The January window is more for teams haunted with the threat of relegation trying to bolster their squad. We will probably see Villa and Sunderland being active...followed by calls on here that we are being left behind clubs like Villa and Sunderland.
We have a very good well balanced squad and it appears a group from the academy pushing forward as well.
We always need to strengthen , but now it needs to be very specific, we need players as good or better than what we already have
and I am not sure if they will be available in this window.
Regarding Yarmolenko, am I wrong or does he play mainly on the right wing where Deulofeu plays and Lennon and Mirallas can play there as well.
Generally you are right mate, the jan window isnt for buying en mass of players unless you are staring down into the abyss. I feel as though you make one inspired signing at least and it could really kick start your season, like piennar coming back or jelavic etc
I use this as a example only but if the club went out in jan and signed yarmalenko for arguments sake, he comes in, plays brilliant for us, all of a sudden the whole team gets a lift from it and we start pushing more up the league. That is a good way to use the window, but in that reagrd i would assume we would have been doing the business since 1st september.
