So..... Arsenal and Chelsea are both looking to the future of their respective clubs with youngsters as transfers....
Everton are spending big to bolster their squad and their top 10 finish hopes...
Blackburn are strenghtening their edgy defence, Villa are looking at loans for the short term and Bolton are re-shaping their squad after the £7million investment they made on Gary Cahill.

In Part 2,
We will take a look at both Manchester clubs plus the biggest spenders in the transfer market for two windows in a row, QPR and how Tottenham are doing after sending over 15 players out on loan.
I will leave you with these 2 stories:

Everton 1 Manchester City 0
City have now lost 4 matches out of their last 7.....
Are they (along with United) losing their 'unbeatable' touch they had at the start of the season?
Should Manchester City start offloading (considering they didn't in the January transfer window)?

And...

Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas has warned Fernando Torres the time is running out to end his Chelsea drought.


Fernando Torres: Cannot seem to find the goal....
Can he do it?
Can he get back in the Spanish National team?
Or should AVB sell him once and for all?

2011-12 goal count: 5
Daniel Sturridge's 2011-12 goal count: 18 (he cost Chelsea £3.5million)

That is not good enough for a £50million striker who is also the fourth most expensive player in history....

Thank you for reading my blog. See you later everyone!
