The window has been full of schocking, overpriced transfers & desperation on the part of the bigger clubs. The main beneficiaries of the window happens to be clubs who wouldn't think twice before laying the cash down. A look at Liverpool, Everton, Fulham & Chelsea says it all. Liverpool & Chelsea both broke the world record fee for a goal keeper consecutively. though, Liverpools buy could be considered normal but chelsea's was out of desperation after losing courtois 2 days to the closing of the window. Liverpool rained the cash & spent more than $150M to sign only 4 players, Their merseyside counterpart also hit 9 figures in forming a formidable team. Manchester United & City must have had a rough ride, both spent lesser than liverpool combined. United were rejected by 5 players at the latter stage of the window but city signed mahrez although they lost jorginho to chelsea. Tottenham was the most sorry team, A team really skeptical about releasing transfer funds ended up signing no one. could it be because Daniel Levy is a scrooge???
The new boys Wolves & Fulham got busy during the window. while Fulham signed a complete starting 11 for 9 figures, wolves were busy accumulating portugese & portugese experienced players that they ended up surpassing benfica with the number of portugese players in their squad. Cardiff city & all other teams except west ham made migre additions. The Hammers really spent the cash this time around importing felipe anderson & co.
This is the first transfer window of it kind in England. so in coming years, we should expect to see more transfer dramas.
