JENDELA transfer ditutup, kontrak sudah diteken. Apa yang akan terjadi selanjutnya di klub kesayangan Anda?
Apakah mereka dalam formasi yang lebih baik daripada saat mereka mengawali musim, atau sebaliknya? Apakah target belanja pemain tercapai atau malah berakhir memprihatinkan?
Berikut hasil dari kinerja belanja pemain dari 20 klub di Liga Premier selama musim ini yang dilansir Mail Online.
Manchester United
Apa kata fans mereka hari ini: ´Di mana Ronaldo? Dimana Fabregas? Dimana Modric? Dan di mana kita bisa membeli wig Fellaini? ´
Tidak seperti Manchester City dan Liverpool, strategi transfer mereka tampaknya nyaris meleset semua. Bagaimana kualitasnya, meneken kontrak pemain bintang nama besar untuk memuaskan para pendukung klub terkaya di negeri ini?
Benar, mereka memiliki skuad juara tetapi jika Anda tidak terus bergerak, Anda berdiri diam. Dan jika Anda berdiri diam, semua orang berjalan melewati Anda. Mari kita lihat jika itu terjadi. Menjaga Wayne Rooney mungkin langkah bisnis terbaik Manchester United.
MASUK
Guillermo Varela (dari Penarol, 1 juta pounds), Marouane Fellaini (dari Everton, 27,5 juta pounds).
KELUAR
Paul Scholes (pensiun), Scott Wootton (ke Leeds, 1 juta pounds), Ryan Tunnicliffe (Ipswich, pinjaman lima bulan), Frederic Veseli (Ipswich, gratis), John Cofie (Barnsley, gratis), Reece Brown (Watford, gratis), Sean McGinty (Sheffield United, bebas), Nick Powell (Wigan, dipinjam satu musim), Bebe (Pacos de Ferreira, dipinjam satu musim), Angelo Henriquez (Real Zaragoza, dipinjam satu musim)
Newcastle
Apa fans mereka katakan hari ini: "Di mana Joe Kinnear? Apa yang dia lakukan untuk mencari nafkah? Dimana pemain kita?´
Mereka menjaga Yohan Cabaye, tetapi hanya karena Arsenal mengambil minat mereka atas rantai makanan. Loic Remy dipinjamkan untuk merekrut pemain yang lebih baik, bila cocok, tetapi di mana sisa pemain?
Akankah dewan Newcastle akan memperlakukan fans mereka dengan menghormati mereka secara layak? Ini adalah klub besar dengan pemikiran kecil.
MASUK
Loic Remy (dari QPR, dipinjam satu musim), Olivier Kemen (dari Metz, dirahasiakan)
KELUAR
James Perch (ke Wigan, 700.000 pounds), Danny Simpson (QPR, gratis), Steve Harper (Hull, gratis), Shane Ferguson (Birmingham, dipinjam satu musim), James Tavernier (Shrewsbury, dipinjam satu bulan), Mehdi Abeid (Panathinaikos, dipinjam satu musim), Adam Campbell (Carlisle, pinjaman lima bulan)
Norwich
Apa fans mereka katakan hari ini: ´Dapatkan bola ke The Wolf´.
Aneh bahwa mereka mencoba untuk mendapatkan Ricardo Vaz Te dari West Ham dengan status pinjaman. Tidak berupaya mendapatkan peluang kontrak pemain terbesar dalam sejarah klub
Ricky van Wolfswinkel (The Wolf kepada teman-temannya) terlihat sebagai hasil yang baik, seperti halnya Nathan Redmond. Jika Gary Hooper membuktikan dia bisa mencetak di atas rata-rata produktivitas pemain, Norwich dapat meraih prestasi yang layak di musim ini.
