Transfer of the Summer

As we sit now, who do you think will be the best transfer? Bent for Spurs? Tevez? Nani? Malouda? Henry? Klose? Ribery? Torres? Smudge?

Toss up between Hargreaves and Malouda.

Robben is a very good winger when he isn't flopping or being injured most of the time. I am guessing that Moroniho had enough of this... Malouda however, is a very strong player who works hard and produces endless opportunities for his teammates to score. Instant upgrade for Chelsea and at 14 million pounds is a steal. Expect him to do big things this season where he will get ample time running defenses ragged.

Hargreaves is a tireless worker who gets the unglamorous job of mopping up in front of the defense. He's quick, good tackler, great marker and rarely loses the ball when he has it. He immediately allows the wingers, attacking midfielder and strikers to bomb forward without worrying about counterattacks. He is going to make life miserable for attacking teams in the epl. One thing I did read was that Hargreaves gets injured a lot. Sweed, can you commment on this...

For me it's Thierry Henry. At a pricetag of 16 million quid, that's as big a steal as you can get. Not only that price, but his proven ability in a league that's more aggressive than Spain is a major factor. In my opinion, even though i hate his guts, he is the second best striker in the world. Behind Samuel Eto'o. What does that do? Umm.....Barca now have the best two strikers in the world at the same time. When has that ever happened before?

Agreed on Henry. I think he will play brilliantly at Barca and they picked him up on a good deal. The dark horse for me is Ribery down at Bayern. He has put in some great performances this preseason and I expect him to be a driving force for them in the Bundesliga. I expect them to win it back with that man coming to the forefront.

Malouda might turn into quite useful signing.

But I think of the Bayern's big signings will take that prize. Most probably Klose.

Tevez's usefulness just increased significantly. Can i say he's the most significant signing, probably not since Malouda and Henry are pure class, but still Tevez is it. I've never given Klose much credit and I never will.
