And will your manager be happy with how the window went?</p><h2>Arsenal </h2><p><strong>Did they get what they wanted?</strong></p><p>Arsenal got their retaliation in first. Fearful that they would lose Robin van Persie, they signed Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud, which ensured there would be no repeat of last summer's last-gasp scramble. They chose to sell Alex Song, believing that they had sufficient depth to cope. Santi Cazorla already looks great to watch.</p><p><strong>The deals (selected)</strong></p><p>?<strong> </strong>Lukas Podolski, Köln, £10.9m; Olivier Giroud, Montpellier, £13m; Santi Cazorla, Malaga, £12m;</p><p><strong>? </strong>Robin van Persie, Manchester Utd, £23m; Alex Song, Barcelona, £15m; Carlos Vela, Real Sociedad, undisc; Nicklas Bendtner, Juventus, loan; Yossi Benayoun, Chelsea, end of loan spell; Joel Campbell, Real Betis, loan; Manuel Almunia, released; Kyle Bartley, Swansea, undisc; Henri Lansbury, Nottm Forest, £1m; Ryo Miyaichi, Wigan, loan</p><h2>Aston Villa</h2><p><strong>Did they get what they wanted?</strong></p><p>Having pushed through the £7m deal for the Genk striker Christian Benteke and the Crewe midfielder Ashley Westwood last night the answer is probably yes. Did the fans get what they want? Probably not. While unearthing young and hungry talent from the lower leagues is a nice idea, the strategy also represents a huge gamble.</p><p><strong>The deals (selected)</strong></p><p>?<strong> </strong>Christian Benteke, Genk, £7m Matthew Lowton, Sheffield Utd, £3m; Ron Vlaar, Feyenoord, undisc; Ashley Westwood Crewe, undisc Karim El Ahmadi, Feyenoord, undisc; Brett Holman, AZ Alkmaar, free; Joe Bennett, Middlesbrough, undisc; Jordan Bowery, Chesterfield, undisc;</p><p><strong>? </strong>Carlos Cuéllar Sunderland, free James Collins West Ham United, undisc Emile Heskey released</p><h2>Chelsea </h2><p><strong>Did they get what they wanted?</strong></p><p>Yes. The aim was to refresh and revitalise an ageing squad and team, and the players bought have been the right age and have injected creativity to the set-up. Eden Hazard is already illuminating the division, albeit at a cost of £32m. The process of regeneration will continue, but this summer was a statement of intent.</p><p><strong>The deals (selected)</strong></p><p>?<strong> </strong>Eden Hazard, Lille, £32m; César Azpilicueta, Marseille, £7m; Oscar, Internacional, £20m; Victor Moses, Wigan £9m; Marko Marin, Werder Bremen £7m; Thorgan Hazard, Lens, £1m;</p><p><strong>? </strong>Didier Drogba, Shanghai Shenhua, free; José Bosingwa, QPR free; Rhys Taylor, Southend free; Salomon Kalou, Lille, free; Romelu Lukaku, WBA, loan; Sam Hutchinson, Nottm Forest, loan; Thibaut Courtois, Atlético Madrid, loan; Matej Delac, Guimarães, loan; Sam Walker, Bristol Rovers, loan</p><h2>Everton</h2><p><strong>Did they get what they wanted?</strong></p><p>For the second transfer window in succession, Everton moved swiftly and productively to improve David Moyes' squad. The Everton manager still has concerns over numbers, but not the quality. The club suffered no traumatic losses and improved its attacking options with money raised from the sale of Jack Rodwell.</p><p><strong>The deals (selected)</strong></p><p>?<strong> </strong>Steven Naismith, Rangers, free; Steven Pienaar, Tottenham, £4,5m; Kevin Mirallas, Olympiakos, £5.3m; Bryan Oviedo, Copenhagen, £2.5m;</p><p><strong>? </strong>Jack Rodwell, Manchester City, £12m; Tim Cahill, New York Red Bulls, £1m; Joseph Yobo, Fenerbahce, £2m; James McFadden, released; Marcus Hahnemann, released; Royston Drenthe, Real Madrid, end of loan period; Denis Stracqualursi, Tigre, end of loan spell</p><h2>Fulham</h2><p></p><p><strong>What they wanted</strong></p><p>A summer that saw Moussa Dembélé and Clint Dempsey sold to Spurs can hardly feel satisfactory, though Martin Jol and the Fulham hierarchy have been creative with their replacements. A frantic final day left the squad feeling slightly sounder, and Dimitar Berbatov could prove a fine purchase at a low price if he can rediscover form of old.