Bruce enjoyed another hefty spree in the market over the summer, bringing nine players to the club for a total figure of around £18m.
The Sunderland manager has been backed by his board since arriving at the club in the summer of 2009, but he is fully aware that the Wearsiders want to see a return on their investment this term.
And Bruce knows he will not be splashing owner Ellis Short's cash when the market reopens.He said: "We're never ever satisfied as managers, that's just the way we're made - there's always someone else out there you would like, someone who could strengthen your team or add a little extra.
"However, I do believe that I now just need time to work with what I've got. We can't just keep asking the owner to keep putting his hand in his pocket.
"He did it again over the summer and I'm very pleased with that because we brought in some top-class players and right at the end of the window we broke the club transfer record to bring in a major player in Asamoah Gyan."
