In the second part we are going to grade the Premier League teams from 1 to 10 on their summer transfer business
We will cover the second set of 10 teams in alphabetical order
Leicester City – 1
There is clearly financial issues at the club and previous spending on players who haven’t worked out is now showing up.
2 players in – Alex Smithies on a free and Wout Faes as a replacement for Fofana
To be fair the only lost 2 main players but Kasper Schmeichel will be a huge loss and Fofana was a shambolic transfer, the only upside being the hugely inflated price Chelsea paid for him
A long season ahead for Leicester
Liverpool – 3
Not a lot of business done here with Darwin Núñez and Fábio Carvalho being the main signings
Darwin Núñez looks like a massive overspend, he will score goals but the big thing is will he match Sadio Mane’s output.
They got rid of a few fringe players but Sadio Mane is a huge blow, a game winner for Liverpool on his own.
After a midfield injury crisis they have signed Arthur Melo on loan – a sensible signing with little risk.
Manchester City – 9
They needed a goal scorer and boy did they get one, laughably after the Community Shield people doubted Haaland
The key signings were Erling Haaland, Kalvin Phillips , Sergio Gómez and Manuel Akanji
A few players were sold to bring in money that balanced these transfers out. The squad still looks very strong
Erling Haaland is an obvious stand out, with the amount of chances that City create who knows the amount of goals he may get – 30 or 40, its possible.
Manchester United – 4
A shambolic effort – they had a list of targets and messed about with Frenkie De Jong for most of the window
The main signings were Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen , Lisandro Martínez, Casemiro and Antony
All of the above go straight into the first team but the did massively over pay for Martínez and Antony
The biggest issues came about off the field – one day no money for transfers, the next day hundreds of millions that sum up a club that’s recruitment strategy is abysmal
Newcastle United – 5
The mega bucks team up until the last days of the window
The key signings they made were Matt Targett, Nick Pope, Sven Botman and Alexander Isak
Nick Pope is a great signing as goalkeeper, Botmand and Isak look very good players. Think they overspent on Isak.
You just expect the owners or people with money to unleash the cash – maybe waiting their time.
Nottingham Forest – 7
A staggering amount of players in – 20, they did need to sign a lot as the squad that got promoted was poor and full of loan players.
Jesse Lingard looks like money wasted, even its a free but 120000 a week. Bit of a gamble that even if it is a 1 season deal.
Morgan Gibbs-White, Emmanuel Dennis, Neco Williams, Taiwo Awoniyi, Omar Richards and Lewis O’Brien
Its seems to many players, how long will it take to find their best team. Might be a gamble
Southampton – 6
I’ll be honest I do not know a lot about a lot of players
They signed 4 Man City academy players based on an ex Man City coach now being at Southampton
Tottenham Hotspur – 6
A few signings made as below
Ivan Perišić, Fraser Forster, Yves Bissouma, Richarlison , Djed Spence and Cristian Romero
Perišić on loan is a good squad player as is Fraser Forster. Yves Bissouma was a good player at Brighton and they got him for a good price.
Richarlison seemed expensive at 60 million but can score goals and is another option up front.
A lot of fringe players were also sent out on loan
West Ham United – 7
A pretty good window with a number of signings in various positions
Alphonse Areola , Gianluca Scamacca, Maxwel Cornet, Thilo Kehrer ,Emerson Palmieri and Lucas Paquetá
Maxwel Cornet is a bargain at 17 million, Alphonse Areola is a solid keeper
Emerson Palmieri and Lucas Paquetá both look like solid additions to the squad.
Wolverhampton Wanderers – 5
Odd window, lots of players sold and some random players brought in
Hwang Hee-chan, Nathan Collins, Gonçalo Guedes, Matheus Nunes and Saša Kalajdžić
Nathan Collins is solid enough but they sent COnor Coady out on loan – strange.
