I haven't updated in awhile, but with deadline day upon us, i plan to do a round-up post once the windows closes, giving all the deals that happened at least in the premier league. Will probably need help getting a round-up on the other leagues though.

Anyone want to start posting their picks for best transfers?

So far, Melo and Diego to Juve were the best buys I have seen. They were outstanding against Roma, almost unplayable.
