Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill says he'll spend the final ten days of the summer market trying to bring in new players.
Speaking after yesterday's 1-1 draw at Arsenal, O'Neill said: "I will try because we have 10 days and after that we are on our own for four months.
"It is not the biggest squad and we are going to try to supplement it if we can, but that might be easier said than done.
"The takeover
bid has been accepted and at some stage it will happen but it might not happen in time. It might be late September.
"It is a genuine concern but I am not in control of that.
"I would have loved to postpone the start of the season for three weeks or postpone the transfer deadline."
