Summer transfer window review – Assessing the transfer window activity: English Premier League (Part 1)
With the summer transfer window already half way through, it is time to take a look at how different teams have done this summer and how much closer they are to fulfilling the deficiencies in their respective squads. The English
Premier League’s finest have been busy in the summer transfer window but not everyone has been having their way...
Arsenal
The Gunners have already bought Carl Jenkinson from Charlton Athletic as a cover right back for their French full back, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gervinho-c14755 but Arsenal still
have glaring deficiencies in their squad. After finishing 4th in the last season’s English Premier League standings, it is unclear why Wenger isn’t investing in a goalkeeper or a central defender. Gunners are thought to be interested in Christopher
Samba but Blackburn Rovers are currently holding out for a big fee.
Similarly, Wenger has also declared his interest in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 are unwilling to part ways with their central defender at the moment as they are short of quality and cover in their back line. Moreover confusion surrounds
the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 whilst Nasri is not signing a new contract. Therefore it is imperative that Wenger acts within the next
one and half month and sings a goalkeeper, a central defender and a midfielder in case Nasri or Cesc leave.
Aston Villa
Villa are a club on the way down if the news that has emerged from Villa Park is taking sceptically this summer. The Birmingham club parted ways with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Houllier right after the English Premier League season ended in May. The
French manager has now been replaced by Birmingham City’s former manager http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 McLeish. There is a lot of resistance to McLeish’s appointment at Aston Villa as the club’s supporters are not happy with his background which is deeply rooted in their rivals Birmingham
City. Nonetheless, Villa have already sold their best two players.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Charles-c8808 N’Zogbia as well.
Regardless, the Villains can take hope in the fact that their club still has to spend the 36 million pounds that they have recouped this summer from sales of their best two players.
Blackburn Rovers
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Phil-Jones-c29903 as the young English defender joined Manchester United early on in the summer transfer window. Rovers are making
all the right kind of noises more often than not but there is more smoke than fire at Ewood Park these days.
In the present summer transfer window, Blackburn should act intelligently and look to scour Birmingham City’s squad for some players as the Blues were relegated at the end of the 2010-2011 Premier League season. But it is quite
important that Blackburn also keep hold of their captain and star defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christopher-Samba-c9212 who is a prime target for Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.
