With new signing Obafemi Martins set to make his debut today against Aston Villa, Roeder is hopeful of strengthening the squad further before Thursday’s transfer deadline. Roeder said: “Rome was not built in a day but it’s important that during this season, everyone sees progress from the team in the results we have and the performances we have. “We are working hard behind the scenes and hopefully, we will be able to add another couple of players before next Thursday.”
