The underfire boss has hinted that he may be interested in signing Middlesbrough midfielder Gary O'Neil.
Allardyce: "We're aware of the availability of Gary O'Neil from Middlesbrough.
"But at the moment we don't have any finances in place to move for any players.
"If that changes and the board tells me there is, then we'll have a look in the market.
"If it doesn't, then we stay with what we've got."
