It was a quite transfer window for Liverpool by last season's standards, with Wrexham's teenage
goalkeeper Danny Ward the only notable arrival. However, since the window was introduced 10 seasons
ago, the Reds have made some excellent signings in what is usually a frenzied period littered with
hit-or-miss transfers.

Media reports say that United have finally reached an agreement for Crewe's 18-year-old
attacking midfielder Nick Powell for around £4m deal.
The highly-rated 18-year-old lit up League Two last season scoring 14 goals in 38 appearances
from an attacking midfield role while helping his side beat Cheltenham 2-0 in the League Two
play-off final.
After weeks of speculation, Manchester United have confirmed the signing of Crewe Alexandra
teen, Nick Powell.
"We have scouted Nick for months now. He is an exceptional talent and has been schooled well
at Crewe," said Ferguson. "I'm delighted he has chosen to come to United. He has a lot to
offer and we are all looking forward to working with him.
With Alex Mccleish out of the picture now, the search to find a suitable managerial candidate goes

Wigan's form in the 2nd half of the season it would seem that he was a big loss. So who do the
Aston Villa board have on their shortlist?
Tara a bit Maxi!...Liverpool's last game of the 2011/2012 season
sends them into Wales for an away tie with promoted Swansea. The Swans have been a breath of fresh
air to the Premier League and have established themselves as a tougher nut to crack than some may
think.
Injuries for Swansea mean they are without Agustien and Bodde but manager Brendan Rodgers has not
other worries.
