Must feel good for Arsenal fans to land a big fish at the deadline. I think they should have added some more depth though.
Don't know much about Liverpool's new defenders, will be interesting to see how their season goes now that they are in the pole position.
Thought Everton made out like bandits today... made 14.5 million pounds profit and swapped Fellaini for McCarthy, Lukaku and Barry, pretty impressive bit of business.
Fellaini's buyout clause was 23 million a month or so ago so that extra 4.5 million is a pretty rich little bonus. I dunno if his play last season is indicative of the player he has become but remembering him from the previous three seasons where he scored 6 league goals in total I can't help but think they did well to make so much money off him. Picking up McCarthy who I've liked since his Hamilton Academical days was a solid move. Will be interested to hear the terms for Barry and Lukaku, ie any fees paid and options to make the deals permanent. Either way they are a much better team today than yesterday.
