Because Martinez said he doesn't like buying players in January, or something.
Even though he was at Finch Farm till half 10 presumably scrambling around trying to get a half decent loan deal in to paper over the cracks.
*shrug*
It was prudence, of course we were looking for players and one might have materialised. Or a few might have, like Barry, McCarthy and Lukaku last time out.
The lack of action would indicate that the players we wanted just weren't there or at a price we consider value for money.
Its all well and good spending ten million on a sexy Spaniard or South American with stepovers but it will serve to appease the fans and not be the right strategy for improving.
Martinez has money to spend - not enough of it in my book like - and will do so in the summer when he is likely to get the players he wants.
Yes it ace that were in with a good chance this season or breaking in that top four but Martinez needs to be looking medium and long term too. If we overshot our hand and bought out of desperation this window it probably wouldn't have worked out and then we'd be shot for spending in the summer too.
I would have loved boss players to look forward to, who wouldn't? But its not always like that. No matter how Sky tries to serve that up to us all.
Hardly any of our competitors strengthened in this window. Were four points off fourth.
Leighton Baines is sex itself and will be doing all manner of naughty things in a blue shirt for many years yet.
Relax, we will be sound.
