Newcastle United boss Joe Kinnear has ruled out bringing in any free agents ahead of the January market.

Kinnear said: "I have had a long look at UEFA's list of players who are out of contract and available to join other clubs. It is actually a massive list.

"It is full of players who have only played two games for their clubs, and they are not the sort of players I want for Newcastle United.

"Those type of players are not going to improve us and, to tell the truth. I already have better players here, even those who are on the fringe of the first team."
