We simply cant afford to make 1 single more mistake in the transfer window. Years gone by you could sign 3-4 players, hoping 1 comes really good, 2 offer something and the 4th you write off as a risk worth taking.
We don't have that option at all right now, we simply have to get each one spot on and each one will need to be first team ready.
I meant to add - that's why I'm not surprised by the lack of movement so far. Everyone will have to be in agreement and everyone will have to agree on the price willing to be paid for the interested player
