January market is weird though

Everyone is more expensive - which needn't be an issue as we'd need to sell to buy anyway I shink so would get inflated prices on those sales which we could then use to buy at inflated prices - and, again, it's not like FIFAxx where there's a bunch of quality DCMs sitting on the shelf and you just pop in and get one and they instantly fit with the rest of the squad personality and performance wise.

Obviously like everyone I'd like us to do some business this window and would be excited if we did. But I'm not expecting it.
