Said the City boss to Sky Blue World: "Before Saturday might be too early but we are certainly looking to do one or two bits of business early next week.
"We would like to get players in that are for the long term future of the Club, that's the key, so if we can get them in the loan window with view to doing something permanent in the summer then great.
"But if not, we have to bring in the right personnel to fill a hole. "We're definitely hopeful that we will add one, two or maybe three to the squad before the next transfer deadline day
