| After dining at the football’s top table for a month, it’s time to go back to porridge. The caipirinhas and caviar of the World Cup will make way for a daily diet of rumours, tittle-tattle and exasperation over the next few weeks. The transfer window is open until 31 August – lucky us! – but the richest clubs have been blowing money all summer. | |
| Arsenal bought the impressive Alexis Sánchez for £30m; José Mourinho has bolstered Chelsea’s little horses to the tune of £82m; Manchester United have spent £60m on Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera; Liverpool have reinvested £60m of the money they earned from selling Luis Suárez; and Manchester City have coughed up a paltry £12m, just because they can. | |
| There will be more signings to come over the next 45 days. Tottenham Hotspur have been thrifty so far, which is hardly a surprise after last summer’s excesses, but Mauricio Pochettino will be hoping to strengthen his squad. Brendan Rodgers has hinted Liverpool have more money available to spend and Southampton are in need of replacements. Who has bought well so far? | |
| Will England’s reserve left-back and a midfielder who didn’t make it into the Spain squad help Manchester United re-establish themselves as a top four club? Were Liverpool wise to spend £25m on Adam Lallana considering that Real Madrid bought Toni Kroos – Germany’s man of the match in their 7-1 destruction of Brazil – for £20m? Can Joe Cole recover his career at Aston Villa? And will Rickie Lambert prove a success at Liverpool? | |