</p><p><strong>The deals (selected)</strong></p><p>?<strong> </strong>Dimitar Berbatov, Manchester Utd, £4m;<strong> </strong>Mladen Petric, Hamburg, free; Hugo Rodallega, Wigan, free; Sascha Riether, Cologne, loan; Kieran Richardson, Sunderland, £2m; Ashkan Dejagah, Wolfsburg, undisc;</p><p><strong>? </strong>Danny Murphy, Blackburn, free; Orlando Sá, Limassol, free; Bjorn Helge Risse, Lillestrom, free; Dickson Etuhu, Blackburn, undisc; Moussa Dembélé, Tottenham, £15m; Andy Johnson, QPR, free;, Clint Dempsey, Tottenham, £6m</p><p></p><h2>Liverpool</h2><p></p><p><strong>Did they get what they wanted?</strong></p><p>From the owners' point of view, yes, with the wage bill reduced and several unwanted high-earners shifted on. From Brendan Rodgers' stand-point, no. The Liverpool manager has acquired talent that suits his style in Joe Allen and Nuri Sahin, and is delighted to have moved on Andy Carroll and Charlie Adam, but somehow missed out on Clint Dempsey.</p><p><strong>The deals (selected)</strong></p><p>?<strong> </strong>Fabio Borini, Roma, £10.5m; Joe Allen, Swansea City, £15m; Oussama Assaidi, Heerenveen, undisc; Nuri Sahin, Real Madrid, loan; Samed Yesil, Bayer Leverkusen, £1m; <strong>? </strong>Charlie Adam, Stoke, £4m; Dirk Kuyt, Fenerbahce, £1m; Craig Bellamy, Cardiff, free; Alberto Aquilani, Fiorentina, undisc; Maxi Rodríguez, Newell's Old Boys, free; Andy Carroll, West Ham, loan; Jay Spearing, Bolton, loan; Fábio Aurélio, released, , David Amoo Preston, free; Toni Silva, Barnsley, free;</p><h2>Manchester City</h2><p><strong>Did they get what they wanted?</strong></p><p>Possibly, and Javi García's late arrival certainly cheered up Roberto Mancini who had seen Robin van Persie go to Manchester United and spent the summer moaning about Brian Marwood, who controls the City transfer budget. The decision to replace Adam Johnson with Scott Sinclair was a little puzzling but García could prove a key addition.</p><p><strong>The deals (selected)</strong></p><p>?<strong> </strong>Javi García, Benfica, £15.8m; Jack Rodwell, Everton, £15m; Scott Sinclair, Swansea City, £6.2m; Maicon, Internazionale, £4m; Richard Wright, free</p><p><strong>? </strong>Adam Johnson, Sunderland, £10m; Emmanuel Adebayor, Tottenham £5m; Nigel de Jong, Milan, undisc; Greg Cunningham, Bristol City, undisc; Ahmed Benali, Brescia, free; Andrea Mancini, Valladolid, undisc; Owen Hargreaves, released Roque Santa Cruz, Malaga, loan;</p><h2>Manchester United</h2><p><strong>Did they get what they wanted?</strong></p><p>Yes. Sir Alex Ferguson's headline coup for the club and their supporters was undoubtedly Robin van Persie's signature, but Shinji Kagawa's, the £12m arrival from Bundesliga champions Borussia Dortmund may prove just as exciting following a more than encouraging start to Japan international's career at Old Trafford.</p><p><strong>The deals (selected)</strong></p><p>?<strong> </strong>Robin van Persie, Arsenal, £23m; Shinji Kagawa, Borussia Dortmund, £12m; Nick Powell, Crewe, £4m; Alexander Buttner, Vitesse Arnhem, £4m</p><p><strong>? </strong>Dimitar Berbatov, Fulham, £4m; Park Ji-sung, QPR, £2m; Tomasz Kuszczak, Brighton, free; Paul Pogba, Juventus, undisc; Oliver Norwood, Huddersfield, free; Liam Jacobs, Oldham, undisc;</p><h2>Newcastle United</h2><p><strong>Did they get what they wanted?</strong></p><p>Sort of but not exactly. Significantly, Alan Pardew kept his best players but failed to secure long-term targets Matthieu Debuchy, Douglas and Andy Carroll. Vurnon Anita is the sole first team signing. With Ryan Taylor injured they lack cover at full back and, further forward, will be praying Pa$$$$ Cissé and Demba Ba stay fit.</p><p><strong>The deals (selected)</strong></p><p>?<strong> </strong>Vurnon Anita, Ajax, £6.7m; Curtis Good, Melbourne Heart, £400,000; Gael Bigirimana, Coventry, undisc; Romain Amalfitano Reima, free;</p><p><strong>? </strong>Leon Best, Blackburn Rovers, £3m; Fraser Foster, Celtic, £3m; Danny Guthrie, Reading, free; Alan Smith, MK Dons, free; Tamas Kadar, Roda JC, free;</p><h2>Norwich City</h2><p><strong>Did they get what they wanted?