MASUK
Ricky van Wolfswinkel (dari Sporting Lisbon, 8.6 juta pounds), Javier Garrido (Lazio, dirahasiakan), Nathan Redmond (Birmingham, dirahasiakan), Martin Olsson (Blackburn, dirahasiakan), Carlo Nash (Stoke, gratis), Leroy Fer (FC Twente, dirahasiakan), Gary Hooper (Celtic, 5 juta pounds), Johan Elmander (Galatasaray, dipinjam satu musim)

Southampton
Apa fans mereka katakan hari ini: ´Mengapa kita tidak merekrut pemain sayap? "
Saints telah menghabiskan dana 36 juta pounds untuk tiga pemain dan terlihat kuat, tetapi tampaknya pendukung prihatin dengan kurangnya jangkauan lapangan. Mereka ingin mendapatkan Victor Moses melalui pinjaman (ia pergi ke Liverpool) dan Nathan Redmond di musim panas (ia pergi ke Norwich).
Daniel Osvaldo bisa ditransfer senilai 15 juta pounds, tetapi tidak terlihat baik dari tampilan pada Sabtu. Ada lagi yang akan datang dari dia, pasti. Victor Wanyama adalah transfer yang baik untuk menopang lini tengah mereka dengan keterampilan defensif.
MASUK
Dejan Lovren (dari Lyon, 8,5 juta pounds), Victor Wanyama (Celtic, 12 juta pounds), Daniel Osvaldo (Roma, 15 juta pounds)
KELUAR

Stoke
Apa fans mereka katakan hari ini: ´permainan sepak bola kini jauh lebih baik daripada di bawah manajer terakhir.´
Mereka tidak melemahkan skuad mereka, menjaga pemain berbakat Steven Nzonzi, yang menjanjikan lebih dalam gaya baru bermain di bawah Mark Hughes. Bisakah Stephen Ireland membantu mereka untuk mengoper bola lebih baik?
Mencetak gol adalah masalah terakhir kali dan mungkin menjadi masalah saat ini, tetapi mereka memiliki cukup striker - dan apakah mereka memiliki cukup striker yang mampu mencetak gol?
MASUK
Erik Pieters (dari PSV, 3 juta pounds), Marc Muniesa (Barcelona, ��gratis), Juan Agueldo (New England Revolution, gratis) *, Oussama Assaidi (Liverpool, pinjaman musim panjang), Marko Arnautovic (Werder Bremen, 4 juta pounds), Stephen Ireland (Aston Villa, dipinjam satu musim).

Sunderland
Apa fans mereka katakan hari ini: "Kami berada dalam kesulitan (tapi mari kita semua tertawa di Newcastle) ´.
Banyak wajah-wajah baru, hanya satu Inggris, dan banyak pemain asing yang akan membutuhkan waktu untuk segera datang. Itu bisa bekerja, tetapi mungkin sulit tercapai.Mengharapkan air mata dan mengamuk. Dan itu hanya dari bermain habis-habisan. Jika Steven Fletcher tidak mencetak gol, siapa lagi yang diharapkan?
MASUK
Modibo Diakite (dari Lazio, gratis), Duncan Watmore (Altrincham, dirahasiakan), Valentin Roberge (Maritimo, gratis), Cabral (Basle, gratis), David Moberg Karlsson (IFK Gothenburg, gratis), Vito Mannone (Arsenal, 2 juta pounds), Jozy Altidore (AZ Alkmaar, 6 juta pounds), El Hadji Ba (Le Havre, dirahasiakan), Emanuele Giaccherini (Juventus, 8,6 juta pounds), Ondrej Celustka (Trabzonspor, dipinjam satu musim) , Charis Mavrias (Panathinaikos, 2,5 juta pounds), Ki Sung Yueng- (Swansea, dipinjam satu musim), Fabio Borini (Liverpool, dipinjam satu musim), Andrea Dossena (Napoli, dipinjam satu musim).

Swansea
Apa yang dikatakan fans mereka hari ini: ´Kita percaya bersama Michael´.
Michael Laudrup telah meningkatkan skuadnya dan jika Wilfried Bony dapat menduplikasi wujudnya dari gaya Belanda di Premier League, mereka dapat meningkatkan posisi di klasemen. Saldo Ashley Williams, menguat di sebagian besar wilayah dan masih menyenangkan untuk dilihat.
