Past Deadline: Done Deals

50million man
On the last day of the transfer market, there were three big name signings. Total amount of their fees were over 100million pounds. Chelsea spent over 70million on the last day of transfers on Liverpool striker Fernando Torres and Benfica's star defender David Luiz. This came as a surprise because at the start of the year Chelsea announced losses of over 70million and here they are spending another 70million. It looks like Chelsea owner Roman Anbrahamovic provided a timely cash injection to bolster the Chelsea squad as they seem to be losing their sights on the premier league crown.


As for Liverpool, they spent 35million of the 50million they got from the sale of Torres on Newcastle United Andy Caroll. Many pundits have their doubts on Caroll as he doesn't seem to earn the 35million price tag but he is determined to prove the critics wrong here at Anfield. 


Welcome to Liverpool Andy Caroll
 Out of nowhere, Tottenham bid 38.5million for Atletico Madrid star striker Sergio Aguero but the offer quickly turned down as the Argentine international is very important to the club. Blackpool yet again have rejected an offer from Liverpool for experienced midfielder Charlie Adam. This time it is rumoured that the offer was around the region of 6million.

This is probably the last post on Transfers. From now on I will focus on some of the matches from the premier league and and the champions league. It was a very busy transfer window and I will see many Chelsea fans happy with the last two deadline day signings.
