Sunderland manager David Moyes insists he NEEDS to sign more players before the transfer window shuts to bolster his ‘bare bones’ squad.
The Scot tasted defeat in his first game in charge at the Stadium of Light on Sunday as his Black Cats were beaten 2-1 by Middlesbrough in the Wear-Tees derby.
And his lack of options and squad depth was obvious, with the boss forced to field a number of inexperienced youngsters and players who aren’t 100 per cent match fit.
Sunderland were forced to make three changes against Boro after centre-back Younes Kaboul sealed a move to Watford this week and Fabio Borini picked up an injury, while Lamine Kone was banned from the match-day squad amid links with a move to Everton.
