Most of the transfer windows shut now, still a few open which doesn't seem right?
Turkey, Greece, and a few others still have up to 2 weeks.
The Saudi one is now closed so Liverpool will be relieved.
Anyway here's where the Premier league cash was splashed this season.
Another monopoly money window with over £2.5 billion spent!!
With the so called "big 6" accounting for £1.5 billion of that.
(Info based on the best sources I could find, includes squad and youth players).
Big spenders by a mile were Chelsea again, with Tottenham, Arsenal and Man City also doing over £200m.
Just 4 teams making a profit this season.
The Chart:
Total Spend - £2,671,600,000
Most Players In - Burnley 18, Nottm Forest 17, Chelsea 16
Most Players Out - Chelsea 50, Man City 41, Wolves 38
Most Money Paid - Chelsea £453.9m, Tottenham £246.3m, Man City £219.22m
Most Money Received - Chelsea £251.7m, Brighton £191.2m, Man City £152.86m
Largest Profit - Brighton £99.3m, Wolves £58.95m, Everton £39.5m
Largest Defecit - Chelsea £202.2m, Arsenal £144.6m, Man Utd £133.13m
Largest Fees Paid (£50m +)
Used to do this list for £10m + but now you can't get an untried kid for that.
Moises Caicedo [Brighton - Chelsea] £115m
Declan Rice [West Ham - Arsenal] £105m
Harry Kane [Tottenham Hotspur - Bayern Munich] £95m **
Josko Gvardiol [RB Leipzig - Man City] £77m
Rasmus Hojlund [Atalanta - Man Utd] £72m
Kai Havertz [Chelsea - Arsenal] £70m
Dominik Szoboszlai [RB Leipzig - Liverpool] £70m
Sandro Tonali [AC Milan - Newcastle] £64m
Christopher Nkunku [RB Leipzig - Chelsea] £60m
Romeo Lavia [Southampton - Chelsea] £58m
Jeremy Doku [Rennes - Man City] £55.4m
Moussa Diaby [Bayer Leverkusen - Aston Villa] £55m
Matheus Nunes [Wolves - Man City] £55m
Mason Mount [Chelsea - Man Utd] £55m
Aleksandar Mitrovic [Fulham - Al Hilal] £52.6m **
Matheus Cunha [Athletico Madrid - Wolves] £50m
First impressions are that Chelsea way overspent on Caicedo and Lavia, but did good business on getting those fees for Havertz and Mount.
Not sure on the Man City signings but Pep is rarely wrong.
RB Leipzig in Germany have done well with bringing in over £200m from English clubs, while taking Carvalho from Liverpool on a free loan?
Would be good for Harry Kane if he actually wins something at last in Germany (or is he a jonah??), must be awkward for him at England time with Kalvin Phillips showing off his large collection of winners medals despite only playing for a couple of hours in 2 seasons 😀
