January Football / Soccer Transfer Review

The January Transfer window certainly ended on a high tone. Liverpool and Chelsea splashed out a lot of cash, but was it money well spent? I guess we’ll have to find out.


Winners:

Manchester City – I think Edin Dzeko was the best player to move – A lot of money, but should mean they’ll finish in the top 4.

Inter Milan - Andrea Ranocchia, Yuto Nagatomo, Giampaolo Pazzini, Houssine Kharja – Milan acquired two defenders who will help in the Champions League, Pazzini should be a long term option, especially since it looks like Milto is aging fast. Kharja is will help them in Serie A and Coppa. Nagatomo could be the real head turner.

Chelsea – They received a non cup tied Torres and help in defense with Luiz, who could be a future foundation. However they spent way too much money, and this signals an all out push for trophies as their famous core is running out of years.

AC Milan - I think AC Milan as added enough able bodies to see with the Scudetto.

Undecided

Liverpool - If Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez can stay healthy, they should eventually cover their costs.

Manchester United – They must either be broke or think their set, we’ll see.

Real Madrid - Emmanuel Adebayor will he help, who knows.

Losers

Roma – We know their broke, but for a team fighting for a top 4 finish, and still in the Champion’s League, you would think they would have like to added some reinforcements.

Juventus - They're acting like a team with out a plan, it seems they don't one.
