The strange thing is, we don't seem to have acknowledged that market inflation has occurred.
Considering the prices paid by the likes of City (how many of their signing were even on the radar of the big clubs?), Real, Chelsea and Bayern, with their stockpiling of midfielders, there is a premium to be added to quality mids.
As the window draws to a close, we are the equivalent of a shopper on Christmas eve, looking for a cheaper turkey. Eventually, the one legged 50 pounder that won't fit in the oven, or the processed roll will be our only options.
If we are serious about buying, we will have to pay up, or do without. (Give the butcher £100 for his family's dinner)
I can't see us improving this window. Promoting from within though, may well turn out to be a blessing in disguise, as I believe Lingard and Januzaj could break into the first team in style, this year.