In this first part we are going to grade the Premier League teams from 1 to 10 on their summer transfer business
We will cover the first 10 teams in alphabetical order
Arsenal – 7
A good transfer window with the signings of Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko adding premier league experience in key positions
Gabriel Jesus will be a main striker and play every week, already grabbing goals being the main man in the team up front.
They also managed to purge the squad of a few players that would probably be categorized as ‘troublesome’
Only drawback were the numbers brought in, a slightly thin squad which they were trying to sort by signing Douglas Luiz on deadline day
Aston Villa – 4
Spent 60 million, made Philippe Coutinho a permanent transfer, also Diego Carlos was going to be the big signing at CB, fixing a problem position but unfirtunately has a serious injury now.
Signed 2 DMs in Boubacar Kamara and Leander Dendoncker and a goalkepper option in Robin Olsen.
A slightly odd window, not really strengthening the team in many way. Diego Carlos was bad luck, a definite upgrade at CB.
Bournemouth – 2
Main signings were England Marcus Tavernier, Neto and Marcos Senesi
Will this be enough to keep them up, they have battled to 2 wins and may pick up surprising points but it will be a long season. Scott Parker already paid the price by criticizing the transfer business.
I’m surprised they didn’t try and pick up more players with premier league experience like some of the Burnley and Watford players that were signed buy other teams
Brentford – 7
Made a lot of signings but the picks are Aaron Hickey, Keane Lewis-Potter, Thomas Strakosha, Ben Mee and Mikkel Damsgaard
Over 50 million spent but bulked out the squad and potential replacements for Christian Erikson were found.
Getting Ben Mee from Burnley, a player with plenty of experience seems a good move.
Brighton & Hove Albion – 4
Difficult this one as Brighton are a strange case that don’t fit a rating system normally.
Key players bought appear to be Julio Enciso and Billy Gilmour but the way Brighton operate finding random players and turning them into successful premier league players, who knows.
The sales of players for over 90 million is the big story, the fact that it doesn’t seem to have an affect on the team is remarkable and a tribute to one of the best managers in the league, Graham Potter.
Still think they need a striker but then players just pop up and score in their system on the pitch
Chelsea – 7
This is not based on money spent which is 260 million pounds – as they have overspent on several players.
A list of pretty impressive signings on paper
Raheem Sterling , Kalidou Koulibaly, Marc Cucurella , Wesley Fofana and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Sterling will provide goals and assists, Koulibaly had a shaky start but partnered with Fofana that looks like it could be a partnership along with Cucurella
Also brought in Aubameyang – not sure about that signing but Tuchel may get the best out of him.
A huge amount of players left as well in a squad that did a massive overhaul – a couple of big financial losses on signings with Werner and Lukaku out the door now
Crystal Palace – 2
Not much happened at Palace to put it mildly, thought they needed a little more strength and depth and maybe more fire power up front
Sam Johnstone a solid goalkeeping option, Cheick Doucouré on a free and Chris Richards a CB from Bayern Munich being the main signings that stood out.
A very strange window to be honest. Didn’t expect huge money to be spent on players but a bit more than what they did.
Everton – 4
Financial fair play kicked in before with Everton and the overspent in previous seasons. This season to be fair they received 60 million from the sale of Richarlison and reinvested it on the following
James Tarkowski , Dwight McNeil, Amadou Onana, Neal Maupay, James Garner and idrissa Gueye
Not the most exciting collection, 2 players from a relegated team and a striker who didn’t score many in a team that created a hatful of chances
Conor Coady on loan from Wolves may be the best bit of business in what may be a long season
Fulham – 5
Fulham seemed to have learnt from previous Premier league campaigns where the signed a bunch of players, usually on loan and it failed miserably.
This time the got the likes of João Palhinha,Andreas Pereira, Kevin Mbabu, Bernd Leno, Issa Diop and Carlos Vinícius
Pereira brings experience, they have gotten a really solid keeper in Bernd Leno and a few interesting signings in there as well
Willian is a strange one to be honest
Also did get some players on loan like Shane Duffy , Daniel James and Layvin Kurzawa who will all bring experience and are useful options in the squad
Leeds United – 5
We have actually done a full article here
A window that started so well but faded badly and left gaps in a still too small squad
The deadline day scramble for a striker will go down in history as one of the worst at a football club ever.
