So, who would you say has done the best out of this transfer window out of the top 6?
Spurs have signed the most players, but have had to sell their best player (Bale) and 2 or 3 good squad players like Caulker and Dempsey. United have only brought in Fellaini and Zaha but won the League at a canter last year so may not need to improve so much and also managed to keep hold of Rooney. Arsenal have brought in, arguably, the best player in the window in Ozil, but you could say that they lack strength in depth and needed to spend money in other areas. Chelsea have spent well and brought in a couple of class players and brought back De Bruyne from his loan. Eto'o is a solid addition but, loaning out Lukaku still leaves them short in attack. Liverpool have also had a very good window, bringing in several players and keeping hold of Luis Suarez, but a couple of extra attacking players wouldn't have gone a miss. City have improve 2/3 very important areas and signed an experienced backup in defence and a quality player with lots of potential in Jovetic. The loss of Tevez could have a bigger impact than anticipated and the loss of Kolo has already seemingly cost us points.

City: 8/10
United: 4/10
Chelsea: 7/10
Arsenal: 7/10
Spurs: 8/10
Liverpool: 7/10

So, a tight one between us and Spurs IMO, with Spurs just edging it...
 
Spurs have had by far the best window, in terms of how much they have strengthened, Lamela in particular is a superb signing for a club not in the CL.

1. Spuds
2. Us
3. Liverpool
4.Chelsea
5. Arsenal
6. rags

Ozil to Arsenal is easily the signing of the summer though, the only genuine world class player to come into the premier league this window.
 
Tottenham easy!! Serious top 4 contenders now. This league is wide open and I mean top 5/6 seriously could end up in any order!! Please for gods sake let our signings pay off!!
 
Fernandino for £30 mill, I just don't get it? Fellani is proven and looks a much better deal.Do hope I'm wrong.
 
Everton. Getting £27m for Fellaini, and bringing in Barry and McCarthy for the midfield, then adding Lukaku to the front line. Great business.
