So who do we think are going to splash some cash in Jan? And which positions?
- City - I can't see them buying anyone as they don't appear to me to have any gaps in the squad, just a need to gel the players they do have.
- Chelsea - again, will they buy anyone? What they need is a dominant CF (Lukaku) as I think the rest of the team is strong. Maybe they will get in some extra bodies in defence (or even GK?) as the Chelsea of old was known for not conceding.
- Arsenal - They need a striker, and maybe more experienced players than Gibbs/ Jenkinson/ Monreal so they might buy a full back with a couple of years left of his career? I also think this is the best position they will find themselves in at Jan for years to come and so it is definitely the time to buy a striker if they can find the right person.
- United - not sure exactly what to say here. They need something, but I can't really place what. I would have said a more dominant CM to partner Carrick, and more consistent wingers. Are they realistically going to buy anyone though? Fans will be pleading for activity in Jan but I don't follow them enough to know what/ who they need. Personally I think they need Kagawa to be playing!
- Spurs - with a new manager coming in, he will want to buy a player or two but ultimately he has a very good squad at his disposal.
- Liverpool - I think we'll buy a Will Hughes type player ("one for the future" etc etc) and loan them back to their club. I would also expect another striker to come in as back up for Sturridge and Suarez. Flanno has been very solid at LB so I don't know if we will buy in Jan for this position with Enqirue to return in a few weeks.
