PREMIER SPORTS : TRANSFER WINDOW



The January transfer window has come and gone,below are some of theclubs that gained and some that lost from it :

WINNERS:

Manchester United

David Moyes and Juan Mata

Key moves in: Juan Mata from chelsea £37.1m.

Key moves out: Fabio [to Cardiff] undisclosed, Larnell Cole and Ryan Tunnicliffe [to Fulham] undisclosed, Anderson [to Fiorentina] loan, Jack Barmby [to Hartlepool] loan, Wilfried Zaha [to Cardiff] loan, Sam Byrne & Charni Ekangamene [to Carlisle] loan, Tyler Blackett, Tom Thorpe & Federico Macheda [to Birmingham] loan, Tom Lawrence [to Yeovil] loan, Sam Johnstone [to Doncaster] loan, Will Keane to QPR] loan.

Manchester United manager David Moyes went for quality not quantity in January. One signing. One high-class player in Juan Mata at a club-record fee of £37m from Chelsea.

Fulham

Kostas Mitroglou

Key moves in: Konstantinos Mitroglou [from Olympiakos] £11m, Larnell Cole and Ryan Tunnicliffe [from Manchester United] undisclosed, John Heitinga [from Everton] free, Clint Dempsey [from Seattle Sounders] loan, William Kvist [from Stuttgart] loan, Lewis Holtby [from Tottenham] loan.

Key moves out: Philippe Senderos [to Valencia] undisclosed, Bryan Ruiz [to PSV Eindhoven] loan, Stephen Arthurworrey [to Tranmere] loan, Marcus Bettinelli [to Accrington] loan, Jack Grimmer [to Port Vale] loan, Aaron Hughes [to QPR] free, Dimitar Berbatov [to Monaco] loan, Adel Taarabt loan terminated.

This was a big window for Fulham and new boss Rene Meulensteen - and early impressions look good after a very busy month in the market.

Crystal Palace

Tom Ince

Key moves in: Wayne Hennessey [from Wolves] £3m, Jason Puncheon [from Southampton] undisclosed, Scott Dann [from Blackburn] undisclosed, Joe Ledley [from Celtic] undisclosed, Thomas Ince [from Blackpool] loan.

Key moves out: Jason Banton [to Plymouth] undisclosed, Matt Parsons [to Plymouth] undisclosed, Kevin Phillips [to Leicester] free, Jimmy Kebe [to Leeds] loan, Kwesi Appiah [to Notts County] loan, Stephen Dobbie [to Blackpool] loan.

Tony Pulis has revived the Selhurst Park club since his appointment as manager and he has built on that good work in the January transfer window, especially in those hectic final hours.

LOSERS

Arsenal

Julian Draxler

Key moves in: Kim Kallstrom [from Spartak Moscow) loan.

Key moves out: Nico Yennaris [to Brentford] undisclosed, Emmanuel Frimpong [to Barnsley] undisclosed,

Chuba Akpom [to Brentford] loan, Anthony Jeffrey [to Wycombe] free, Benik Afobe [to Sheffield Wednesday] loan, Park Chu-young [to Watford] loan.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger decided against making a big January signing - and the wisdom of his decision to keep his powder dry will be judged at the end of the season.

Newcastle United

Yohan Cabaye

Key moves in: Luuk de Jong [from Borussia Monchengladbach] loan.

Key moves out: Yohan Cabaye [to Paris St Germain] £19m, Jonas Gutierrez [to Norwich] loan, Curtis Good [to Dundee United] loan.

The biggest losers of all in the transfer window - with a lack of activity that is bound to raise further questions about the role of director of football Joe Kinnear..

If Newcastle's season fades, there are likely to be repercussions from fans who will be very unhappy at a failure to significantly strengthen the squad while in a decent Premier League position.

Liverpool

Yevhen Konoplyankas

Key moves in: None.

Key moves out: Adam Morgan [to Yeovil] free, Tiago Ilori [to Granada] loan, Craig Roddan [to Accrington] loan, Ryan McLaughlin [to Barnsley] loan, Michael Ngoo [to Walsall] loan.

Liverpool's month of frustration was encapsulated in the final moments of the window when the £15m deal to sign FC Dnipro forward Yevhen Konoplyanka could not be completed.
