I've just been trawling through all the footie websites and putting together my summer transfers list, still a long way to go but some big spending already.
All the Premier league teams have spent some money, but so far only a few World stars have arrived here.
Biggest single transfer - Raheem Sterling from Liverpool to Man City for £43.7m although that could rise to £49m with the add ons.
Biggest spenders so far - Man Utd £68.9m. Man City £58.4m, Liverpool £51m, West Ham?? £23.3m, Sunderland £22.2m.
Holding out for a bargain? - West Brom £1.5m, Norwich £3m, Everton £4.3m
Shocked that West Ham are splashing the cash, but the stakes are big this year.
Payet, Ogbonna and Obiang have good reputations but are hardly household names, if they all adapt quickly to the English game they could be inspired moves but only time will tell? shocked that Downing left to drop a division after his best season in years? maybe things aren't as rosy as they seem?
I suppose one of the better looking deals was James Milner's free to Liverpool, I'm not sure I rate him as an England player but did a very good job for City and could be a great signing for Liverpool where I'm sure he will be a regular. The thing that annoyed me over this was that it appears Milner was already on a £100k contract and turned down a considerable rise from City to go to Liverpool whereas Sterling was on about £30k and turned down a £100k offer, but only one of them was branded a money grabbing Judas?
