It's not a race. January is an awful transfer window and even if we don't sign anyone that's completely fine.
I don't care how shit January is for transfers, we need players and we need them now! An attacking Mid and utility defensive cover for CB and LB.
The squad we have right now will not absolutely nothing this season.
Our season is already over. What would we be buying for? We're not getting top 4 and one or two january transfers aren't going to make much difference in cup competitions. We just need to take the L and strengthen in the summer. No panic buys.
This. Can't believe people want to sign players just to sign them.
What happens if we sign Kurzawa this window on a 5.5 year deal and he turns out to be another injury table all-star? That's just more deadwood we'll have to shift.
The only signings we should be looking at are 6 month loans (unless we find a fantastic deal like Minamino but that's a tall order with only 12 days left in January).
We're still mathematically in contention for top 4 and the EL, so I'm fine with going all out in them. But tbh, if 4th isn't within 8 points come mid-March, then I'm fine with ditching the league and completely focusing on winning the EL. In terms of league positions, I'd rather miss out on the EL next season and have complete focus in the league if we're not getting CL.
