We're only weeks away from the winter window opening and a handful of elite clubs are already visibly short in one position. Waiting until summer feels like conceding the season. Which side do you think has to be the most aggressive the moment January 1 arrives, and what's the one signing that actually fixes them?
The clubs that need to act are the ones whose season is already defined by one missing position. You know who you are. Don't hide behind 'trusting the process'.
Anyone who says they'll wait until summer is lying to themselves. The gap's only going to widen by then. January or bust for a few of these clubs.
The trick is knowing which January signings actually settle. Half the winter moves are panic buys that never click. The right one is worth its weight in gold though.
