Premier League 2737 million euros
French League 900.64 million euros
Saudi League 846.57 million euros
Serie A 845.66 million euros
Bundesliga 767 million euros
La Liga 432 million euros

Damn, it is pretty good that the English Premier League is still on top of transfer statistics. I think that Saudi Arabia could spend more than EPL this summer, but it is nothing too close to EPL transfer window spending. Dude, EPL is EPL; no one could compete with him because EPL is one of the most famous football leagues in the world, and every player has dreams to play in EPL.
"Can money buy happiness? The answer is no. Everyone is running towards money, but passion is not the thing that you could bury for money.

Had received a big offer from Al-Ittihad with a contract duration of 2 years but it seems that Sergio Ramos still has a big desire to play football in European competitions and today he has received an offer from Sevilla. But the deal with Sevilla has not been completed because there are still ongoing negotiations and he has actually also received an offer from the Turkish team. Now the final decision rests with Sergio Ramos whether he will return to La Liga or the Turkish league for this season and of course if he accepts the offer from Sevilla he will be facing more frequent encounters with his former team Real Madrid.

Saudi Arabia's side will do quite well for Sergio Ramos if he can accept it. Here is the thing: he is 37 years old, and it seemed that he would not be able to perform at a higher level. This truth that he physically attributes is very good, but I think the decision to join Seville is not good for him because Seville could be expecting more from their performance. But he couldn't perform like he did in his prime. On the other hand, Inter Miami is good for him; there is no pressure on him, and he will be enjoying football like Messi.

Their whole transfer window is filled with things like this, and because of that they got players that is way less valued than what they spent. It looks like they spent a lot to be good, but the results are based on what the players are valued, not what you spend on them. So, obviously results are not coming.

Actually it doesn't matter when Chelsea spend a lot of money to shop for players, as long as they make effective purchases, meaning that the players they bring in will make a big contribution to them. Meanwhile, what I see from Chelsea is that they buy players while the players do not make much of a difference to their game, especially in the last season. This season I see better than before, but I can't be sure if they will be able to contribute fully throughout the season or not.
The effectiveness of bringing in players must also be considered, I am talking about this not only for Chelsea, but for all clubs.

Maybe I need to remind of the position Chelsea finished last season and where they are currently. Chelsea finished last season in the 12th places with lots of controversial discussion been one of the best club to dumb club now sitting in the same 12th place, isn't that too much to entertain at the early stage. They have signed and signed all the ingredients needed to cook whatever Pochettino needed, now it's time to get back work and make the club proud. Toad Boehly has patient though, I can't imagine myself been in his position since buying the club, nothing good has come out from old Trafford but losses, this needemw to end now.

Less I forget, if Chelsea were to conceded goals at this round of matches, it shouldn't have been from club like Nothingham forest that team is one of the worse teams in the Premier League and yet they lose to that club and the audacity is that they are leading Chelsea with 2 points, Chelsea need to change.

I think a club spending £450 million on new players is investing in talent. Ability doesn't arise out of nowhere. 

Chelsea problems was not just buying players; its because theres no pattern in their purchase; the board has invested in players with different profiles and talents. No world class or elite signing; and with 30 new players, every coach would always find it difficult to preach cohesion. I think Chelsea will target elite professionals in the January market to bail out the teams poor performance.

Do you agree>

The way every club is spending right now they should give instant results to be honest. Chelsea is spending a lot of money. I know that is not how it works. A coach definitely needs time to actually find the best tactics for any team. But with the amount of money they are spending, the team should be performing really well by default.

If the results are still bad, it means that it is not much different from last season's coach who brought Chelsea even further down. I think so far Mauricio Pochettino has also made a lot of decisions that are quite wrong, buying players that are not too dangerous or he has forgotten that competition in the Premier League is different from competition in France. Then when the policy of selling Chelsea players which was almost 95% did not guarantee that Chelsea would recover better. The fans demand that this season Chelsea must be able to finish in the top 5. But I think that's still not enough.

Mauricio Pochettino's decisions have been a talking point for sure. Some of the player acquisitions might not have been as impactful as hoped, and it's true that the Premire League is a unique and challenging environment compared to the French league. The styles of play, the intensity, and the level of competetion are all on a different scale.

As for the target of finshing in the top 5, it might be seen as the minimum requirement by some, but you're absolutely right to think that it's not enough. Chelsea has a rich tradition of competing at the highest level, and supporters naturally want to see the team back in contention for titles. It's all about aiming for the top and striving for excellence. Maybe we just hope again for upcoming season eh?

Chelsea are not so poor with little efforts and push they will be back at the top of the table. Pochetino decisions cam go right and left. Pochetino has experience it will as till take time because these players have not yet understand them self better.
If the right efforts is placed at the last minute of the league they will qualify for the next champions league.
Settling for less is what they do when they want to set goals to finish top five to play Europa, they should make sure to get to top four.

