Talbot ready to buy

Brian Talbot is ready to buy to bolster Athletic’s goal shy squad. He has already identified a number of potential transfer targets and said, “I have a list containing maybe six names which I would consider bringing in, but whether I am successful remains to be seen. I will be making telephone calls to see whether they are available, if we can afford them and if they want to join us. When you inquire for 10 players, you normally get nine say no, so it won’t be easy.”
