After two months, the transfer window has today slammed shut. What a transfer window, eh?
Obviously the big spenders in the Premier League were Manchester City, spending over £115 million.

Many leading figures in the game have questioned whether or not Manchester City can win the Premier

million bid for Kaka. It seemed as though everyone in the football world had something negative to
say about City's audacious bid to sign the former FIFA World Player of the Year.
Michel Platini was threatening to ban City from entering any European competitions if they were
just going to spend ridiculous sums of money on players.
