Pep Guardiola insisted that Manchester City will not purchase short-term fixes in the January transfer window to save an ailing season. The 1-1 draw with Everton on Boxing Day extended their dismal form to just one victory in their last 13 matches in all competitions and opened the door for their top four rivals to further widen the gap.

Guardiola admitted that even his own squad – who are bottom of the Premier League form table - are hoping for reinforcements after picking up just five points from the last available 27. While the City boss conceded that January is a tough market, he is expecting transfer action to give his team a boost.
‘The transfer window in the winter is not easy,’ Guardiola said. ‘It’s about bringing a player for the next four or five years and we’ll have to see. We have to try because this (form) is sustained for a long time. ‘Even the players know that we have to add some new players. But after, when these players come and play in their positions, then they are unhappy. But we have a lot (of injuries) and this is a problem.’.
