Most Active Club: Sheffield United - 5 players coming in, 5 players going out.
Biggest Transfer: Ashley Young - 9.65 mil - Watford to Aston Villa.
Most Money Spent (net): West Ham - 11 mil on Louis Boa Morte (from Fulham), Nigel Quashie (West Brom), Calum Davenport (Tottenham) and Lucas Neill (Blackburn).
Most Money Earned (net): Watford - less than 9 mil - sold Ashley Young for 9.65 m but bought a few players (for undisclosed fees).
Best Transfer (Soccerlens Pick): Lauren to Portsmouth - fantastic piece of business by Harry. Stokes is a close second, but he’s gone to the Championship, so doesn’t really count.
Worst Transfer (Soccerlens Pick):Traore - although Harry’s known to work miracles, so we’ll have to wait and see.
Best Transfer Strategy: Sunderland, for picking up Stokes for 2 mil and Evans on loan. Yes, I know they’re not in the Premiership, but picking up both Stokes and Evans is a stroke of genius, not to mention getting rid of Jon Stead. Keano, looking forward to seeing you in the Prem next season. West Ham have strengthened considerably as well, but they spent 11 mil to do so.

15th Jan. Halfway there.
..Hopefully, Bale’s around the Old Trafford corner
Montella is a fantastic signing, the best transfer so far. He’s banging in the goals and will score a lot more in the near future.
You’re right about Traore. I hated him when he was playing for the Reds, he doesn’t have a football brain. So clumsy and out of place, thank god we got rid of that accident. Hopefully LFC can land Javier before the window closes, he will perform much better than he does right now with the Hammers.
Carew and young are working wonders at villa great signings
Thats really helpful to me as I am updating my pro evo 6 squads, but i am struggling to find all the new squad numbers could anyone please help me out?
I am also updating my fifa 07 and i just cant be bothered with pro evo 6 because most of the players arnt on there.
im doing fifa myself becaus ei cnt be bothered to wait for the update which could take months.
Also i wasnt happy about my supporting team chelsea making any sighnings but at jose said theres no need because he has good players already.
i agree i am a chelsea fan as well and i was dissapointed that we didnt sign any one with all the injuries we have
Is there anyone in Manchester united football club called Shayne Gavin Richards, also known as Gav Rich?
It’s great that we finally have Javier in our squad. We have a pretty decent midfield with Gerrard, Alonso, Momo and now Javier. What a result in the Nou Camp!!
