DEADLINE DAY WINNERS & LOSERS

WINNERS

CHELSEA

Made money on Schurrle, replaced/upgraded him with Cuadrado, and with Ryan Bertrand joining Southampton on a permanent basis late last night, it's a profitable window yet again.  They're the new Spurs.

MAN CITY

They were short up top, so signed a striker.  With plenty of time to spare as well.  Efficient.  £28m might look a touch steep for Wilfried Bony, but if him and Yaya Toure can link up as well for City as they have done for Ivory Coast at the African Cup of Nations, it might just turn out to be a bargain.

ARSENAL

Everyone knew they needed a centre half and a defensive midfielder, and they got them.  You wouldn't typically praise that but Wenger could just as easily have sacked it off and signed another playmaker instead.  Well done him.  Now, about Sanogo, Campbell and Podolski all being let go...  Striker CRISIS?

SOUTHAMPTON

They probably could have done without losing Jack Cork, and Swansea have got an absolute bargain there at £3m, even if he was out of contract in the summer.  The Saints have got enough options in the middle of the park though, and the loan signings of Eljero Elia and Filip Djuricic have left them in decent shape further upfield too.  Also, Bertrand.

LEICESTER

Robert Huth will help shore things up at the back, and if £9m signing Andrej Kramaric proves to be even half as prolific as he was for former club FC Rijeka, the Foxes might just stay up.  Regardless, they've comfortably had a better January than any of their main relegation rivals...  

LOSERS

QPR

At the start of January Harry Redknapp signed Mauro Zarate on loan from West Ham.  Clearly unimpressed with the Argentinian, yesterday he tried to swap him for Matt Jarvis.  The Premier League blocked that one, the rumoured signing of Emmanuel Adebayor didn't happen, and Jordan Mutch was moved on to Crystal Palace after just six months at Loftus Road.  With Redknapp having resigned today, what's likely to be his last ever transfer window was also his worst.

HULL

When goals are in such short supply, pinning all your hopes on a free transfer from Lokomotiv Moscow (Dame N'Doye) seems a hell of a gamble.  If it doesn't work out the Tigers are in real trouble.

BURNLEY

Other than the permanent signing of Man Utd loanee Michael Keane, no new faces at Turf Moor.  The league's smallest squad really could have done with one or two additions.  Danny Ings remains, in body if not spirit; and they'll need him fully focused if they're to beat the drop.

SPURS

Harry Kane's ace and that, but were he to get injured or suffer a loss of form they'd be relying on Roberto Soldado and Adebayor for goals.  Doesn't sound overly top four, does it?

MAN UTD

Don't want to go overboard with the Andy Kellett LOLZ, the under-21 side were short in defence and the club moved to address it.  Trouble is, the seniors were in a similar predicament...