MASUK
Wilfried Bony (dari Vitesse Arnhem, 12 juta pounds), Jose Canas (Real Betis, gratis), Jordi Amat (Espanyol, 2,5 juta pounds), Jonathan De Guzman (Villarreal, dipinjam satu musim), Alejandro Pozuelo (Real Betis, 425.000 pounds), Jonjo Shelvey (Liverpool, 6 juta pounds), Gregor Zabret (NK Domzale, dirahasiakan), Alex Gogic (Olympiacos, gratis), Jernade Meade (Arsenal, bebas), Alvaro Vazquez (Getafe, dipinjam satu musim)

Tottenham
Apa fans mereka katakan hari ini: "Kami tidak akan kehilangan Gareth Bale (kami harap tidak, anyway) ´.
Mereka menghabiskan dan menghabiskan dan menghabiskan dan menghabiskan. Kemudian mereka menjual Gareth Bale, yang mencetak 21 gol musim lalu di Premier League. Apakah mereka memiliki tujuan yang cukup dalam tim - dalam tiga pertandingan sejauh ini, mereka belum mencetak gol tunggal dalam bermain terbuka. Dua kemenangan dari dua penalti dan sementara mereka telah memperkuat kedalaman skuad mereka, dengan sejumlah pemain asing, mereka penantang serius, atau mereka dalam masa transisi?
MASUK
Paulinho (dari Corinthians, 17 juta pounds), Nacer Chadli (FC Twente, 6 juta pounds), Roberto Soldado (Valencia, 26 juta pounds), Etienne Capoue (Toulouse 8,6 juta pounds), Vlad Chiriches (Steaua Bucharest 8,5 juta pounds), Erik Lamela (Roma, 30 juta pounds), Christian Eriksen (Ajax, 11,5 juta pounds)

West Bromwich Albion
Apa fans mereka katakan hari ini: ´Mengapa Lukaku pergi ke Everton? "
Berada di dasar klasemen setelah tiga pertandingan, ketergantungan yang berlebihan pada pemain pinjaman dan banyak harapan dalam penandatanganan baru Victor Anichebe untuk tetap fit. Dengan membiarkan Shane Long untuk berbicara dengan Hull, itu menunjukkan dia surplus dengan persyaratan. Sekarang mereka mungkin perlu tujuannya untuk menjaga mereka keluar dari kesulitan.
MASUK
Diego Lugano (dari PSG, dirahasiakan), Nicolas Anelka (gratis), Matej Vydra (Udinese, pinjaman musim panjang), Scott Sinclair (Manchester City, pinjaman musim panjang), Goran Popov (Dynamo Kiev, pinjaman musim panjang), Zoltan Gera (Gratis), Morgan Amalfitano (Marseille, pinjaman musim panjang), Stephane Sessegnon (Sunderland 6 juta pounds), Victor Anichebe (Everton, 6 juta pounds), Lee Camp (gratis).
KELUAR

West Ham
Apa fans mereka katakan hari ini: "Mengapa tidak kita mengontrak striker lain? ´
Ya, mereka memecahkan rekor transfer mereka untuk Andy Carroll (cedera) dan mereka menandatangani Stewart Downing (cedera) untuk bergabung dengan Joe Cole (cedera), tetapi mereka telah meninggalkan diri pendek pada senjata. Sebuah bebas re-penandatanganan Carlton Cole kemungkinan akan mengikuti, tapi apakah cukup?
Ketika mereka semua cocok, West Ham memiliki layak - Inggris - pemain Liga Premier, seperti Kevin Nolan dan Mark Noble. Mereka kuat di belakang, tetapi mereka telah bertaruh. Apakah akan berhasil?
MASUK
Andy Carroll (dari Liverpool, 15,5 juta pounds), Stewart Downing (Liverpool, 6 juta pounds), Razvan Rat (Shakhtar Donetsk, gratis), Adrian (Real Betis, dirahasiakan), Danny Whitehead (Stockport County, dirahasiakan)
OUT
Rob Hall (Bolton, gratis) , Carlton Cole (dirilis), Gary O´Neil (QPR, gratis)
THE window is shut, the business is done. So where does it all leave your club?
