Pearcing SWP

Manchester City boss Stuart Pearce has hinted he may try again for Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips in January.
Since selling SWP to Chelsea, Pearce has twice failed in bids to take the England winger on-loan, but hopes it could be third time lucky in the coming weeks.

"We are probably in the scenario now where I need to speak to the chairman and iron out what is going to happen in January," Pearce told the Manchester Evening News when asked if SWP was on his transfer radar.
"I need to know exactly what finance is available. As soon as I know that it will dictate the market place I will be in.
"January is not always an ideal time and I will always have to stick to the criteria that unless a player is going to improve us then there is no point bringing a body in.
"I think over the past windows I have got a little bit itchy and to be fair the more experience I have had in the job and in the market the better I have got equipped.
"In the first summer I got very itchy thinking that I hadn't brought anybody in but looking back and, now forward to the next window in January, I don't think it is worth bringing people in for the sake of it. You have to know in your heart that the player will improve the squad."
