Coleman reveals transfer plans

CoventryChris Coleman says he is targeting young players that will not only take Coventry to the Premiership but keep them there.

Coleman says he will resist the temptation to bring in experienced Premiership players who are looking for one final pay day and will instead target youth.

"We are trying to get a good balance and blend in the squad," Coleman revealed. "Keiren Westwood is 23, Aron Gunnarsson is just 19 and Guillaume Beuzelin is 28. We are not trying to get free transfers in from the Premier League who are 33 or 34 to give big money for a year - we are not looking to give anyone a pension.

"We are looking to get players who are hungry and want to succeed and progress, and all three we have got fit into that category. You see a lot of players from this league go up and bounce straight back down, but we don't want to be doing that."
