I think they forgot Arsenal that made no signings! MU did not do a major signing, but they kept Rooney and if they can put Nani at their best game they have a great team.

I think they avoided Arsenal from this list deliberately as Arsenal signed a big player, Mesut Ozil.

Yes yes, sorry about that, I was a few days on holiday and missed that transfer! Good for them, it's a great signing and will give a new dimension to Arsenal's game.

Manchester United did fail very badly in the transfer window considering every midfielder they went for turned them down and shot themselves by failing to get Fellani when his release clause was cheaper and end up overbidding for him.

Barcelona didn't really need to buy anyone except Neymar but a new keeper would have helped.

What? That list is terrible.

At the very least, Barca and PSG did not have bad windows. PSG got the 2nd most expensive striker in all of futbol and they can afford it! Barca signed Neymar, a Brazilian legend in the making. They could have used a centerback but some things fell through, yes,

ManU and Milan's transfer windows were questionable at best but terrible? I'm not so sure. For terrible go to Newcastle United.

PSG did get a fantastic striker who will score goals for them and help them win the league unless Falcao has a say in that.

Newcastle's window was dreadful indeed with Remy on loan their best signing but maybe they should have took a leaf out of Sunderland's book and got rid of the deadwood and invested it in players who want to play.

Barcelona's fail starts with the manager they've signed up, I don't see where that manager has the skills required to manage a team like them, I just can't, but well, I have almost the same opinion about MUtd signing Moyes as their manager, okay he did a great job in Everton considering the resources but still, well, let's wait for the christmas season break to see who failed and who didn't.

Barcelona have picked the wrong manager for the job as I thought they would have gone with a more established manager but I guess when the January window opens up, we will see if Barca's manager and Moyes etc have done the right thing.
