Paolo Di Canio - 'I'd like to sign five more players'
Sunderland manager Paolo Di Canio has admitted that he would like the financial clout to sign five more players before the transfer window closes.
Di Canio has completely overhauled his squad during the close season, replacing a string of departures with 10 summer signings including Emanuele Giaccherini, Diego Cabral and Jozy Altidore.
The Italian has insisted that the influx of new players at the Stadium of Light has been done cheaply, while conceding that his side are still short in a number of key areas.
He told The Mirror: "We have brought in 10 players, but there have been exits.
"We have done very well, and have brought in players with much less money spent. But it would be perfect to have a left-back, two central midfield players, one winger and another striker. Five players.
"But we have to be realistic and there is no chance of that."
