Summer Transfers: My Top Transfers of the Summer Window

This transfer window has seen its fair share of drama and endless speculation about who is going where and for how much. I am going to share my limited knowledge on some of the big transfers and their effect on each team and the league.

First off, I want to say that Rooney to Chelsea is absolute rubbish. Moyes is not going to let Wayne Rooney go and make Chelsea even stronger.

By far the most talked about transfer is the new Blaugrana man, Neymar. The Brazilian wonder kid will take loads of pressure off of Lionel Messi and provide more speed and quickness to the already potent Barcelona attack. There is big talk about whether Neymar and Messi will get along, which is not even a real question given the humility of Messi. Messi and Neymar will be the better version of the Keane and Donovan relationship in LA. Pass and move, goal. Expect Barcelona to make a serious Champions League run after the disappointing 7-0 aggregate loss to Bayern Munich in last year's campaign.


My next big move is Aspas to Liverpool. With all the Suarez drama it is not hard to see how important of a buy this was for the Reds. Aspas is a replacement for the want-away striker and a good one at that. Iago always seems to show up in the right spots to lay off a pass or dribble and shoot. Vision is great also. The lad has a great future at Liverpool with Liverpool playing good football right now.

My last big transfer is Mario Gomez to Fiorentina. Gomez is a clinical finisher and with Fiorentina losing Stevan Jovetic to Manchester City; Gomez is the perfect replacement. Gomez is another striker who always seems to be in the right place at the right time which is a huge attribute for any team to have with a striker.

Although there have been many more big transfers, these are by far the most important (in my opinion) and with more big transfers waiting to happen in the dying embers of the window, my list could change. The big transfers I am talking about are David Luiz and Gareth Bale. Only time will tell where those two superstars end up and each will have huge effects on the teams they are leaving and especially the ones they are moving to.