The summer transfer window has closed and we will look at Leeds United transfer business
It started so well for Leeds, making some early signings to address key deficiencies last season of a small squad which suffered a lot of injuries. This resulted in a last day escape from relegation, something the fans and surely the board did not want the next season
Lets look at the signings first
Signings
| Date | Pos. | Player | Transferred from |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 June 2022 | AM | Brenden Aaronson | Red Bull Salzburg |
| 10 June 2022 | RB | Rasmus Kristensen | |
| 17 June 2022 | DM | Marc Roca | Bayern Munich |
| 4 July 2022 | CM | Darko Gyabi | Manchester City |
| 6 July 2022 | DM | Tyler Adams | RB Leipzig |
| 7 July 2022 | LW | Luis Sinisterra | Feyenoord |
| 19 July 2022 | ST | Sonny Perkins | West Ham United |
| 9 August 2022 | GK | Joel Robles | Real Betis |
| 2 September 2022 | ST | Wilfried Gnonto | FC Zürich |
The signings were mainly done early with Brenden Aaronson, Rasmus Kristensen, Marc Roca, Tyler Adams and Luis Sinisterra coming in with the addition of Darko Gyabi and Sonny Perkins fro the U-23 squad
The midfielders and right back looke dkey, midfield being exposed again and again teh previous season. These were players known to the Head Coach via the Red Bull system, so could fit into the system he wanted to play at Leeds. looked promising and early signs were these were excellent additions.
A back up keeper with some experience was also needed and Joel Robles was signed as well – so far so good, most of this being done early by the 7th July, then nothing just rumors, surely Leeds weren’t done.
Sales and out goings
The sales of Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha were a blow for Leeds but were expected. Raphinha’s contribution in particular was going to be hard to cover but there weer hopes for Sinisterra and spreading the output via other players.
The ongoing saga of would he, wouldn’t he sign for Barcelona was tiresome but he eventually signed and for Leeds less than what Chelsea had offered the club. The player insisting he want to go to Barcelona.
Not the first time that the club would be shown up regarding a transfer
Issues that needed resolved
As most Leeds fans would tell you there were a couple of positions that needed filled. The LB position where Firpo, who had been poor the previous season was a problem, the player had a long term injury and this meant that someone would have to be played out of position. One of the major issues the previous season. Players in the wrong positions.
In midfield it was felt that if any of the new players were injured or suspended the replacements that were already at the club were not nearly at the same level – again an issue from the previous season.
The biggest problem was striker, Rodrigo who has been more miss than hit, had got off to a good start but suffered an unfortunate shoulder injury. Patrick bamford who had so many injuries the previous season was already injured, struggling to gain fitness and there are doubts from the fans about the amount of games he could or would play and that left Joe Gelhardt, a talent but only 20 years old and too much expectation on a young players shoulders.
That was the strike force and surely a problem that needed addressed.
The final day
The final day was something that few Leeds fans could have believed if you told them what was going to happen. A striker was a must, surely the club would come up trumps.
It started with the pursuit of Bamba Dieng from Marseille, a deal had been agreed and he was on his way to Leeds. The chairman triumphantly announced this on social media to a Leeds fan which was picked up by other sources. Then it turned out that Nice had tried to jump in and the player and his agent were on their way there, Leeds had not got the player, who ironically failed a medical at Nice.
At the same time it was said that Leeds were going to offer big money to sign Cody Gakpo from PSV, even flying out to thrash out the deal. That was supposed to be 43 million, only days after the board had said that they didn’t want to take a risk in the transfer market. Ultimately another deal fell through and Leeds wen’t into full panic mode.
