Manchester City were behind more than a quarter of the cash spent on new players. In their bid to break into the top four, City spent nearly four times as much as anybody else.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger resisted the temptation to spend the £40million from the sales of Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure to Manchester City, as Thomas Vermaelen from Ajax was the club’s big signing of the summer.
Manchester United may have made one of the smartest signings of the transfer window by snapping up Michael Owen as a free agent. If Owen can stay injury-free he may end up playing a major role for the club this season.
Liverpool splashed out £18million on signing Glen Johnson from Portsmouth this summer, a move that raised a few eyebrows. But Johnson has managed to silence his critics with an eye-catching opening to the season.
