Ideally I would like to have a Defensive midfielder signed but I also see the lack of availability as a factor.

Schniederlin could cost a fortune right now and dare I say that I think we can ride out the remainder of the season with Coq and Ramsey/Flamini playing in that role. In the summer it'll be a must to clear deadwood like Flamini, Arteta, Diaby and bring in a promising DM and a full back.
I think you are suffering from Wengeritus - the cost difference between buying Schneiderlin now or in the summer against finishing lower in the league & maybe missing out on C.L money.
When our competitors need improvements they buy them - they don't keep waiting until the next transfer window.
