6 Things To Expect On Deadline Day

3. Panic Buys

The weekend's results will have an impact on who the manager feels he needs to buy, and some of the top teams - Man City, Arsenal and Tottenham - endured uninspiring results. Could that force their hand to do something drastic? Or something silly? Judging by Yaya Sanogo's performance against Leicester, Arsenal need a striker to replace Olivier Giroud who will miss the rest of the year with a broken foot. Falcao has been linked, but he seems to think he's on his way to Madrid, so perhaps Arsenal should pursue the signing of Karim Benzema after three years of links. On yesterday's result, Spurs need a plan B instead of playing the long ball to Adebayor all the time. Many were keen to praise Spurs for the two performances against West Ham and QPR, but they were never a true reflection, and Spurs still need to do business. All of that could mean we see more over-inflated transfer deals for under-qualified players.