</strong></p><p>Norwich would have been hoping to bolster their strike force, but have not been able to do so, although keeping Grant Holt at the club could prove as important as a new signing. Other signings, like Alexander Tettey who arrived from Rennes, will strengthen a squad trying to cope with its second season in the top flight.</p><p><strong>The deals (selected)</strong></p><p>?<strong> </strong>Robert Snodgrass, Leeds Utd, £3m; Sébastien Bassong, Tottenham, undisc; Steven Whittaker, Rangers, free; Alexander Tettey, Rennes, undisc; Javier Garrido, Lazio, loan; Michael Turner, Sunderland, undisc; Jacob Butterfield, Barnsley, undisc; Ryan Bennett, Peterborough, loan</p><p><strong>? </strong>Zak Whitbread released, Aaron Wilbrahim released Josh Dawkin released Matt Ball released Andrew Crofts Brighton, undisc Daniel Ayala Nottm Forest, loan</p><h2>Queens Park Rangers</h2><p><strong>Did they get what they wanted?</strong></p><p>In as much as they have virtually added an entirely new squad, with players who have featured heavily in the Premier League. The arrival of Esteban Granero and Júlio César are particularly intriguing, even if Rob Green must be crestfallen to have been usurped as No1 already. This squad has huge depth, even if the team feels flung together.</p><p><strong>The deals (selected)</strong></p><p>?<strong> </strong>Rob Green, West Ham, free; Samba Diakité, Nancy, undisc; Park Ji-sung, Man Utd, £2m; Junior Hoilett, Blackburn, tribunal; Júlio César, Internazionale, free; José Bosingwa, Chelsea, free; Andy Johnson, Fulham, free; Ryan Nelsen, Blackburn, free; Esteben Granero, Real Madrid, undisc; Stéphane Mbia, Marseille, undisc; Fábio da Silva, Man Utd, loan; <strong>? </strong>Paddy Kenny, Leeds Utd, £400,000; Fitz Hall, Watford, free; Rowan Vine, St Johnstone, free; Joey Barton, Marseille, loan; Jay Bothroyd, Sheffield Wednesday, loan;</p><h2>Reading</h2><p><strong>Did they get what they wanted?</strong></p><p>Pretty much and they also did their business early, enabling Brian McDermott, the Reading manager, to integrate the new signings during pre-season. Russian striker Pavel Pogrebnyak is the most eye-catching while Garath McCleary has the potential to be one of the best free transfers of this window.</p><p><strong>The deals (selected)</strong></p><p>?<strong> </strong>Chris Gunter, Nottm Forest, £2.5m; Adrian Mariappa, Watford, undisc; Pierce Sweeney, Bray Wanderers, undisc; Pavel Pogrebnyak, Fulham, free; Danny Guthrie, Newcastle, free; Garath McCleary, Nottingham Forest, free; Nicky Shorey, WBA, free; Stuart Taylor, Manchester City, free;</p><p><strong>? </strong>Micail Antonio, Sheffield Wed, undisc; Tomasz Cywka, Barnsley, free; Brian Howard, Portsmouth, free; Andy Griffin, released; Joseph Mills, Burnley, loan;</p><h2>Southampton</h2><p><strong>Did they get what they wanted?</strong></p><p>Southampton broke their transfer record over the course of the summer, which points to proper ambition to retain their place back in the Premier League. The young Uruguayan playmaker Gastón Ramírez is an eye-catching addition and Nathaniel Clyne appears a steal, though there may have to be more spending in January if they are to survive.</p><p><strong>The deals (selected)</strong></p><p>?<strong> </strong>Gastón Ramírez, Bologna, £12m; Steve Davis, Rangers, free; Nathaniel Clyne, Crystal Palace, £2m; Paulo Gazzaniga, Gillingham, undisc; Emmanuel Mayuka, Young Boys, undisc; Jay Rodriguez, Burnley, £6m; Maya Yoshida, VVV Venlo, undisc;</p><p><strong>? </strong>Ryan Doble, Shrewsbury, free; Dan Harding, Nottm Forest, undisc; Tommy Forecast, Gillingham, loan; Aaron Martin, Crystal Palace, loan; Jonathan Forte, Crawley, loan; Billy Sharp, Nottm Forest, loan; Radhi Jaidi, released</p><h2>Stoke City</h2><p><strong>Did they get what they wanted?