The Daily Discussion - 'Dear Santa. For Xmas My Team Would Like...."

By The Stock

The biggest January transfer failure ever?

As November draws to a close, manager's thoughts will be turning to one of the most difficult periods of the season: Christmas and New Year.

Not only are clubs faced with a fixture list more congested than Rick Waller's major arteries, but will also be looking toward the impending January transfer window with a mixture of anticipation and dread.

For some clubs, the January transfer window cannot come soon enough. In the Premier League, the emergence of Man City as serious title challengers and Spurs as genuine top 4 contenders, means that like the poor passengers on the Titanic, clubs are quickly realising that six teams battling for four places on the 'Good Rescue Ship Champions League' is going to end in tears for some.

At the wrong end of the table, Wigan, Bolton and Blackburn have endured torrid starts to the season and surely must be looking to strengthen. The promoted trio of QPR, Norwich and Swansea have all shown tangible evidence that they are capable of staying in the promised land. Blackpool fans, however, can attest to how quickly that can change.

So, in an ideal world, what would you ask Santa for and most like to see flashing on the Sky Sports Breaking News banner relating to your club?
