As the calendar turns to July, the transfer window has officially hit its stride, with blockbuster deals being completed across Europe.
The Premier League is no exception with managers finalising their squads for the start of pre-season and players arriving on a daily basis. We may only be halfway through, but there is already some jostling for who the transfer window ‘winners and losers’ will be.
Almost never correct and almost never representative of the season ahead, it doesn’t stop supporters bragging that their club’s business has been the best of the bunch. Arsenal and Manchester United have had very contrasting starts to the summer, with the Gunners coming out of the gates quicker, landing Fabio Vieira from Porto, Sao Paulo’s Marquinhos and back-up keeper Matt Turner from New England Revolution in MLS.
