This Summers transfer window has seen some big names coming and going all over Europe. Real Madrid have not been shy with their cheque book as per usual. Some huge signings from them including World Cup Golden ball winner James Rodriguez for a huge £63 million. According to reports they have already made £20 million of that back in shirt sales. For me Tony Kroos is the bigger signing out of the 2 though. For £20 million Real have brought in a proven midfielder at what seems a snip in current times. Madrid will certainly be a force to be reckoned with next season, however Barcelona have brought in quite the player themselves. For me the thought of Messi, Neymar and Suarez is enough to terrify any defender in the world. It just so happens that Suarez's ban ends just 1 days before, you guessed it El Classico. I fear for Atletico Madrid however as they have been victim of their own success with losing some key players.
Closer to home English teams have been busy themselves getting in players. Chelsea will be very strong with Diego Costa and Fabregas the big two for me. I am slightly disappointed however with the Drogba signing. Now Drogba was a great player but I am not sure it is wise when Lukuka is a ready made replacement in my eyes. He has scored bags of goals at both West Brom and Everton but Jose still doesn't quite fancy him.
Arsenal may have the best coup however in Sanchez. Massively impressed with him not just at the World Cup but also throughout the season. He will feel he has a point to prove after beings binned by Barcelona in favour of Suarez. Arsenal relied far too heavily on Giroud's goals last season so with more goals set to come from Sanchez sky is the limit. I would have liked to seen Keidera in the Premier league but doesn't look like it will happen. Largely overshadowed by Alonso in the Real Madrid midfield but still does a great job. I think Ramsey will be like a new signing for Arsenal as well as long as he can stay fit.
