Jewell wants fresh blood

Jewell wants fresh blood

20 December 2007 - 11:03

Paul Jewell has admitted that Wigan are unlikely to sign top class players in the January transfer window, but will instead be looking to bring in some 'fresh blood' to help them out of the Premiership relegation zone.

  • Predicted Man Utd line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Crystal Palace, Evans starts
  • Mikel Arteta insists 27yo star won't be leaving Arsenal

  • "To have six points in December, it's going to take some massive turnaround," he told The Times.



    "Am I going to get top- class internationals wanting to come here in January? No. I want five or six new faces, to freshen it up - I'm used to working amid a lot of noise and big characters at Wigan, I want it more vibrant - and to give this squad some help.



    "Given the right backing, I believe we can attract top-quality players here."



    "I don't want to be waving a white flag, but I'm also a realist. In the next two years, Derby County can be in the market for top-quality players. I'm not prone to outlandish predictions, but this club can establish itself in the top ten, the top eight of the Premier League."
