Bruce open to more Cats deals
Sunderland boss Steve Bruce has refused to rule out making more new signings but admits he is already happy with his dealings.[LNB] The Stadium of Light manager has made nine buys this transfer window, as the Black Cats look to improve on last season's 10th-place finish in the Premier League.[LNB]Amongst the new arrivals are former Manchester United duo Wes Brown and John O'Shea, but Bruce is always open to improvements.[LNB]"A manager's job is to keep knocking on the chairman's door, we don't want to be satisfied because we've got to keep improving," he told Sky Sports News.[LNB]"And if there's somebody who can improve us and it's right, then we'll look at it. But we're very, very happy with what we've done.[LNB]"We're very close to having a squad which resembles what we're looking for. But we're never satisfied us managers, so never say never."[LNB]Including loanees, Bruce has offloaded 10 players, and he admits there could be more departures from Wearside.[LNB]"I envisage one or two will be leaving the building, I would have thought," he said.[LNB]One of those likely to leave is Steed Malbranque, who is likely to return to France with St Etienne before the week is through.[LNB]Marcos Angeleri and George McCartney are also possible departures hinted at by Bruce.[LNB]"Steed's deal is in advanced talks and we might have something to report soon," Bruce said.[LNB]"Steed has one year left and we are in a position where we have decided to say OK he can go. [LNB]"We have not got a natural left midfielder but you tell me where they are. It is time Steed moved on and we wish him well.[LNB]"It might be two, three or four leaving in the next few days. [LNB]"We could also see Angeleri head back to Argentina with Estudiantes and George might be going too."
