Mick McCarthy thinks his Wolves side are good enough to avoid relegation from the Premier League even if there are no new signings during the transfer window.
The manager ended 2009 with his side sitting in 15th place in the Premier League with 19 points from 20 games and he is confident the players at Molineux are good enough to remain in the top flight.
According to McCarthy, there is confidence throughout the playing squad after some impressive performances and the side is beginning to improve and look more comfortable in the Premier League.
He added that he would take a 17th-placed finish at the end of the season but is sure that his side is good enough even if he is unable to bring in any new faces before the transfer window closes.
“We are in a better position than some of the clubs. We are out of that bottom three. We’d like to be better off, obviously, but I think we are improving and getting better,” said McCarthy.
“I don’t know what business other clubs will do in January but, if we can’t do anything ourselves, then I am delighted with the squad I’ve got.”
The former Sunderland and Republic of Ireland manager recently moved to quash speculation that he was interesting in signing Newcastle striker Andy Carroll and also veteran Birmingham midfielder Lee Carsley.
