Niall Quinn says more players will leave in January than arrive, but those arrivals will be quality signings. Quinn told Sky Sports News: "I think it is no secret that we are top heavy with players here.

"There is no sort of big owners throwing big demands on me - I run the club and they allow me to do it in my own way - but we are top heavy for nothing more than say sporting reasons," he said, adding too many players are perhaps trying to get in the team which can cause a problem or two.

"So I understand that and we will try and help out every player as best we can.

"So basically what I am saying to you is that there will probably be more outs than ins but if there is a touch of quality to be had somewhere and we think it's really good for the club then we are in a position to do that too and Roy and myself and the powers that be will look into that as the time comes."
