No Buying For No Reason Says Gus

Gus Poyet insists that he will be making no money wasting signings during the transfer window, something that Sunderland have suffered from recently.

With the transfer window half past already, Poyet has only signed Marcos Alonso on loan, but that doesn’t mean there will be any mad buying as the window draws to a close.

Santiago Vergini looks like signing while it has been rumoured that Argentine striker Nacho Scocco and goalkeeper Mariano Andujar are both targets of the new boss.

But Poyet says that any player brought into the club in January will be for a reason and not just to freshen up a squad.

He told reporters “What I think it is it important to stress, is that we will not bring in players for the sake of it,” he said. “I promise you that.

“We are not going to get in someone just because we think they might come in useful at some stage.

“Whoever comes in, there have to be clear reasons for him coming in.’