Just a correction the market in Saudi Arabia will end on the 7th of this month and not on the 15th.

So they can still buy Salah for example if Liverpool opens to the sell.

Liverpool are aware of that and Klopp is already pissed for seeing them closing the transfer market after European ones.
There is other names that might move to Saudi Arabia apparently like Wijnaldum, Marco Verrari, Saul Niguez, Paul Pogba and de Gea. We still have a whole week for drama

I support Klopp when he said that if Saudi is to level up and be professional, they should follow a unified calendar.
They cannot keep their windows open longer than the English window and other European windows.
They are interested in Salah, if they eventually get him because of their extended window, how will Liverpool have a replacement of Salah.
I read that Saudi wants to nominate two clubs to play in the Champions League, if this should work out, they have to have similar calendar with Europe.

I think the chance for Salah to leave Liverpool in this season is not high and we know in Liverpool nobody wants to lose a palyer like Salah.
In the interview Klopp had with Sky Channel he started to make fun of the offer from Al Ittihad. He said his iPod, papers on his desk, and even his laptop never saw anything about Salah playing for Al Ittihad.

Saudi League 846.57 million euros
Serie A 845.66 million euros
Bundesliga 767 million euros
La Liga 432 million euros

These numbers are going viral over the internet but it quite a wrong statement.

For example, Seria Spend 845 million. not really since they got over 1 billion in revenue from sales so basically they kept 150 million in their pocket.

It's so suprising how the Laliga teams have spent very little in signing players but you'll see their two most outstanding team performing better than most EPL club that's spent alot to strengthen their teams, to me I feel it's not about buying the best of the best players if you don't have a good coach or good strategy or even know how to manage them well them it would be a waste of funds.
 Just like it happened to PSG last season when they got a lot of world class players to help them win the league they spent alot of money on them but still couldn't utilise their squad to win the league, okay let's also take a look at Chelsea in the EPL currently out of the amount the EPL teams spent  Chelsea spent close to half of the figure but are still finding it difficult to win against smaller teams in the EPL.

Chelsea's case is always unique, which is why they typically serves as an example. We assumed they'd improve this season with a new coach, but they're still unable to beat small clubs. Are we still going to blame the manager or the players for not winning the games they are supposed to win against smaller teams?

After Tuchel was fired and replaced, Chelsea's initial difficulty was a lack of a good manager. He didn't know how to handle the club after appointing him as a new coach, yet he keeps buying new players to supplement the previous ones. Now that they have a new manager, he is still lacking in ideas for how to utilise these players, the coach had already got rid of most of them he won’t use and keeping the ones he’ll need but the problem with Chelsea is still persisting.

Al Ittihad are preparing another offer like 200 million pounds for Salah. While the end of the transfer window for Saudi Arabia teams is closing Al Ittihad want to go all in for this transfer. However it doesn't look like they will be able to convince Liverpool. Because Liverpool don't care about money at the moment.

They just want to keep Salah this season as well at least. Salah also seems okay about staying for another season. But after one season things can change and we might see him in Saudi Arabia probably as well. He would choose money too after a point.

What is surprising?  

Barcelona are having financial constraints, Real Madrid are barely splashing money on any random hyped up player like they used to do back then. The resulting league total expenditure is self-explanatory.

I don't see any Arabic oil money influencing the Spanish La Liga like it is doing in the French League and English Premier League.

I don't know why but i agree with this
Seeing that the biggest contributors to La Liga when transfer records like this are only Barcelona and Madrid, it is not too surprising to see how much La Liga spent in transfers this time.
Madrid only brought in Jude for 100+ million and Arda Guller for 30 million while they only returned players such as Brahim Diaz who returned from Milan, Fran Garcia who was only worth 5 million and the loans of Joselu and Kepa.
Barcelona were even more passive as they wanted to try to regain form while improving their still ballooning coffers especially as Xavi was confident enough in their squad that they weren't too Loyal the previous season so saw the La Liga spending as reasonable.

Mauricio Pochettino has attempts to build new era for Chelsea that's why he was very active this summer to bought some players and i have counted it at least Chelsea buy 9 players in this transfer window and indeed not all transfer will be very effective because possibly some of transfer will be failed and so far only Nicolas Jackson who can adapt quickly with Pochettino strategy that he was being an Chelsea key player for forward lines and i have to says he has showing consistent performance and he was already scores goals several times this season

Some players still required to adapt just like Moises Caicedo that some of fans has been criticizing his performance -snip-

Signing too many new players is actually the reason why Chelsea is difficult to give their good performance. New players need time to adapt, they just joined Chelsea. The tactics and the players' nature may be very different from their previous clubs. Moreover, some new players come from out side of EPL, they need to adapt with the atmosphere of EPL competitive matches. So, it won't be easy for the new players to give their best immediately.

