I get not buying in January usually. It makes sense as the fees are inflated, players might be cup tied, might upset rhythms etc.
But we’ve got very little rhythm, we’re a gomez/konate injury away from a full blown crisis, and we’re looking pedestrian in attack.
If the long term plan is to bin slot off, then we should be treating second half of the season as (borderline) pre season and embedding some more new players.
This year was a transition due to the amount of business we did. Way things are going our defence is going to have similar teething troubles next year. Then we’re in to year 2 of transition.
