With a new year, January brings a Window...

That's right. January is here with all of it's respective psychosis. The transfer window is now open and the ITK's are all spreading the most fantastic rumors they can. Who will be the big players to move? Who will be the most active teams? All the questions that everyone wants the answers to. The quickest to answer would probably jump up and say Manchester City will be most active. But I don't think they would be right. There are three major clubs who need to do something now. Logically, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea need to do something. Arsenal are least likely to do anything, but if they plan to truly make a run at the title, they need a midfielder and striker at minimum. Chelsea are still at risk of not getting to make any moves in the summer and need to make sure the team can survive the next year with the players on their books. Liverpool is a special circumstance. They don't really need anyone on paper, but the form books say something different. The team is stricken with injuries and players simply not living up to their potentials. They are also struggling with the ego of a man who is looking more and more desperate by the day. They need a leader. Now, the problem for all these teams is that no big player is going to move before the World Cup. So how are these teams going to make these changes? They won't. I think you'll see the "Big Four" stay as they are. And for the same reason, Man City will do the same. The real action will be happening in positions eight through Twenty. The teams at the bottom need to strengthen to protect their status in the Premier league(and this is true of all leagues in Europe). The lower teams will buy a player or two who has no chance of going to the World Cup who is good enough to keep them up. The teams in the middle of the table will pick up a player or two to help keep them high in the tale and prepare for next years push upward. In the end, the busiest team in the window will be Portsmouth. Sadly they will be likely selling the left over talent that they have. It's sad but this is probably what you'll see this January, and in May you will see Pompey go down.
