The Transfer has offically closed!

What a week. Especially over England where a lot of moves and transfer happened in the dying moments of the window. One of the most questionable calls was the Fernando Torres transfer! haha I mean the fact that Liverpool, granted he requested a trasnfer, gave up torres and brought in the untested Suarez from Ajax makes them the losers of the transfer season. The winners! obvouisly chelsea with their addition of Torres maybe they can now back on track and get back in this title race. There were three other teams that have positive luck during the transfer window. The first is Aston Villa, who signed Darren Bent and prolific scorer who is a seasoned veteran of the premier league and the got Michael Bradley on loan from his club in Germany. They also recieve Robert Pires, who will be a great sub off the bench as he is on his last legs after a successful career around Europe. Birmingham City, got David Bentley who is trying to resurrect his career and Obefmi Martins a Thomsen favorite and he should add a little speed to the attack. West Ham also had a solid Janruary aquiring seasoned defender Wayne Bridge and Robbie Keane (shoulda came to America). The last group who had a great trasnfer season would have to be all the American boys. First and foremost the two that I am very excited about is Bradley's move to Aston Villa as we'll get to see how he copes in the best league in Europe. Next, Jermaine Jones was able to move to Blackburn which is a great move considering the help that the rovers need. There are three other important moves that Americans made, Gooch's move to Twente will be very positive because he will again be playing regualry. I personally believe his move to AC Milan was retarted and stupid but thats just me. Jozy got loaned out again and although he is young it is quite dishaertening to not see him get a transfer to a smaller club that he would help tremendously. I feel like he would do quite well at Fulham, or a club in Holland. Lastly, Freddy Adu is still only 21 yet seems like his professional career is going nowhere with a loan to a division 2 turkish club. I am hoping that he revamps his form after the man hurdles and pressure he has had throughout his career. Lastly, I just want to touch on the MLS. Three key figures that I am excited to see for the upcoming season. Center back, Jay demerit has made the move back home which I couldn't be more pleased with. Charlie Davies is back home too, I hope the best for him the U.S soccer community is rooting for you! Laslty, an Arsenal lad has signed with the Portland Timbers, and his name is Kerrea Gilbert! Watch out for him ladies and Gents his raw, and talented and in the right place to succeed those fans out there in the Northwest are the most passionate and dedicated fans across the states
