Sven: more signings needed
Man City's fine start to the season has not changed Sven-Goran Eriksson's mind about signing new players during the January transfer window. Man City have put in some superb performances of late, but Eriksson refuses to be fooled by a league position which places City above Liverpool and Chelsea and still does not believe he has enough cover.
"We will be bringing some new players into the club in January," said Eriksson. "That is what I have heard and the people above me are saying yes.
"I don't see any big problems but one thing that might be is injuries.
"I wouldn't say we have been lucky but there have only been a few so far this season and I think we might struggle if we get a lot."
It appears that Eriksson is not entirely happy with the performances put in by his high-flying Man City players.
"We are playing some good football with some good combinations but sometimes during the game we need to defend a bit better," he said.
"I am not talking about the four defenders really, more the fact it is too easy to play through us on some occasions.
"I have already told the players. When they come back from duty with their national teams, they know what we are going to work on."
