Whether at Barcelona or in the blue or red half of Milan, the ‘big' Swede's scoring record often leaves something to be desired at this time of the year. Goals, to be precise.

Lazio Lazio's transfer window saw few arrivals. Sporting director Igli Tare was able to bring in a forward in Liverpool Montevideo's Emiliano Alfaro.

(-ve) Another controversial transfer saw Antonio Candreva arrive from Cesena (with Simone Del Nero going in the opposite direction).

The Tevez-Pato "will he? won't he" questions ricocheted every which way this January as the musical chairs transfers song played at AC Milan, but at the end everyone retook their own chairs. Boring. Perhaps they were dating Berlusconi's daughter, or were on £200,000 a week slave wages that no one else could match, but whatever the reason, that anti-climax will be followed up by a busy February and early March.

Benvenuto amici! Here's a perfect photo demonstrating the unglamorous side of football when you're on the pitch and it starts to rain. Believe us, it's absolutely horrible.