Are they in a better shape than when they started, or not? Was their window shopping a hit or a rather depressing miss?
Here’s Sportsmail´s verdict on the performance of all 20 Premier League teams in the summer sales...
Manchester United
What their fans are saying today: ‘Where’s Ronaldo? Where’s Fabregas? Where’s Modric? And where can we buy a Fellaini wig?’
Unlike Manchester City and Liverpool, their transfer strategy seems all over the place. Where are the quality, big name signings to satisfy the supporters of the richest club in the land?
True, they have a squad of champions but if you don’t keep moving, you stand still. And if you stand still, everyone goes past you. Let’s see if that happens. Keeping Wayne Rooney might be their best business.
IN
Guillermo Varela (Penarol, £1m), Marouane Fellaini (Everton, £27.5m),
OUT
Paul Scholes (retired), Scott Wootton (Leeds, £1m), Ryan Tunnicliffe (Ipswich, five-month loan), Frederic Veseli (Ipswich, free), John Cofie (Barnsley, free), Reece Brown (Watford, free), Sean McGinty (Sheffield United, free), Nick Powell (Wigan, season-long loan), Bebe (Pacos de Ferreira, season-long loan), Angelo Henriquez (Real Zaragoza, season-long loan)
Newcastle
What their fans are saying today: ‘Where is Joe Kinnear? What does he do for a living? Where are our signings?’
They kept Yohan Cabaye, but only because Arsenal took their interest up the food chain. Loic Remy on loan will be a good capture, when fit, but where are the rest of the signings?
When will the Newcastle board treat their fans with the respect they deserve? This is a big club with small thinking.
IN
Loic Remy (QPR, season-long loan), Olivier Kemen (Metz, undisclosed)
OUT
James Perch (Wigan, £700,000), Danny Simpson (QPR, free), Steve Harper (Hull, free), Shane Ferguson (Birmingham, season-long loan), James Tavernier (Shrewsbury, one-month loan), Mehdi Abeid (Panathinaikos, season long loan, Adam Campbell (Carlisle, five-month loan)
Norwich
What their fans are saying today: ‘Get the ball to The Wolf’.
Odd that they tried to get Ricardo Vaz Te from West Ham on loan. Doesn’t suggest a great deal of trust in the forwards they already have.
Ricky van Wolfswinkel (The Wolf to his friends) looks a good capture, as does Nathan Redmond. If Gary Hooper proves he can score in the top flight, Norwich could be in for a decent season.
IN
Ricky van Wolfswinkel (Sporting Lisbon, £8.6m), Javier Garrido (Lazio, undisclosed), Nathan Redmond (Birmingham, undisclosed), Martin Olsson (Blackburn, undisclosed), Carlo Nash (Stoke, free), Leroy Fer (FC Twente, undisclosed), Gary Hooper (Celtic, £5m), Johan Elmander (Galatasaray, season-long loan)
OUT
Grant Holt (Wigan, £4m), James Vaughan (Huddersfield, undisclosed), Leon Barnett (Wigan, £500,000) Jed Steer (Aston Villa, free), Chris Martin (Derby, free), Marc Tierney (Bolton, free), Simeon Jackson (Eintracht Braunschweig, free), Korey Smith (Oldham, free), Elliott Ward (Bournemouth, free), Tom Adeyemi (Birmingham, free), George Francomb (AFC Wimbledon, free), Declan Rudd (Preston, season-long loan), Andrew Surman (Bournemouth, season-long loan), Lee Camp (West Brom, free)
Southampton
What their fans are saying today: ‘Why didn’t we sign a winger?’
Saints have spent £36m on three players and look stronger, but it seems supporters are concerned by the lack of width. They wanted to go for Victor Moses on loan (he went to Liverpool) and Nathan Redmond in the summer (he went to Norwich).
Daniel Osvaldo could cost as much as £15m, but doesn’t look good value from his display on Saturday. There is more to come from him, surely. Victor Wanyama is good buy to shore up their midfield with his defensive skills.
