Dean Saunders frustrated at lack of Wolves signings
Wolves boss Dean Saunders today admitted his frustration at the low-key transfer business in the loan window.
Just two players arrived on loan – free agent keeper Marian Kello and Wigan winger Nouha Dicko – despite the club losing three players for the rest of the season through injury.
Burnley rejected Wolves' enquiry for striker Martin Paterson, one of many players the club was turned down for.
Saunders revealed yesterday the board, who met with him on Tuesday, were unwilling to sanction one more permanent salary, which is effectively what a loan player would have become as all targets wanted a contract at the end of the season.
The club's £25m players' wage bill is the second highest in the Championship and the board are concerned at the risk of dropping into League One and the Financial Fair Play regulations soon to be introduced.
"You're never satisfied – we lost three players two weeks ago – but we have to get on with it," said Saunders. "I've got bosses to answer to. They have look at the finances and decide what's right for the club."
