Well from my point of view it couldn't have been much worse. Liverpool have let their only out and out front man go on loan to West Ham without replacing him. You could excuse Brendan Rodgers for thinking Clint Dempsey was a shoe-in to come to Anfield, but we'll only know in time whether not having a contingency will cost Liverpool. With Fabio Borini, Joe Allen, Oussama Assaidi, Nuri Sahin and Samed Yesil coming in, I think the rest of the team is looking strong, but if Borini or Suarez get injured it could be Spain's 'no-striker' for us!

| New Chelsea man Eden Hazard |
Chelsea's new starlet may have been the most expensive signing of the summer, but even at £32m there does look to be value in it. Having played a part in all of Chelsea's goals so far he could be worth every penny. Last season while he was a team-mate of Hazard at Lille, Joe Cole suggested that Eden was the best player he'd ever seen and would one day be regarded as the best player in the world. Time will tell!

| Tottenham's new midfielder Moussa Dembele |
I think Tottenham paying £15m for the services of Moussa Dembele will prove to be an absolute steal in the long run. I would not be surprised if Spurs get a few good seasons out of the Belgian midfielder, and then a marquis club (Barca, Real, Man Utd) will come calling with about £30m; And Daniel Levy has never been shy of selling players for a substantial profit.

| Michu has scored four goals already! |
Not being a huge viewer of the Spanish La Liga, I was not overly aware of Miguel Pérez Cuesta. Better known as Michu, he was the top scoring midfielder in La Liga last season and for MIchael Laudrup to relieve Rayo Vallencano of his goals for £2m he could be the signing of the summer.

| New Black Cat Adam Johnson |
Why Manchester City have let this young man go is beyond me. He has looked one of the most exciting and talented English players to emerge for quite a while, and as well as having ball-dribbling skills to bamboozle full backs, he's not shy in chipping in with a few goals as well. £10m is a bargain, and I think Sunderland will have to be playing European football before long to keep him. That said, with Martin O'Neill at the helm there's a chance that may happen.
Best Bargains
Jack Rodwell Everton to Man City £12m, If Everton weren't so cash strapped they could have paid twice that.
Dimitar Berbatov Man Utd to Fulham £4m, Should get enough goals to keep them up.
Hugo Rodallega Wigan to Fulham FOR FREE! Enough said.
QPR signing Andy Johnson from Fulham and Ryan Nelsen from Spurs for free. Vital experience that could keep them up.
Reading managed to get Fulham forward Pavel Pogrebnyak on a free. He scored goals for fun last season.
Stoke paid £4m to take Charlie Adam for Anfield to the Britannia. After never really getting back in to the side Liverpool after getting injured last year, and Joe Allen coming in at Liverpool sealed his fate. Good luck Charlie.
