Tony Mowbray says there is a 'developing' transfer situation at Sunderland with the club holding a recruitment meeting this afternoon. The Black Cats are keen to bring in players this month, with at least one striker to replace Ellis Simms - who was recalled by Everton from his loan spell on Wearside at the start of the month - and also a midfielder to replace Jay Matete, who was allowed to join Plymouth on loan last week, right at the top of their wishlist.
Mowbray was due to take part in a meeting this afternoon along with sporting director Kristjaan Speakman, head of recruitment Stuart Harvey, and others, for an update on the latest situation. "We have a recruitment meeting this afternoon, all the recruitment staff are in, and we'll be going through where we are on certain enquiries," said Mowbray.
"This one was thrown in [the diary] yesterday because something is developing and we need to discuss it and see what we all think. There are some other options come up in different positions which we all get sent to us and we study them on our laptops, and then we'll have an opinion on which road we think we can go down.