</strong></p><p>In Tony Pulis's eyes, probably not. The Stoke manager used his programme notes last Sunday to stress the importance of strengthening but after years of heavy investment the club has spent carefully. Charlie Adam will add some much needed imagination to midfield while Kightly, if he stays fit, promises to be a decent addition.</p><p><strong>The deals (selected)</strong></p><p>?<strong> </strong>Michael Kightly, Wolves, £3m; Geoff Cameron, Houston Dynamo, undisc; Jamie Ness, Rangers, free; Charlie Adam, Liverpool, £4m; Steven Nzonzi, Blackburn, undisc;</p><p><strong>? </strong>Danny Collins, Nottm Forest, undisc; Jonathan Woodgate, Middlesbrough, free; Andrew Davies, Bradford free; Salif Diao, released; Ricardo Fuller, free; Louis Moult, Northampton Town, free; Tom Soares released</p><h2>Sunderland</h2><p><strong>Did they get what they wanted?</strong></p><p>Martin O'Neill wanted to add goals and trickery to his team and did so in the shape of Steven Fletcher and Adam Johnson, while also pruning an overblown, poorly balanced, squad. Importantly, the Sunderland manager also persauded the much coveted Stephane Sessègnon to agree a contract extension.</p><p><strong>The deals (selected)</strong></p><p>?<strong> </strong>Adam Johnson, Manchester City, £10m; Steven Fletcher, Wolves, £12m; Louis Saha, Tottenham, free; Carlos Cuéllar, Aston Villa, free; Danny Rose, Tottenham, loan;</p><p><strong>? </strong>Kieran Richardson, Sunderland, £2m;<strong> </strong>Marcos Angeleri, Estudiantes, undisc; Asamoah Gyan, Al-Anin, £6m; Michael Turner, Norwich, undisc; George McCartney, West Ham, undisc; Craig Gordon, released; Ahmed El-Mohamady, Hull City, loan</p><h2>Swansea City</h2><p><strong>Did they get what they wanted?</strong></p><p>Paying £2m for Michu, the highest scoring midfielder in La Liga last season, could be the best signing of the summer and there is understandable excitement about the arrival of Ki Sung Yeung and the club-record deal that brought Pablo Hernández to south Wales on deadline day. Those days at 'The Vetch' feel like a distant memory.</p><p><strong>The deals (selected)</strong></p><p>?<strong> </strong>Michu, Rayo Vallencano, £2m; Jose Manuel Flores, Genoa, £2m; Jonathan de Guzman, Villarreal, loan; Kyle Bartley, Arsenal, undisc; Jamie Proctor, Preston, undisc; Ki Sung-yeung, Celtic, £5.5m; Pablo Hernández, Valencia, £5.5m</p><p><strong>? </strong>Joe Allen, Liverpool, £15m; Scott Sinclair, Manchester City, £8m; Ferrie Bodde, released; Casey Thomas, released; Joe Walsh, Crawley, free; Scott Donnelly, free; Andrea Orlandi, Brighton, undisc;</p><h2>Tottenham Hotspur</h2><p><strong>Did they get what they wanted?</strong></p><p>André Villas-Boas has admitted he was too "aggressive" with his changes at Chelsea, and the evolution under him at Tottenham would be more gradual. A whirlwind summer market has done little to support his claim, however, as big names were signed, plenty of others were chased and what could make up a decent starting XI were sold.</p><p><strong>The deals (selected)</strong></p><p>?<strong> </strong>Gylfi Sigurdsson, Hoffenheim, £8m; Jan Vertonghen, Ajax, £10m; Emmanuel Adebayor, Manchester City, £5m; Moussa Dembélé, Fulham, £15m; Clint Dempsey, Fulham, £6m; Hugo Lloris, Lyon, £7.9m</p><p><strong>? </strong>Luka Modric, Real Madrid, £30m; Niko Kranjcar, Dynamo Kyiv, £5.5m; Vedran Corluka, Lokomotiv Moscow, undisc; Steven Pienaar, Everton, £4.5m; Sébastien Bassong, Norwich, undisc; Rafael van der Vaart, Hamburg, £10m; Ryan Nelsen, QPR, free; Louis Saha, Sunderland, released;</p><h2>West Ham United</h2><p><strong>Did they get what they wanted?</strong></p><p>Sam Allardyce has overhauled his Championship play-off winning squad but it has been the loan signing of Andy Carroll that has quickened the pulses at West Ham. In the striker, the club have a rough diamond and with Matt Jarvis bought to add threat from wide areas, there is the sense of optimism. Carroll could make the difference.</p><p><strong>The deals (selected)</strong></p><p>?