Swansea boss Carlos Carvahal is happy to take the cheap option when it comes to transfers this month.
Speaking ahead of the Swans’ FA Cup third round clash at Wolves on Saturday, the former Sheffield Wednesday boss compared buying in January to buying fish.
He said: “We have money for sardines and I'm thinking lobster,
"I will do my best and bring in the best players.
"I will look to the lobsters and sea bass, but if not we must buy sardines.
"But sometimes the sardines can win games."
Despite selling Gylfi Sigurdsson and Fernando Llorente in the summer, Swansea have failed to really strengthen their squad.
