Sunderland boss Gus Poyet has hinted at frustration over missing out on Liverpool striker Fabio Borini.
Poyet is still a striker, and possibly another full-back, short of what he would have liked in his squad having strongly pushed to secure the services of Borini after a £14m fee was agreed in July.
And the Sunderland head coach, who took part in some football tennis with his squad during training, said: "It is very easy to say that I am happy because then everyone would be delighted. I'm alright, but I wouldn't say I am happy.
"We expected to have a certain number of players, we were close to doing a couple of important things, but we tried. We tried our best. What we got was the best we could do. I don't want to reflect on how it went because it is not fair."