On the final day, near the end they did a deal for Wilfried Gnonto of Zurich, an 18 year old striker from Zurich. A talent but a player that 3 weeks earlier the head coach had said if he signed he would go into the U-23 squad, surely not now.
Aftermath
The aftermath was interesting, many Leeds United fans furious with the club. Had they leart the lessons from the previous season, gaps in the squad that still needed fixed, board members patronising fans in program notes and social media usage that bordered on amateurish.
Will the lack of a left back and striker come back to haunt Leeds, well in the recent games the lack of striker has come back to haunt them missing good chances and the LB has resulted in Pascal Struijk, a central defender playing there. This position has also caused issues with the defense looking poor, not because of Struijk but the fact that he is in the wrong position.
A transfer window that started promisingly, petered out and eventually became a disappointment. A common occurrence in the last few seasons.
Will it be rectified in the winter window which tends to be more difficult – history would say no but maybe the board will be forced into action after the summer – a lot will be determined where Leeds finish in the league

Now lets enjoy them
OK, today Liverpool have just handed out a 9-0 thrashing to Bournemouth but this is not the first time that this result has occurred . In fact the have tied the highest winning margin.
Matches
Manchester United 9–0 Ipswich Town : 1994–95 FA Premier League
In the corresponding fixture at Ipswich’s Portman Road ground earlier in the season, they had beaten United 3–2. So was this a case of revenge.
This was an absolute drubbing. It was only 3-0 at half time but in the second half Ipswich collapsed and conceded another 6.
It was famous for And Cole scoring 5 goals. The fact that Man United had 14 shots on target and scored 9.
To run salt in the wound, Paul Ince scored United’s eighth with a free kick into an empty net while Ipswich’s goalkeeper Craig Forrest argued with the referee. A true comedy moment.
Ipswich finished the season in last place and were relegated while Manchester United were second behind champions Blackburn Rovers.
Here is something to consider : Eric Cantona was missing from this game, he was serving a suspension
Southampton 0–9 Leicester City : 2019–20 Premier League
There were a lot of big wins, many teams scoring 8 goals but it took until 2019-20 for the magic 9 to be reached.
To be fair this game did turn when Ryan Bertrand of Southampton was sent off for a studs-up challenge. This was 2 minutes after Leicester scored the opening goal through Ben Chillwell
By Half Time it was 5-0 and another 4 were added with Ayoze Pérez and Jamie Vardy scoring hat tricks
It was only the second time in Premier League history that two players scored a hat-trick for one team in the same game
You could say the sending off had an impact, that is correct but surely they could have shut up shop and done a better job than what they did. At times it was shambolic.
The two sides would play each other again in the return fixture where Southampton went on to win the match 2–1
Manchester United 9–0 Southampton : 2020–21 Premier League
Its Man Utd again and 1 season later Southampton again – oh dear
Seven different players scored for United and that does not include an own goal, this equaled the all-time Premier League record of most goalscorers for the same team in a single match
Looking back Southampton did have a lot of injuries and with a smallish squad, that didn’t help : Ibrahima Diallo, Michael Obafemi, Oriol Romeu, Nathan Tella, Jannik Vestergaard, Theo Walcott and Kyle Walker-Peters being some of the players out.
Manchester United by comparison had a full squad
Like the previous game it turned on a sending off, this time even earlier. In the second minute of the match, Southampton midfielder Alexandre Jankewitz was sent off for a high challenge on Scott McTominay – it was his first start
Southampton did have another players sent off, Bednarek – the penalty was converted and then they added another 2 goals.
So 1 penalty, 1 own goal and 2 sending offs in what was a complete debacle of a performance – arguably worse than the previous seasons 9-0 thrashing. Southampton appealed the red card issued to Bednarek, which was later rescinded by The Football Association
Note
Tottenham Hotspur had a 9–1 victory over Wigan Athletic at White Hart Lane on 22 November 2009
In this article we look at a collection of teams that have been relegated from teh Premier League and what happened after that.
