away primarily, and drill down into exactly where we see the issues.
The Swans fall to the usual mishaps, but it isn’t all bad It wasn’t all bad at Bramall Lane tonight, like West Bromwich Albion the Swans rode their luck, and it was only two errors which lost the game. Unfortunately they were the same errors that continue to impact on games, and indeed give the game away due to a total lack of awareness and game management.
Sheffield Utd v Swansea City : TEAM NEWS Tonight’s game at Bramall Lane is up there with one of the hardest games away the Swansea will face this season, especially in a three game week. The Swans have to be confident on getting something as much as Chris Wilder is.
Swansea City : Will Luke make a statement in his selections tonight ? Swansea City go into this evenings game against Sheffield United (7:45pm) at Bramall Lane in eleventh place in the Championship, that’s mid table. The points dropped from Sunday now having a greater impact on the clubs season right now, and indeed more than we expected prior to the Bristol City draw.
