I know its a cliche,but not many players get sold at that time if theyre doing well at their club,we done well to get Ash. And not many foreign players hit to ground running,especially if they join a team in the wrong half of the table with a lack of confidence. But this is why GH is on a good wage to find a couple of players who can add to the team in January.
But i remember when Sir Brian took over,and adding 2 or 3 faces which gave the team a boost(i know they nearly messed it up in the end!)we need something similar now.
