Leeds United title winner Tony Dorigo is urging manager Marcelo Bielsa to buy in January.
Sunday's clash at whipping boys Norwich is already being billed as a must-win for the stuttering Whites.
Dorigo told The Sun: “I do, absolutely (Leeds need to buy).
“If we are still in trouble come January, one or two players certainly wouldn't go amiss.
“I understand why Marcelo sticks to a small squad with a few utility players like Stuart Dallas to fill the gaps.
“There are good youngsters but you don't want to expose too many at the same time.
“So I still think we could do with a couple. When all these injuries happen then the squad size becomes exposed.
“We can't afford to lose two full-backs in Luke Ayling and Junior Firpo, and our three best players in Kalvin Phillips, Raphinha and Patrick Bamford.
“If they are all out, it's always going to be difficult for us.
“Against Southampton two weeks ago it was one of the most inexperienced benches I've seen."
