Coventry City manager Tony Mowbray has said that there is nothing in terms of signing any players at the moment.
Speaking to the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner, Mowbray said: “It’s a good question and I think there’s always progress when you’ve had conversations.
“There’s nothing in terms of anyone signing at the moment but I hope there’s progress.
“I’d like to think we’re close to concluding one or two but it’s never that easy because there’s always fine detail. You think you’ve done a deal and then there’s always something else that wants adding on.
"You have to get to stage where you say, ‘this is it, there’s no add on here and there,’ and then the agents always want to go away and talk to the player a bit more, so it can drag on.
“That’s why I have said before it’s a very early stage. Sometimes agents take your offer and go to other clubs and say ‘this is what I’ve been offered there, can you beat it?’
“That’s why I am not in any great rush. I understand supporters want to see some signings coming in, just as I do because I am sat here in my office and the board is looking very empty with holes all over the team at the moment. But they’ll fill up, hopefully with the right players.
“I have got no concerns at the moment. I’m not sitting here thinking, ‘oh gosh,’ because we’re just progressing things along.
“It’s not just me doing this. Mark Venus and Steve Waggott are doing certain things and Steve is involved because he's been doing it for a long time.
“As we move forward we’ll take more of that responsibility away from Steve who has a million and one other things to do as well.
"But hopefully together we’ll find the players we need to help us to do better than last season and progress to the top end of the table to see where we go.”