Its no every team but it is the ones we find interesting and shows how hard it can be to stay in the league and get back in it.
List
1993–94_FA_Premier_League
Oldham Athletic
Managed to survive the first season but they finished second bottom with 40 points
They then spent all of their time since 1996-97 in the third tier of english football, not even get back to the championship
They were then relegated to the National League last season – the first former Premier League club to play non-League football.
An utter shambles of a club off the pitch – which an article could easily be written on. Protests about the owner who genuinely doesn’t seem to have any idea what he is doing – looks a long way back for their long suffering fans
Swindon Town
Finished bottom with 30 points. They were relegated after recording only five wins and conceding 100 goals
They had appointed Glenn Hoddle as manager who got them promoted the previous season, that was an achievement in itself but then he moved to Chelsea. After that it was a downward spiral and they never really got their season going.
Again have flirted between league 1 and league 2 ever since and never threatened the premier league
1997–98_FA_Premier_League
Barnsley
Were relegated with 35 points
have spent many seasons in the championship usually finishing near the bottom of the table in 20-21 they did reach the play-offs but fell short
They shipped 82 goals and suffered some heavy defeats like 6-0 to Chelsea, 7-0 to Man United and 6-0 to West Ham. With that defensive record its always going to be an uphill battle.
They did beat Liverpool 1-0 away in one of the few highlights from the season and even won 3 games in a row at one point
1998–99 FA Premier League
Nottingham Forest
Were relegated with 30 points
Its hard to believe this was the last time prior to this season that Forest played in the Premier League. They even spent 3 seasons in League 1. A fallen giant who at one point won the European cup.
With just 7 wins and 30 points all season, they had never really looked like beating the drop and sufferd an absolute humiliation losing 8-1 to Manchester United at home.
A shambles of a season where they sold Kevin Campbell, Pierre Van Hooijdonk went AWOL who eventually returned and appointed Ron Atkinson as manager to save them – it didn’t work.
The points tally could have been worse – they won their last 3 games.
1999–2000 FA Premier League
Sheffield Wednesday
Were relegated with 31 points, in a low points season 5 back from Bradford in 17th
Mainly a championship team they have flirted with league 1 as well, finished in the play offs places a couple of times but never managed to get promoted.
A poor start to the season saw the club fail to win any of their first nine league games and they also got hammered 8-0 by Newcastle
In the bottom 2 all season, it took them 10 games to register a win.
Wimbledon
Were relegated with 33 points, 3 points off safety.
It was hard to believe this was the crazy gang and the team that won the FA cup. That was the thing though – they punched above their weight for the size of the club
It went from bad to worse, mainly off the pitch. The announced plans to relocate, attendances dropped and AFC Wimbledon were formed by a group of fans who disagreed with the move to Milton Keynes.
Only lasted 4 seasons in the old division 1 before finishing bottom and the infamous MK Dons rebranding exercise occured. Now of course AFC Wimbledon and MK Dons are both in the league setup.
2000–01 FA Premier League
Bradford
Relegated with 26 points, 16 from safety.
This was the season that Man City also got relegated. Bradford had managed to climb from the old Division 3 to the Premier league and survive the first season.
The second season was a step too far. Hard to believe the beat Chelsea 2-0 in their second game but this was 1 of only 5 all season. It was game 16 before they won their next game.
Bradford City even competed in the UEFA Intertoto Cup this season, remember that. Actually managed 4 wins in that tournament.
Flirted between League 1 and league 2 ever since
Coventry City
Relegated with 34 points, 8 from safety.
Oh, boy has it been hard for Coventry fans – administartion issues, ownership headaches and stadium woes. Its been a tough time since the remier league years
After 34 years in the top flight and flirting with releagtion many times, their luck finally ran out and they were relegated after a 3–2 away defeat at Aston Villa on 5 May 2001.
They actually won 2 of their first 3 games
Managed to reach the 4th tier of english football before a minor resurgence has seen them make it back to the championship with 2 mid table finishes in a row.
