January Transfers Overview

This January transfer window was one of the busiest/best January in football with big money signings galore so I'm going to list every transfer (in the EPL) and rate them out of 10 and give my opinions on a select few.( if the rating is ?/10 it means i don't know anything about the player.)

Arsenal:
Ryo Miyaichi (Chukyodai Chuyko High School, Undisclosed) ?/10

Aston Villa:
Darren Bent (Sunderland, £18m rising to £24m) 9/10 a player with undoubted quality but i feel Villa have paid over the odds
Jean Makoun (Lyon, £6m) 7/10
Kyle Walker (Tottenham, Loan) 7/10
Michael Bradley (B Moenchengladbach, Loan) ?/10

Birmingham City:
Obafemi Martins (Rubin Kazan, Loan) 8/10
Curtis Davies (Aston Villa, £3.5m) 6/10
David Bentley (Tottenham, Loan) 9/10 amazing signing by blues he will give them everything they lacked pace,crossing and skill

Jermaine Jones (Schalke, Loan) ?/10
Ruben Rochina (Barcelona, Loan) 7/10
Mauro Formica (Newell's OB, £3.5m) 7/10

Andy Reid (Sunderland, £1m) 7/10
Sergei Kornilenko (Zenit St Petersburg, Undisclosed) ?/10

Bolton Wanderer:

David Wheater (Middlesbrough, £2.3m) 7/10

Chelsea:
David Luiz (Benfica, £18m rising to £23m) 7/10
Fernando Torres (Liverpool, £50m) 7/10 one of the main talking points of the window and the new English transfer record, but i feel chelsea will regret this soon..

Everton:
Apostolos Vallios (Iraklis Thessalonoki, £215,000) ?/10
Eric Dier (Sporting Lisbon, Loan) ?/10

Fulham:
Steve Sidwell (Aston Villa, £500,000) 6/10 didn't do well for villa and fulham are nearly the same as villa, cant see him doing well

Eidur Gudjohnson (Stoke, Loan) 7/10

Liverpool:
Andy Carroll (Newcastle, £35m) 7/10 another big taking point,he is a good player but i have a feeling he will flop at anfield and become a bench warmer
Conor Thomas (Coventry, Loan) ?/10
Yusuf Mersin (Millwall, Undisclosed) ?/10
Luis Suarez (Ajax, £22.8m) 8/10 risk of being a flop but i highly doubt it
