Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp has hinted that he will not sign new players in January if results do not improve.
The London club are currently at the foot of the Premier League table with six points from 15 matches, and have yet to win a league game this season.
"If you are still adrift in January, what is the point [of signing players]?" BBC Sport quotes him as saying. "If that was the case, I would advise the owners not to spend their money.
"What are you going to do - load yourself with more big wages? If we are in touching distance then I'm sure we will have a go and get one or two in but they can't keep spending their money and upping the wage bill.
"You've got to see where you are in January. If you are in touching distance then maybe you can go and get a couple in who can make the difference and get out of it that way. If we can do that then maybe we will have a go."
QPR were held to a 1-1 draw by Aston Villa at Loftus Road on Saturday.
