Which club has done the best business this transfer window?

If City won't win the league, this window will go as colossal fail, bigger than Arsenal's or West Ham's.

Bit surprised some say Liverpool had a good one without addressing defensive clusterfeck whatsoever. United didn't accomplished 4th target and Chelsea had to constantly look for alternatives of other alternatives. Will be interesting to see how Tottenham's signings blend in when they're truly in need of getting good run of results, asap.

Jose's two PL proven signings could be a sign of utter distrust in the current market and happiness with what he has under his nose, but no fireworks could also be much more stable transfer plan at times. Perhaps same goes to Klopp but one more defender could really help catch a breath between upcoming marathon of CL, PL and cup games.

Nobody had a great window tbh but as always, hard to judge in September.

I thought Leicester had one of the best windows. Keeping Mahrez and bringing in Maguire, Iborra, Iheanacho and Dragovic while selling Drinkwater and Tom Lawrance, two former United players they signed for less than 3m, managing to make a 40m profit..

West Brom's, also was very good.

Was just reading through to see had someone mentioned Leicester before I posted!

They've kept all their big players except for Drinkwater and they may prove to have improved on him with Adrien Silva (as well as bringing in another good defensive midfielder in Iborra). They've also improved their attack with Iheanacho, brought in a reliable backup keeper in Jakupovic and totally overhauled their central defence with Maguire and Dragovic coming in to replace the ageing Morgan and Huth.

All that for a net spend of about 30mil is exceptionally good business in this market. I'm happy with Uniteds transfer window but don't think anyone in the Prem came close to Leicester this time round. Expect to see themselves and maybe even Everton or Southampton give a couple of the top 6 a scare later on in the season.
 
Internationally. I think maybe PSG, and if they'd only bought Neymar I'd have said definitely PSG. Neymar adds a precision and an imagination that they lacked. Mbappe might just be an acquisition too far. It'll certainly make them interesting.

In England. For Spurs and Liverpool, keeping key players was more important than buying them, though Spurs do look stronger now. City and us look stronger, but I'm still not convinced that the additions at City will give them a better first XI (just a better squad) whereas United's additions should see the first choice team get better.
 
It's hard to tell now, but City may have done the necessary business to make Pep's ideas work. Leicester had a pretty good window too, I thought, with players that look good on paper and getting a good profit out of Drinkwater.

As for you guys and us, well, it feels like we're both missing a player or two. I know we definitely could've done with a CB, especially after we let our second best CB go. Signing Lukaku and Matic for you were good moves though, especially since it's Mourinho. Matic's transfer is a bit baffling too, what were Chelsea thinking?
 
I think Man City seem to have addressed Pep's needs the most, bringing Silva to add depth to the duo 10 position/ right wing. Also the 3 full-backs have given him a lot of optionality in formations. Almost a complete squad to compete on all fronts (except for a bit more depth in Central Defence, but may be hard to predict Kompany fitness there).

They seem to have overpaid for full-backs however, but remains to be seen.

If we talk about value for money: I would say Tottenham had the best window amongst top 6. They replaced Walker for a profit, bought a good back-up to Kane, and a defender to add depth, without losing any key players.

I don't think City qualify for consideration in this topic. They've bought well, no doubt about that, but they spent about a squillion quid - it would have been some effort not to buy well they way they went.

Spurs haven't improved enough for me. Sanchez looks good so far, but it wasn't an area they needed to improve much (unless they know something we don't yet about Aldeweiereld's contract situation), and I'm not a massive fan of Llorente. Aurier in for Walker at a profit was good business, but I kind of feel they've stood still that little bit.

I think we've done good business though, addressed a lot of problems up top with a big money signing as we needed to do, and Matic looks a great buy. Jury out on Lindelof, but two signings that dramatically improve our first team, I'll take that. I think City are probably the only others to have done that?
 
In Premier League I would say Man. City.

Europe I would say PSG.

Overall :- PSG

We made 3 signings, 2 more, a Box to Box scoring Midfielder and a tricky scoring Winger, would have been perfect.
 
PSG made a mistake selling Matuidi. They really don't have any depth in the DM/CM position.
