O'Neill in no rush to bolster squad
The Aston Villa manager will take his players to Spain for the Peace Cup on Thursday, although Gabriel Agbonlahor, James Milner and Craig Gardner will all stay at home to rest.
O'Neill is keen to bring in some new faces as quickly as possible but maintains that he would be prepared to bide his time.
"Will we have players in by Thursday? I don't know is the answer," O'Neill told the Birmingham Mail.
"We want to try and strengthen the side and we will do our very best to do so but whether there's anybody in before Thursday or not I can't tell you.
"I don't get anxious. These things take time, like everything else, and you want to try and be as right as possible.
"If you are looking for immediate replacements for Martin Laursen and Gareth Barry, we are pressing on with that.
"We have enquired about quite a number of people and the ones we would like in I couldn't tell you that we would have anyone in by Thursday."
O'Neill feels he needs five new players and is not planning to let anybody leave until reinforcements have arrived.
He explained: "I think that if you have five quality players in that would be excellent. You're talking about players that could immediately take their place in a decent Premier League side.
"I would be hoping for everyone that goes out that we would be having at least somebody else coming back in again.
"Don't hold me to this, but I really probably wouldn't want to be losing players until we get some in.
"Do I want to end window with bigger squad than last year? Without doubt."