<strong> </strong>Matt Jarvis, Wolves, £10.75m; George McCartney, Sunderland, free; Jussi Jaaskelainen, Bolton, free; Modibo Maïga, Sochaux, £4.7m; Mohamed Diamé, Wigan, free; James Collins, Aston Villa, £2.5m; Alou Diarra, Marseille, £2m; Andy Carroll, Liverpool, loan Yossi Benayoun, Chelsea, loan; <strong>? </strong>Rob Green, QPR, free; Freddie Sears, Colchester, free; Abdoulaye Faye, Hull, free; Julien Faubert, Elazigspor, free; John Carew, released; Sam Baldock, Bristol City, £1.1m</p><h2>West Bromwich Albion</h2><p><strong>Did they get what they wanted?</strong></p><p>It could hardly have gone much better at The Hawthorns. Ben Foster's permanent signing was tied up quickly and the club look to have unearthed another gem in Claudio Yacob, who arrived on a free.</p><p>Romelu Lukaku has arrived with a point to prove and has given Steve Clarke, the new manager, plenty of forward options for the season ahead.</p><p><strong>The deals (selected)</strong></p><p>?<strong> </strong>Ben Foster, Birmingham City, undisc; Markus Rosenberg, Werder Bremen, free; Claudio Yacob, Racing Club de Avellaneda, free; Romelu Lukaku, Chelsea, loan; Yassine El Ghanassy, AA Gent, loan; Goran Popov, Dynamo Kiev, loan</p><p><strong>? </strong>Keith Andrews, Bolton, free; Joe Mattock, Sheffield Wed, free; Nicky Shorey, Reading, free; Somen Tchoyi, released; Martin Fulop, Asteras Tripoli, free; Paul Scharner, Hamburg, free; Simon Cox, Nottm Forest, undisc;</p><h2>Wigan Athletic</h2><p><strong>Did they get what they wanted?</strong></p><p>Roberto Martínez claims to be satisfied with Wigan's work and the quality of their additions certainly justifies that stance. Losing Victor Moses, who was crucial to the club's impressive form last season, is a major loss, however. There doubts about where the creativity will come from in a squad that has lost a lot of Premier League experience.</p><p><strong>The deals (selected)</strong></p><p>?<strong> </strong>Fraser Fyvie, Aberdeen, undisc; Iván Ramis, Real Mallorca, £4.5m; Arouna Koné, Levante, £4.5m; Ryo Miyaichi, Arsenal, loan;</p><p><strong>? </strong>Victor Moses, Chelsea, £9m; Conor Sammon, Derby County, £1.2m; Hugo Rodallega, Fulham, free; Mohamed Diamé ,West Ham, free; Steve Gohouri, Maccabi Tel Aviv, free; Chris Kirkland, Sheffield Wed, free; Hendry Thomas, Colorado Rapids, free;</p><div class="related" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/premierleague">Premier League</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/arsenal">Arsenal</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/aston-villa">Aston Villa</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/transfer-window">Transfer window</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/manchester-united">Manchester United</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/manchestercity">Manchester City</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/tottenham-hotspur">Tottenham Hotspur</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/norwichcity">Norwich City</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/wiganathletic">Wigan Athletic</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/westhamunited">West Ham United</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/westbrom">West Bromwich Albion</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/chelsea">Chelsea</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/swansea">Swansea City</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/qpr">QPR</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/fulham">Fulham</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/everton">Everton</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/liverpool">Liverpool</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/sunderland">Sunderland</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/stokecity">Stoke City</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/newcastleunited">Newcastle United</a></li></ul></div><br/><div class="terms"><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk">guardian.co.uk</a> &copy; 2012 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
