'We know what we want' - Derby boss on transfer plans
Head coach Paul Warne says Derby County's attack will be the focus of their winter transfer business when the window opens in January.
Rams owner David Clowes put out an end-of-year message during the rush of festive fixtures and said there would be "funds available" to bolster the squad, having "agreed with the strategy" outlined by Warne.
"There will be no panic, no mad splurges that go against our plans, we will operate in a way that maintains our stability while adding quality to an already talented squad," Clowes wrote.
Warne echoed that message, saying signings should not be expected "when the clock turns to 12" on New Year's Eve.
"We have highlighted the ones we want and we are reactive to certain things as well.
"We are aware of the fact that there might be people coming for our players, so at the moment we are in a good place that we know what we want to do," Warne told BBC Radio Derby after Sunday's defeat by Championship leaders Leeds.
Derby are in their first season back in the Championship after two years in League One and are 16th in the table with seven wins from 24 games.
Warne says adding greater attacking options to his side - be it on the wings, up front or creatively in the middle - is what he most wants.
"Hopefully we can just enhance the squad in a couple of little areas," he said.
"From an attacking phase, I just think we possibly need a little bit more and that could come in a 10, 7, 11 or 9 - in any one of those sort of roles really."
