I'd say there's plenty of reasons we can't get people in, with being abjectly shit for much of a decade, currently sitting 16th, not in London or the northwest, novice manager, all those pretty high on the list.

some of the Balti pies are cold and rock hard (depending on where you buy them)

There is 6 hours to go but it literally feels like fuck all is going to happen which would be a dreadful way to end the window and possibly once again leave us unequipped to deal with the demands for the rest of the season. Even one more striker loan could prove critical. Currently we don't have a forward on the books who has scored one PL goal. And while say a Bowen doesn't change that stat it at least gives us additional options to remain compeitive at that position. Not having depth yet again would be a really terrible position to leave ourselves in.

Pedantic point. Big Wes has scored PL goals and is definitely on the books.

The Peterborough lad Ivan Toney is up for sale. 18 goals this season and wouldn't cost the earth.

Looks like we’re going to gamble on sticking with what we have again. I hope nobody gets injured again from now until the season‘s end, or I may have an aneurysm.

Big gamble. Took a big gamble at the start of the season.... Taking a big gamble with the club's survival. One injury and we are back to square one.

On top of the usual challenges posed by the Jan window, it probably makes the pool of players we can realistically target very small.
