Martin O’Neill is frustrated that the funds might not be there in time for him to make any real impact in the transfer market but also says they are doing what they can.

Reports are suggesting we are about to sign Celtic midfielder Stilian Petrov and that rumour has grown since Celtic bought Thomas Gravesen.

O’Neill said: ‘It is depressing that we have only three days to go, but we will try and do something about it, definitely. The players at the football club need a bit of help. It would be really important for us to get some people in. I know that, I don’t need people to keep reminding me about the deadline. It is really important.’

Adding: ‘In terms of the football club itself, it would be nice but if it doesn’t materialise, and I’m not putting a dampener on it – far from it – we will still try and bring some people in, even if they end up being loans. We will try and do something because we need the squad bolstering.’

He also explained that he didn’t want to let Kevin Phillips go but Super Kev was keen to move to get more games.
