My Take on The Transfer Window So far

The transfer window again opened this season break just like every other one, but definitely not without its own peculiarities.I feel there is much less quality on the market these days and their prices are just way beyond reasoning.Gone are the days when you had real quality on the market and you had them moving for prices kind of relative to their qualities.

On The Top5 Premiership team Transfers That Have Happened

I really can't believe that Liverpool bought Jordan Henderson for £20 million and had the guts to price charlie Adam at £8.5 million, even though Blackpool had been relegated.well they got him, even when when he should have been priced much higher.

How could Man utd have bought Phil Jones for over £18 million, although i feel Ashley Young was worth all of £20 million.

Well The typical Arsene Wenger buying Carl Jenkinson for £950000,maybe a good buy and Gervinho for £10 million pounds,very interesting.

Man city had a good bargain in Gael clichy at £7million pounds, for such an experienced left back.

Chelsea has a new coach in Andre Villas-Boas, and for what his record is worth i think he was worth the compensation they had to pay Porto.

On The Transfer Links and Rumored Targets

Cesc fabregash to barcelona? if you asked me, i think its about time to go.Arsenal should let him move after 8 good years.i think he has been patient enough.

Samir Nasri, maybe he is a little bit too ambitious, although i can share his sentiments of wanting to win trophies, but even he has to understand that after one full brilliant season, it would only be fair enough to give the team another chance.

Carlos Tevez.Funny enough he has a history of being unsettled any where he goes but this time around he seems to have a genuine claim of desiring a reunion with his family in a place they feel comfortable staying in.A part of me feels its an excuse to move to spain.I would be surprised if he takes the corinthians deal.

Alexis sanchez, so much for the noise.if barcelona want him, they should just make the move and spare us the details.Udinese feel no qualms about it.

My take on Neymar, highly over-rated younster.i have seen him at the Copa Americas, he is a budding youngster maybe not woth anything close to £50 million. brings to mind the whole Robinho saga.

Aturo Vidal, nice player.let's see where he ends up as that might have a great inclination for his next season.

The New Season Predictions

I would say watch out for Liverpool fc, Kenny Daglish seems to be brewing up a storm.

Arsene wenger might need to re-consider some of his principles, as he may be towing the line of self-destruct even though he might be commended for being prudent, but that he is beginning to do to a fault.

Kudos to Fergie, The old man shows no signs of letting up, he keeps reinforcing.sounds like he has Barca in his sight, and would cherish a chance to avenge to champions league final defeats.

Chelsea has a very young and ambitious coach in villas-Boas, but i hope he is not beginning to curse his luck with the 6 months injury to micheal Essien,i think he should ask Scolari, and Ancelotti.he seems to hold the key to a lot, unless there is a credible replacement.

For Real Madrid, they have had some interesting buys in Nuhu Sahin,Emit Altintop, Fabio Contrao and the likes.let's hope Chief Mourinho has enough to compete with Barcelona now.If only some one could advise him to talk less and do more of the business on the pitch.

Barcelona,well they have had it nice for the last three seasons but it can't continue forever.The top is a very lonely place and you have to keep challenging your self.They had a lot of weaknesses last season, but had mother luck to thank,not taking away from their quality.imagine issues with abidal,puyol,pique and the likes.gambling with mascherano as a five and sometimes sergio busquets.some favorite side calls from referees too came into the mix.

well we look forward to a great and exciting 2011/2012 season.cheers to the beautiful game of football.viva Soccer Fans!!!
