The transfer market has officially ended! The sound of FAX machines beeping and buzzing, telephones ringing and pens furiously scrawling have come to a stop. This years transfer market has seen some key players switch clubs, both from abroad or from club-to-club.However, one major suprise was the fact that Mr.Daniel 'I-like-to-leave-it-late' Levy didn't manage to sign someone for a knockdown fee on the last day of the market.
One of the biggest highlights of the Transfer saga is that both Bale and Suarez have stayed at their respected clubs. The 'will-they-wont-they' pair have much been linked to a move to Real Madrid, and their was even a point where Moyes hinted that he would love to bring Gareth Bale to Old Trafford. It looked likely that both Bale and Suarez would be off, especially because both respected clubs failed to achieve their target - Once again Tottenham finished behind North London Rivals to finish 5th, while Liverpool didn't manage to secure a spot in either the Champions League or the Europa League.
Another major talking point is the arrival of three key players for Manchester City. Having earlier recorded deals for both Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho for around £33m, and speedy winger Jesus Navas for an initial fee of £14.5m. City have gone all out to secure the service of Slovakian midfielder Marek Hamšík. Hamšík has transferred from Napoli to City for an undisclosed fee, thought to be around £39.5m, signing a five year contract.
Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham also spent big, as young Brazillian Full-Back Rafael switched Manchester for London for a free of £25m, while Manchester United brought in Austrian wonder-kid David Alaba for a fee of £18m. Daniel Levy also opened his wallet, capturing the young attacking Brazillian Wellington-Nem for a fee thought to be around the £20m - £25m mark.
Overall, Manchester City were the biggest spenders of the Transfer Window, spending a total of £87m, while the overall budget came to an astounding £303.5m
The Transfer Market slams shut!
