Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill says all player contract talks are on hold.

Defenders Titus Bramble and Matt Kilgallon are in the final months of their current agreements, and Bramble has consistently said he would like to stay.

O'Neill told the Sunderland Echo: "Now, at this minute, the most important issue is trying to get points on the board. I know it's a cliche, but those things can wait."
