just us and leicester yet to make a first team signing this window (unless you count enciso, in which case just leicester).
but tbh I'm not sure how much value there is in an 'optimal' number, as each club is in an entirely different scenario, such as everton, who need pretty much a new first...

This. I'd have liked a striker in by now, that hasn't happened (we know the club have been trying) and I have pointed out that not signing one at all would be disastrous.
However calling anything a 'failure' or 'shocking' at this stage, when there's still several weeks left, does seem rather...
