    Well, who was the best signing of the transfer window (probably the most lively winter window since it was introduced)? Not who is the best player, take potential, etc. into consideration.

    Well, Pelagrinho was free so I find it hard to argue against him in terms of value for money. Bellamy is on loan so I'd argue against his inclusion but hopefully he does well at Celtic. Bias has made me go for Morientes ;) Hopefully we'll look back at the 6mil and think it was a bargain...

    Well, not really value for money. Potential etc. should be taken into a/c.

    BTW, Celtic have an option to buy Bellamy for £5m at the end of the season so if he's good and doesn't cause any trouble he'll stay. BTW, that £5m is the same as the £5m that it would have cost to get Camara permanantly.

    Well there's only 1 name that says "world class" and 6 million-odd for 3.5 years sounds like pretty good VFM too.

    I would think Reid.....really because of potential.....if he becomes the player we hope he will become then Spurs can sell him for 3 times what they paided for him,.....he is also young!!

    i went for pandiani, i reckon he will bang in goals for Birmingham, a top striker in my opinion. interesting to see if he settles after his recent comments though

    I'd say Mido for Liverpool, he's quick young and he partnered Drogba up front before Drogba left for Chelsea

    I went for Beattie, I think he'll do well now. Hopefully get some good service and score some special goals.

    Suprised noone has gone for the 40 time capped Candela, he's still only 31, hardly past it yet.

    Went for Bellamy as I think he'll make the most difference to the club he signed for of all the ones listed. Plus, the fact they can get shot of him in May if he continues to be a prick.

    No Kizito Musampa up there :confused: He'll be a star on the left wing for City this season, remove some of the massive burden that has been placed on little Shauney :)
