Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill wants transfer movement

Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill has reiterated his desire to strengthen the squad, with Carlos Cuellar the only signing completed so far this summer. The Black Cats have been linked to Wolves striker Steven Fletcher, who handed in a transfer request, although O'Neill would not refer to individuals. "We know we need to make improvements," O'Neill told BBC Newcastle. "It's important to freshen the squad if we can and we want to try to add some quality to the group." Wednesday's 1-1 draw at Derby County continued the Wearsiders' preparations for the forthcoming Premier League season, as part of a mini-tour of the East Midlands.
