I'm actually an optimistic person, despite this and the previous thread suggesting otherwise.
But we like many Championship clubs are handicapped by circumstances beyond our control in transfer windows.
Most of the time, we have to wait for Prem clubs to decide whom they want to release, sell or buy, especially if they are looking at a lower league player.
Eg: If a Prem club expresses interest in Lansbury and makes an offer, what can we do? Most players would prefer to play at the top level and also get the higher salary on offer, so it's hard for us to hang on to a player when a Prem club comes sniffing.
So if Lansbury is on Prem's club radar, we've gotta wait until the deal is done or fails, and that could force up to wait right up to Jan 31st. By that time, there might not a suitable replacement and we have to dip into the loan market instead.
Or if we want say Dorrans, we gotta wait until WBA get a replacement. Or in Hull's case with Hobbs, now that Wigan might be prepared
