Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder says work for the January market cannot wait.
Wilder wants to see the club get on the front foot and do their business now in order to bring new faces to Bramall Lane in the first few days of the new year.
"I can't wait until mid-January or the end of January," Wilder told Yorkshire Live.
"There are a host of games over that period and our business needs to get done now.
"There are conversations. There won't be permanent transfers. There will be loans. There's been discussions through agents who represent players and through clubs as well."
He added: "It's a fluid situation, as you can imagine. I'd like to use both loans and I'll be putting my recommendations to the board.
"As I've always maintained, to get our targets two or three things need to come to the table.
"Sometimes you want to do something, the player involved wants to do something but their club isn't keen. But I can't wait."
