Well, for our competition anyway. Not so much for us. At time of writing this, it appears that Chelsea have signed Fernando Torres for something in the neighborhood of £50m.
As a replacement, Liverpool have agreed to pay Newcastle £35m for Andy Carroll.
Surprisingly, City have stayed relatively quiet after their early capture of Dzeko and haven’t jumped back into the market.
Liverpool look to instantly be better with a front pairing of Suarez and Carroll (pending a physical and the sale of Torres) over the unhappy Torres + whoever else. There’s no doubting the Spaniard’s talent or clinical finishing in the box. But why keep a player who would only spend his time on the pitch being unhappy and uncommitted to your cause?
Chelsea with Torres, Drogba and Anelka will make up one of the scariest and most lethal frontlines out there. Wonder how Balotelli will rates that trio versus the City trinity.
I expect Spurs to pull off a last ditch transfer seconds before the deadline, then wait to see if the proper paperwork gets approved by the league. That would mean all of our rivals (with the exception of Arsenal) have strengthened their squad considerably heading into the second half of the season.
As for us, our “flurry” of activity on the final day of the window has been the sale of Cameron Stewart to Hull (loan move being made permanent) and Cleverly being allowed to stay at Wigan till the end of the season. Not exactly the stuff that would strike fear at the Bridge, the Emirates or Anfield.
I guess there’s always the possibility of a last minute deal going through, but I’m not holding my breath for it.
