Sunderland manager Gus Poyet insists his club will not purchase players for the sake of it during the winter transfer window.
The Black Cats find themselves sitting 14th on the Premier League table, just four points clear of the drop zone, but Poyet says there is no need to panic when assessing whether or not fresh faces are required at the Stadium of Light.
"Everyone is looking for that special player, the one who will do something special for you without needing to train or teach or coach too much but there are not that many so it is very difficult," he said.
"The idea here is to stay calm, know where we are, be realistic and keep working hard. We will try to find players if it is possible, not to panic and set up any target of numbers of players or positions.
"We want the best player in the world very cheap, nice-looking, he can score goals, he can run, sprint. But it's difficult, very difficult. We are working, I can tell you we are working very hard.
"Are we going to bring in someone? Are we going to buy him, loan him? We will see, it depends on so many things.
"We are working very hard. It's not easy, but we will see."
