Here goes…
Liverpool breaking two British transfer records within one transfer window was a stunning power play from the Premier League champions – and shows the genius in having one quiet summer transfer window.
If it was a close-run thing who won the transfer window, Liverpool tipped the scales in their favour by securing the mega deadline-day signing of Alexander Isak.

But they managed to rake in a total of £137m for Milos Kerkez (£40m to Liverpool), Dean Huijsen (£50m to Real Madrid) and Illia Zabarnyi (£57m to Paris Saint-Germain) and still, somehow, look like a team capable of doing well this season.
Chelsea
Fill their squad to the permitted brim with young players on long contracts. Maximise loans. Keep buying and selling and wheeling and dealing and ducking and diving.

And they have brought in Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens, Estevao and Liam Delap – all aged 23 or under – who are hitting the ground running.

After gaining a first promotion to the Premier League, via the play-offs, in almost a decade, they went all guns blazing into the summer.
That said, by the end of the season, if they’re relegated, they will, quite literally, slide into the losers section. But by then you will have completely forgotten about reading this.
Following a marvellous campaign that ended with qualification for Europe, Tottenham tried to poach Nottingham Forest’s best player after miraculously discovering a confidential £60m release clause in his contract.

Spurs backed down. Morgan Gibbs-White signed a new contract.

Losing head coach Thomas Frank to Spurs and key forwards Bryan Mbuemo and Yoane Wissa to Manchester United and Newcastle – the pair with a combined 39 Premier League goals last season – could prove a step too far.
Newcastle
However, the negatives outweigh the positives.
They replaced Isak by paying £55m for Wissa, but he turns 29 this week and it smacks of a desperate overpayment.

Newcastle desperately need a director of football, after losing the highly rated Paul Mitchell, to get a grip on everything.
The trend of Big Six clubs buying players from Premier League clubs beneath them intensified this summer – and looks set to grow.
It will make it harder than ever to climb.
Alexander Isak
Anyone who does that is, in my book, a complete loser.
