Hearing TP say that he wants to bring in players to go straight into the TEAM, not just squad players, does indicate that we'll be after players that are proven in a top league - this (to me) is quite a statement and indicates that we'll get better quality coming in.
Who knows who though? !

I hope Pulis and Williams' New Years Message rings true - but I can't help but be a little skeptical about the statement about bringing in only immediate first team selections ( http://www.wba.co.uk/news/article/2016-1...91480.aspx )
On the whole this season I think our transfers so far have been good, despite most thinking we'd had a crap summer window.
I don't think anyone was expecting Nyom to be as good as he's been, Chadli although quiet recently had a great start and was a real coup for us, not bad for a Spurs castoff.
Also top of the list of course is Matty Phillips. I bet he's now worth more than the £5.5m we paid QPR for him, not that we'd want to sell him!
I'd be reasonably happy seeing the likes of Schlupp, McCarthy & Cleverley signed this window. I can't see us bringing in another big name until the Summer window, but I'd love to be wrong.
