Nigel Adkins hinted he would consider bringing in free agents to the club if he felt they could quickly slot into the team. The Southern Daily Echo reports.
The Saints have been busy in the transfer window and brought in Nathaniel Clyne, Steven Davis, Jay Rodriguez and Gaston Ramirez- possibly the biggest signing of them all.
Adkins admits he constantly receives phone calls, enquiring as to whether he will offer certain players a chance at the club.
He said: “There was mass speculation on the transfer window shutting and then it shuts and within a few hours the phone is going again.
“(People say) ‘Oh, this player is now a free agent, do you want him?’ – this, that and the other.”
Despite bringing in a host of new signings, the south coast side have yet to adjust to life in the Premier League- losing all three of their opening games.
It does not get any easier for Adkins’ men as they prepare to face Arsenal at The Emirates tomorrow.
The manager may consider bringing in reinforcements, but he stressed the need on finding good players who would not disrupt the team spirit.
“Winning teams have great team spirit but, likewise, you’ve got to keep improving all the time”, he added.