I hope Pochettino won't plan a big change on Chelsea squad on the next transfer window. If he continues to sign many new players and sell the existing players, Chelsea will never play as expected. Building a solid/strong club can't be in short time (instantly), it requires a lot of time. The players need time to adapt, they need time to understand the tactics and the characteristics among the players.

However it doesn't look like they will be able to convince Liverpool. Because Liverpool don't care about money at the moment.

Liverpool can't sell Salah now because the transfer window in England is closed and they would be unable to replace him, losing Salah without a replacement would mean Liverpool are going to have a horrible season, and they can't afford to have that after their failures last season. Al Ittihad should forget about Mo Salah for now and come back next summer, they would prolly get him then because he would have just one year left on his current contract and he would be 32 years old then, so Liverpool wouldn't mind selling him for the right price.

Watching Sergio Ramos’s training sections away from professional football it tell how much energy he still has to compete at top level in Europe. A player like Ramos feels like never backing down to challenges. In my opinion returning to the La liga will mean so much more as the league holds so many good memories which he will love to continue to create but whichever destination he picks, I will always be a fan of Ramos.

[flipme]

There are rumors that Sergio Ramos could transfer to Sevilla. The 37-year-old Sergio Ramos' name was mentioned in transfer rumors with Galatasaray and Al-Ittihad, but no deal materialized during the transfer window. According to Fabrizio Romano, he will sign for Sevilla. If this news is true, he will return to Sevilla after 18 years. I think Sevilla would be a good transfer for him. Coming back to the team where his star shone after 18 years could help him create a good story.

[Pokapoka124]

I keep telling people the same thing; Chelsea overspent. When you buy a 30 million player for 60 million dollars then you are going to look like you spent a lot but you will not get that much return. For example Caicedo was worth 55 million euros by March or so last year, and now looks 75 million euro obviously because of the transfer, and they spent over 115 million euros for him. This is a dude that was 55 million euro just a few months ago, and they overspent 60 million on him. Their whole transfer window is filled with things like this, and because of that they got players that is way less valued than what they spent. It looks like they spent a lot to be good, but the results are based on what the players are valued, not what you spend on them. So, obviously results are not coming.

I don’t even consider spending huge as the major problem, what I consider the major problem is spending huge on players not worth the amount been splashed. Imagine spending 45 to 50 million on Cole Palmer from Manchester City who is even yet to be a first team player. Chelsea’s management are clueless and believe they can solve the problems of the club by just spending money, they need to go back to the drawing board and figure out how to move the club forward.

Saudi teams sent an offer for another European player and this time they target Yannick Carrasco.
According to some news, Yannick Carrasco the 29-year-old palyer for Atletico Madrid is going to leave this team soon and he got an offer from Al Shabab
However, he is under contract with Atletico Madrid until 2024.

I think Sergio Ramos has given so much to football and deserves to play in less competitive league like the Saudi Arabian League. Coming back to any club in Spain will be very stressful for the veteran defender who once helped Spain lift the FIFA World Cup in 2010 when it was hosted in South Africa.
There's no way we can still experience the top defensive performances of Sergio Ramos when he was still a Real Madrid player so it's best he agrees to join the Saudi club

[Pokapoka124]

It hasn't been heard for a long time, now Juan Mata will join Japanese club Vissel Kobe. He left Galatasaray and chose Vissel Kobe as his new home. The former Chelsea and Manchester United player is now about to start a new adventure in the Japanese league and is now 35 years old. I was thinking why he didn't follow the trend like most other European players who went to the Saudi league this season and maybe also because there was no offer for him from the Saudi league team who finally chose to join the Japanese league team. Previously, Andres Iniesta had defended Vissel Kobe for many years and this season it was Juan Mata's turn to make his debut with Vissel Kobe.

It’s been a long time since I heard about Juan Mata, I hear his time at Galatasaray wasn’t successful as he barely got enough playing time and opportunities to score goals. I won’t blame the club because he is aged and football this days requires so much energy and stamina probably that is the reason he has decided to move go a less difficult league were he can strive and fight for success.

Ramos was considered one of the best defenders of his time and was always in charge of the defense for teams like Real Madrid. Throughout his career, Ramos has won many collective titles. He ended his 2-year contract with PSG and was completely free. The fact that Al Ittihad wanted to sign Ramos quickly was because they could not sign Luiz Felipe from Real Betis. But at 37, he would be better off leading Sevilla's defense. Jose Luis Mendilibar thinks no one is better than Ramos for this role. He also wants to return to his homeland, and to return to play for Sevilla is the best thing for him before the end of his career.
