It is and will be a quite window. I think the only way we'll see incomings is if there's a lad we've had on our radar for a little while and we're forced into an early move to stop another club from getting him. Other than that, the squad is pretty good as it is. You can't go buying players to replace Mo or Endo for 4 games and we've got, in theory, lots of lads coming back from injury in the coming 20 to 40 days or so.
Tsimi and Robbo are both touted for an early February return. Dom should be back next game or the one after. Both Baj and Thiago should be back around mid February or so.
Of course we could get unlucky and in the next couple of games and lose 2 more players, but its hard to go out and buy players based on that idea alone.
Bradley proved competent against PL level opposition which bodes well for us considering we've got TAA and Gomez who can both play the position.
My only wish is to find someone who can play the striker position and give us a reliable input of 10 to 15 goals for the remainder of the season as this would truly give us a huge push in securing games (we create plenty but don't finish enough) but, realistically, in that market, you won't find that in the winter and if you do, you're going to get ripped off (for example, Brentford already announcing they would need something outlandish to let Toney go). So with that said, stick Jota in the center and hope he doesn't get injured and those around him can up their goal input as Jota will at the very least create something for those around him if he doesn't go himself and score.
If we can manage to hit mid February with a relatively healthy squad and still performing at the current level then it will be a very interesting end of season.
