With Manchester City and Aston Villa being very active in the transfer window, other clubs, such as Manchester United and Arsenal, will naturally be scrutinised for not making any signings.

I’m sorry. The Red Devils did sign Lecce full-back Patrick Dorgu. With the greatest respect, he is one for the future. Admittedly, for me to make such a remark and almost make it in a disdainful way is a tad ironic.

When Man United signed these blockbuster talents for blockbuster prices, I called for a measured response. All the balance sheets were okay; at the time, United could spend left, right, and centre.
It may not be a well-known fact, but Manchester United, the 20-time Premier League champions, have spent the most in recent times. Yes, they can show FA Cups and Carabao Cups, but no League titles, which has proved the most elusive.

Arch-rivals Arsenal did not sign anyone in the window. It can be argued that the January transfer window is a hard month to do business in. Man City’s signing of Nico Gonzales only proves that.

The Gunners would put all their efforts into signing Benjamin Sesko and Martin Zubimendi.

It’s amazing how Liverpool escapes the limelight in this regard. They, too, have not signed anyone, but if they win the League this year, which they are primed to do, then not signing anyone in this window was the right choice.
