Gribz 917 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 This will be interesting to see who looks improved more. Arsenal:Ins: Aaron Ramsey (Cardiff, �£5m), Samir Nasri (Marseille, undisclosed), Amaury Bischoff (Werder Bremen, undisclosed). Outs: Gilberto Silva (Panathinaikos, �£1m), Alexander Hleb (Barcelona, �£11.8m), Jens Lehmann (Stuttgart, free), Mathieu Flamini (AC Milan, free), Kerrea Gilbert (Leicester, loan). They still lack a world class player IMO. Aston Villa:Ins: Steve Sidwell (Chelsea, �£5m), Curtis Davies (West Brom, undisclosed), Brad Friedel (Blackburn, �£2m). Outs: Thomas Sorensen (released), Patrik Berger (Spart Prague, free), Luke Moore (West Brom, �£3m). If they hold onto Barry then they will be stronger, but they are still low in numbers. Blackburn:Ins: Robbie Fowler (Cardiff, free). Paul Robinson (Spurs, 3.5m) Outs: Stephane Henchoz (released), Bruno Berner (released), Peter Enckelman (Cardiff, free), Brad Friedel (Aston Villa, �£2m), David Bentley (Tottenham, �£15m). Will be interested to see how Ince does. Bolton:Ins: Johan Elmander (Toulouse, �£10m), Fabrice Muamba (Birmingham, �£5m), Mustapha Riga (Levante, undisclosed). Outs: Daniel Braaten (Toulouse, undisclosed), Andranik Teymourian (Fulham, free), Stelios (released), Ivan Campo (released), El Hadji Diouf (Sunderland, �£2.5m). Didnt know they signed Elmander, but they need more. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 917 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Chelsea:Ins: Jose Bosingwa (FC Porto, �£16.2m), Deco (Barcelona, �£8m). Outs: Steve Sidwell (Aston Villa, �£5m), Ben Sahar (Portsmouth, loan), Ryan Bertrand (Norwich, loan), Slobodan Rajkovic (FC Twente, loan), Claude Makelele (Paris St Germain, free), Khalid Boulahrouz (Stuttgart, �£4m), Tal Ben Haim (Manchester City, undisclosed). Down in numbers but still a huge squad and i expect more activity before 31st August. 2 quality signings though. EvertonIns: None. Outs: Lee Carsley (Birmingham City, free), Stefan Wessels (VfL Osnabruck, free). Busy summer at Goodison then!!! FulhamIns: John Pantsil and Bobby Zamora (West Ham, �£6.3m), Tony Kallio (Young Boys Bern, undisclosed), Andranik Teymourian (Bolton, free), Zoltan Gera (West Brom, free), David Stockdale (Darlington, undisclosed), Mark Schwarzer (Middlesbrough, free), Fredrik Stoor (Rosenborg, undisclosed). Outs: Dejan Stefanovic (Norwich, undisclosed), Nathan Ashton (Wycombe, nominal fee), Elliot Omozusi (Norwich, loan), Ricardo Batista (Sporting, undisclosed), Tony Warner (Hull City, free), Carlos Bocanegra (Stade Rennais, free), Brian McBride (Toronto, free), Philippe Christanval, Jari Litmanen, Simon Elliott, Kasey Keller (all released). Few good sigings Hull CityIns: Peter Halmosi (Plymouth, �£2m), George Boateng (Middlesbrough, �£1m), Tony Warner (Fulham, free), Bernard Mendy (Paris St Germain, free), Geovanni (Manchester City, free), Craig Fagan (Derby, �£750,000), Anthony Gardner (Tottenham, loan).

Gribz 917 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Liverpool:Ins: David Ngog (Paris St Germain, undisclosed), Emmanuel Mendy (Murcia Deportivo, free), Robbie Threlfall (Hereford, loan), Diego Cavalieri (Palmeiras, undisclosed), Andrea Dossena (Udinese, undisclosed), Philipp Degen (Borussia Dortmund, free), Robbie Keane (Tottenham, �£20.3m). Outs: Jack Hobbs (Leicester, loan), Godwin Antwi (Tranmere, loan), Adam Hammill (Blackpool, loan), Scott Carson (West Brom, �£3.25m), Peter Crouch (Portsmouth, �£11m), Harry Kewell (Galatasaray, free), Paul Anderson (Nottingham Forest, loan), Anthony le Tallec (Le Mans, undisclosed), John Arne Riise (Roma, �£4m), Besian Idrizaj (Wacker Tirol, free), Danny Guthrie (Newcastle, undisclosed). Keane is the star signing so far but to challenge they need another 2 signings on par with this. Man City: Ins: Jo (CSKA Moscow, �£18m), Tal Ben Haim (Chelsea, undisclosed). Outs: Georgios Samaras (Celtic, undisclosed), Andreas Isaksson (PSV Eindhoven, undisclosed), Geovanni (Hull, free), Emile Mpenza and Paul Dickov (both released), Sun Jihai (Sheffield United, free), Matthew Mills (Doncaster, �£300,000). I think they are far from finished shopping and will be stronger. Man Utd:Ins: None. Outs: Adam Eckersley (AC Horsens, free), Gerard Pique (Barcelona, �£5m), Tom Heaton (Cardiff City, loan), Chris Eagles (Burnley, �£1m). Interestingly quiet from OT, but they dont need anyone. Middlesboro:Ins: Didier Digard (Paris St Germain, �£4m), Marvin Emnes (Sparta Rotterdam, �£3.2m). Outs: George Boateng (Hull City, �£1m), Fabio Rochemback (Sporting, free), Lee Dong-Gook (released), Mark Schwarzer (Fulham, free), Steve Thompson (Port Vale, free), Lee Cattermole (Wigan, �£3.5m). They lost a good keeper there, and havent added in numbers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon 0 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Good stuff Gribz. A lot of money being spent in the SPL! Pick of the signings for me are definitely Keane and Deco. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juffery 0 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Dos Santos, Modric and Bentley. Possibly Arshavin and Pavyluchenko to come. They may not win anything, but I think Spurs will be fantastic entertainment this year. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Agreed, I think they will be the team that will threaten to break into the top 4 the most. Spurs finishing 4th and Arsenal 5th would be just fantastic 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