IN
Dejan Lovren (Lyon, £8.5m), Victor Wanyama (Celtic, £12m), Daniel Osvaldo (Roma, £15m)
OUT
Vegard Forren (Molde, undisclosed), Frazer Richardson (Middlesbrough, free), Danny Butterfield (Carlisle, free), Danny Seaborne (Yeovil, free), Ryan Dickson (Colchester, free), Ben Reeves (MK Dons, free), Sam Hoskins (Yeovil, free), Richard Chaplow (Millwall, free), Steve De Ridder (FC Utrecht, free), Dean Hammond (Leicester, undisclosed), Jason Puncheon (Crystal Palace, season-long loan), Emmanuel Mayuka (Sochaux, season-long loan).
Stoke
What their fans are saying today: ‘This football is so much better than under the last manager.’
They didn’t weaken their squad, keeping the talented Steven Nzonzi, who promises more in a new style of play under Mark Hughes. Can Stephen Ireland help them to pass the ball better?
Scoring goals was the problem last time and might be the problem this time, but they have enough strikers - and do they have enough strikers who score?
IN
Erik Pieters (PSV, £3m), Marc Muniesa (Barcelona, free), Juan Agueldo (New England Revolution, free)*, Oussama Assaidi (Liverpool, season-long loan), Marko Arnautovic (Werder Bremen, £4m), Stephen Ireland (Aston Villa, season-long loan).
* To join on January 1, 2014.
OUT
Dean Whitehead (Middlesbrough, free), Carlo Nash (Norwich, free), Matthew Upson (Brighton, free), Rory Delap (Burton, free), Matthew Lund (Rochdale, free), Mamady Sidibe (CSKA, free), Michael Owen (retired), Florent Cuvelier (Sheffield United, undisclosed), Ryan Shotton (Wigan, loan), Cameron Jerome (Crystal Palace, season-long loan)
Sunderland
What their fans are saying today: ‘We are in trouble (but let’s all laugh at Newcastle)’.
Lots of new faces, only one Englishman, and a lot of foreign players who will need time to settle in. It could work, but it probably won’t. Expect tears and tantrums. And that’s just from the dug-out. If Steven Fletcher doesn’t score, who does?
IN
Modibo Diakite (Lazio, free), Duncan Watmore (Altrincham, undisclosed), Valentin Roberge (Maritimo, free), Cabral (Basle, free), David Moberg Karlsson (IFK Gothenburg, free), Vito Mannone (Arsenal, £2m), Jozy Altidore (AZ Alkmaar, £6m), El Hadji Ba (Le Havre, undisclosed), Emanuele Giaccherini (Juventus, £8.6m), Ondrej Celustka (Trabzonspor, season-long loan), Charis Mavrias (Panathinaikos, £2.5m), Ki Sung-yueng (Swansea, season-long loan), Fabio Borini (Liverpool, season-long loan), Andrea Dossena (Napoli, season-long loan).
OUT
Ahmed Elmohamady (Hull, £2m), James McClean (Wigan, £2m), Titus Bramble (released), Matthew Kilgallon (Blackburn, free), Ryan Noble (Burnley, free), Alfred N´Diaye (Eskisehirspor, season-long loan), Simon Mignolet (Liverpool, £9m) Danny Graham (Hull, season-long loan), Billy Knott (Wycombe, one-month loan), Stephane Sessegnon (West Brom, £6m)
Swansea
What their fans are saying today: ‘In Michael we trust’.
Michael Laudrup has improved his squad and if Wilfried Bony can duplicate his form from Holland in the Premier League, they can climb further up the table. Retained Ashley Williams, strengthened in most areas and still delightful on the eye.
