Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay is pondering whether to return to the summer market.
Mackay was speaking after defeat at West Ham United.
He said: "You have got to spend it in the correct manner, you have got to spend it on certain players.
"If a good player comes up then we might have a chance. But it's not just about spending money, it's about making sure we spend at the correct time and the correct man comes in here, and we're competing with huge teams for that."
