However, he did once again insist efforts are ongoing and he is not concerned about being left short. “Behind the scenes is behind the scenes,” Le Bris told reporters when asked. “At the moment I am really focused on the team. We performed well against Cardiff with these players. “Obviously we want to improve the team and we know that if we have the opportunity we will do it, but it’s not an easy market. Many teams are searching for different positions, especially strikers.
