Thing is mate, I don't buy the limited market thing as much as it's made out, I think it's more like clubs are on much tighter budgets during the January window.
Fir example there's loads at Chelsea right now who are available who now want to move for more game time, same at City and likely around a lot if the top clubs with huge squads, throw in the guys who've got six months left so clubs are looking to try to recoup anything, those on 18 months that clubs don't want entering the last year with the big value depreciation and chance they'll leave on frees.
On top players which have fallen out of favour at clubs, and players at any club who financially just can't turn down solid offers for players.
Yeah some players simply won't be available due to a club needing them in a race for Europe or relegation fight etc, but there's also a whole host of players in the above category or who are at this teams who aren't really fighting for anything even at this stage.
Just look at our own squad, would we turn down any decent offer for say Doucoure, DCL, Patterson, Beto, Keane? Yeah a few of those are junk but DCL, Patterson and Beto definitely have value for some teams.
If we were say at comfortably mid table I'd suggest a lot more we'd listen to offers for etc.
You don't see anywhere near the signings for a good few reasons more than simply availability. A good majority of teams have spent up in the summer and have nothing really left - with PSR especially, some have managers on the edge so aren't throwing good money after bad, for the bigger teams in Europe a lot of their targets will be cup tied so the value they bring to the team is massively reduced, some teams are sat mid table and not in any danger but not gonna be able to push on to Europe so it's a case of why really bother spending in that situation, and all that adds up to less transfers meaning less money going into the market setting off chain reaction purchases.
But if you want to add players and quality ones too then the options are clearly there it's just you need to choose the ones you can get.
For example any club with the finances and pull who really really wanted to add KWP, Mcatee this January likely could get them, same for a lot of other players in the league, it's arguably the best time to buy from south America right now rather than mid season for them.
My nails naturally degrade after approx 7 days and my colours aren’t particularly colour fast.
I reserve the right to flip flop as results change
I have given Moyes the green light to bring in Walker-Peters this week for 5.5m
I'll let you know when I've given him the green light to sign a winger.
On another note, I watched Philogene with interest when he came on. A few times when Ipswich did attack and try to get the ball in the box, he was miles away, just ball watching 25 yards away and not looking to make any kind of run. That might change of course but I thought it was strange considering it was his debut and a chance to try and impress.

Theyre all on course to qualify and the vast majority of that list are competing for league titles. They're not gonna be listing anyone worthwhile on loan

Two clubs will miss out by the 29th Jan.
and maybe wanting to cut overheads.
Others may draw a Real Madrid in the knockouts and err on the side of caution.

Signing for Sheff Utd.
Agreed re Coleman.
Not sure Irish Sea wide enough for Keane and risk of Tsunami would be critical. But then I think of the goal against Palace and he gets a shake of the hand and thanks very much.
Young has done a job for us, way more than we thought he would. The lad is a credit to his profession.
While watching Doucoure trying to play football is not pretty, his goal against Bournemouth buys him a lot of forgiveness.
We will move on from the three of them and hopefully we will be able to look back at them as poor footballers in bad times.