IN
Wilfried Bony (Vitesse Arnhem, £12m), Jose Canas (Real Betis, free), Jordi Amat (Espanyol, £2.5m), Jonathan De Guzman (Villarreal, season-long loan), Alejandro Pozuelo (Real Betis, £425,000), Jonjo Shelvey (Liverpool, £6m), Gregor Zabret (NK Domzale, undisclosed), Alex Gogic (Olympiacos, free), Jernade Meade (Arsenal, free), Alvaro Vazquez (Getafe, season-long loan)
OUT
Kemy Agustien (Brighton, free), Mark Gower (Charlton, free), David Cornell (St Mirren, season-long loan), Kyle Bartley (Birmingham, season-long loan), Alan Tate (Yeovil, five-month loan), Dwight Tiendalli (released), Luke Moore (Elazigspor, free), Ki Sung-yueng (Sunderland, season-long loan)
Tottenham
What their fans are saying today: ‘We won’t miss Gareth Bale (we hope not, anyway)’.
They spent and spent and spent and spent. Then they sold Gareth Bale, who scored 21 goals last season in the Premier League. Do they have enough goals in the team – in three games so far, they haven’t scored a single goal in open play. Two wins from two penalties and while they have strengthened the depth of their squad, with a number of foreign signings, are they serious challengers, or are they in transition?
IN
Paulinho (Corinthians, £17m), Nacer Chadli (FC Twente, £6m), Roberto Soldado (Valencia, £26m), Etienne Capoue (Toulouse £8.6m), Vlad Chiriches (Steaua Bucharest £8.5m), Erik Lamela (Roma, £30m), Christian Eriksen (Ajax, £11.5m)
OUT
Steven Caulker (Cardiff, £9m), Clint Dempsey (Seattle Sounders, undisclosed), Tom Huddlestone (Hull, £5.25m), William Gallas (released), John Bostock (Royal Antwerp, free), David Bentley (released), Jake Nicholson (released), Jake Livermore (Hull, season-long loan) Massimo Luongo (Swindon, season-long loan), Adam Smith (Derby, season-long loan), Ryan Mason (Swindon, loan), Bongani Khumalo (Doncaster, loan), Alex Pritchard (Swindon, loan), Ryan Mason (Swindon, season-long loan), Grant Hall (Swindon, season-long loan), Scott Parker (Fulham, undisclosed), Iago Falque (Rayo Vallecano, season-long loan), Gareth Bale (Real Madrid, £86m), Benoit Assou-Ekotto (QPR, season-long loan), Tom Carroll (QPR, season-long loan)
West Bromwich Albion
What their fans are saying today: ‘Why did Lukaku go to Everton?’
Bottom of the league after three games, an over-reliance on loans and lots of hope in new signing Victor Anichebe to stay fit. By allowing Shane Long to speak to Hull, it shows he is surplus to requirements. Now they may need his goals to keep them out of trouble.
IN
Diego Lugano (PSG, undisclosed), Nicolas Anelka (free), Matej Vydra (Udinese, season-long loan), Scott Sinclair (Manchester City, season-long loan), Goran Popov (Dynamo Kiev, season-long loan), Zoltan Gera (free), Morgan Amalfitano (Marseille, season-long loan), Stephane Sessegnon (Sunderland £6m), Victor Anichebe (Everton, £6m), Lee Camp (Free).
OUT
Jerome Thomas (Crystal Palace, free), Zoltan Gera (released then re-signed), Gonzalo Jara (Nottingham Forest, free), Marc-Antoine Fortune (Wigan, free), Scott Allan (Birmingham, season-long loan), James Hurst (Crawley, free), Peter Odemwingie (Cardiff, £2.5m).
West Ham
What their fans are saying today: ‘Why didn’t we sign another striker?’
Yes, they broke their transfer record for Andy Carroll (injured) and they signed Stewart Downing (injured) to join Joe Cole (injured), but they have left themselves short on firepower. A free re-signing of Carlton Cole is likely to follow, but will that be enough?
When they are all fit, West Ham have decent – English – Premier League players, such as Kevin Nolan and Mark Noble. They are strong at the back, but they have taken a gamble. Will it work?
IN
Andy Carroll (Liverpool, £15.5m), Stewart Downing (Liverpool, £6m), Razvan Rat (Shakhtar Donetsk, free), Adrian (Real Betis, undisclosed), Danny Whitehead (Stockport County, undisclosed)
OUT
Rob Hall (Bolton, free), Carlton Cole (released), Gary O´Neil (QPR, free)
