Rough highlights of Prem teams' transfer windows

Bedfordspurs said:
IMO this is stars aligning for pool
They didn’t spend anything last summer
Could buy in 2 windows this summer where 1 counts in last seasons numbers
And they have gone big on young players whilst shifting players well
It’s all masterful when it works but I can’t think of it ever working for any club like this before

Masterful if they had got Guehi done.

Attack is interesting: 3 3 6 3 1 3 3 3

ARS got 3 including Eze which was annoying; I'm hoping Gyokeres and Madueke turn out to be a bit average.

AST also managed to get 3 more attackers, which is good going considering they are potless due to their own overspending.

CHE are just a joke, they got 6. They seem to get 6 every year. They'll probably get 6 more in January. I'm concerned Estevao and Paez will turn out to be Pele but CHE seem to buy and sell their entire squad every 2 years, so will CHE see them blossom?

LIV got the real class 3 with Wirtz Ekitike Isak

MNC did almost nothing, they only got Cherki and he is now injured, who else am I missing here????

MNU went early to get 3 good players Mbeumo Cunha Sesko. I was jealous how decisive they were.

NEW actually did well to get 3 good players in, considering how late Isak went.

TOT did really well to get 3 class players. Top internationals.

It is stark looking at MNU, they didn't sign a defender or midfielder? So are still relying on some ageing and injury-prone players? Wow.

Ranking all 155 Premier League transfers this summer window from worst to best

It has been a record-breaking summer for the Premier League. The Athletic's Tim Spiers has tried to put every signing into ranked order
www.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com

143. Kota Takai, Kawasaki Frontale to Tottenham Hotspur​

The Athletic’s reported transfer fee: £5m
Contract length: Five years
Promising 6ft 4in Japanese centre-back whose fee is a record for a homegrown player leaving the J-League. The 20-year-old is currently around Spurs’ first-team squad, covering for long-term injury absentee Radu Dragusin, but will likely head out on loan before long.

123. Mathys Tel, Bayern Munich to Tottenham Hotspur​

The Athletic’s reported transfer fee: £38.9m (with add-ons)
Contract length: Six years
The initial agreed fee of £47.6m when the French forward arrived on loan in last season’s winter window was negotiated down after an underwhelming few months. Huge potential, a really high ceiling and still very young, having turned 20 in April, but potential is all it is for the moment.

79. Kevin Danso, Lens to Tottenham Hotspur​

The Athletic’s reported transfer fee: £20.9m
The Athletic’s reported contract length: Five years
Will be Spurs’ third-choice centre-back, but given the injury records of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, he’ll play plenty and in the meantime is excellent backup compared to the club’s recent standards in that role. Limited as a player but very solid and a great character in the dressing room, plus he’s already a bit of a hero for the part he played in helping them win the Europa League while on loan last season.

53. Mohammed Kudus, West Ham United to Tottenham Hotspur​

The Athletic’s reported transfer fee: £55m
The Athletic’s reported contract length: Six years
After a duff second, and final, season at West Ham, the 25-year-old Ghanaian has a point to prove. On his day, a maverick with the dribbling ability to light up and win any match, but inconsistency and his temperament have been issues, even if he has kissed and made up with new team-mate Micky van de Ven over the slap that got him sent off in a Spurs-West Ham game last October.

20. Randal Kolo Muani, Paris Saint-Germain to Tottenham Hotspur​

Transfer fee: Loan
Contract: One year
Kolo Muani is at Spurs for a reason, that being he has struggled at PSG and not many other clubs can afford his wages. But also, he’s at Spurs. The 26-year-old France striker is a bit of a statement signing. So quick, so dangerous in the final third, and surely so motivated to revive his career in a World Cup year. Nicely done.

13. Xavi Simons, RB Leipzig to Tottenham Hotspur​

The Athletic’s reported transfer fee: £52m
The Athletic’s reported contract length: Five years
Tough to judge, this one. An all-encompassing No 10 who put up great numbers (10 goals and six assists in 25 Bundesliga league appearances) in a struggling team last season. Intelligent, agile, an expert ball-carrier and a supreme creator in the final third. The 22-year-old Dutchman has had a weird career path and needs a permanent home and a bit of love, but he could be a game-changer for Spurs if new coach Thomas Frank can mould the attack around him.

1. Joao Palhinha, Bayern Munich to Tottenham Hotspur​

Transfer fee: Loan
Contract length: One year
For two years with Fulham, Palhinha was arguably the Premier League’s best hairy-a***d ball-winning anchorman, and possibly one of Europe’s best, too. For Spurs to bring him back to England for peanuts adds a layer of steel to their midfield that has been missing for some time. Palhinha will not only shore up their defence, but will also help allow their creative talents to shine.
 
So to me, the big take away of this window is the top 6 pull away again.

- Liverpool -> great window, makes them favorites to retain title
- Arsenal -> improved, don't think they got the right profile but 2nd/3rd, likely again
- Chelsea -> who the fudge knows, another 10+ in, 20 out, but depth and Joao Pedro improves them
- City -> Haaland, Rodri, Donnarumma is a hell of a spine, think they still have issues but will still do decently
- Spurs -> 4 first team players added, plus a better manager, likely back in top 6
- United -> money spent, but manager/gap issues still remain, most likely of top 6 to miss out

Villa, Brentford, Brighton, West Ham, Saudi Sportswashing Machine all weaker.

I agree with you, though I think you have possibly underrated Woolwich a little. They have made annoyingly excellent signings, finally signed a centre forward and now have superb cover pretty much everywhere.
