The Winter transfer window is - generally speaking - not a good time for elite clubs to conduct transfer business. Typically, player selection is limited in the Winter window,; moreover available players will often be ineligible for UCL, having played previously in the competition for their current club.
That said, we need upgrades for our fullbacks and, unfortunately, Kompany seems to be always injured - so we could use another world class centerback.
Moreover, that Pep chose to play Fernando as our pivot against Spurs, with predictably disastrous results, argues that we desperately need another world-class player capable of playing the lone pivot as well (I don't think that Gundogan is quite capable of this; Garcia, on the other hand might fill this role, but since Garcia wasn't selected to play against Spurs, perhaps there's a question mark over Garcia as well).
So what do you think?
Will we try to conduct business in the Winter transfer window - and if so, whom do you think we'll try to sign?
