Friday Night Review

Stop your TV watching, put down your drink, and take that confused look off your face, because tonight you have the great privelege of reading the first ever 'Friday Night Review'.

In this review I shall be listing the top 3 transfers of the week and describing just why the no.1 transfer is going to have such an impact on the Premiership. I'll be looking at a number of factors including the differences in the clubs they're going to play for. For example, one player might be more naturally talented but another plaer might hve more of an impact because he's playing at a lesser team. As always feel free to comment, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on the transfers of the week, and who you believe is the top signing of the week..

So, this weeks top 3 are:

1. Fernando Torres [Atletico Madrid - Liverpool] Undisclosed (c.20 Million)
2. Daniel de Ridder [Celta Vigo - Birmingham] Free
3. Eduardo da Silva [Dinamo Zagreb - Arsenal] Undisclosed (c.8 Million) / Owen Hargreaves [Bayern M - Man Utd] Undisclosed (c.18 Million)

Darn hard decision to make but Torres has to be the best transfer. He may not have come cheap but I believe that he will make a serious impact on the Premiership and spearhead Liverpool's campaign to take the title. He has consistently scored goals for Atletico in th last 5 seasons, and with players like Alonso, Kuyt and Stevie G. behind him, he will be allowed to play as a natural striker and get the goals that Liverpool desperately need.

Tough because De Ridder moving on a free to Birmingham is a top signing. He is a class midfielder who would have looked at home in any Premiership midfield, and to get him on a free is great value for money. He may just be a key factor in keeping them up this season.

Hargreaves and Da Silva run neck and neck. Hargreaves will be a good player for Man Utd, but his impact will be felt more in the Champions League then in the Premiership. Da Silva has a proven goal-scoring record and seems to have all the neccessary attributes to succeed, but he might get hampered by the pressure of being seen as Henry's replacement in his first season, plus he'll start off behind V. Persie and Adebayor in the pecking order. But the reason he's 3rd is that he will grow better as the season gets older, and by the end of the season, he may just be spearheading Arsenal's push to the title.

You may ask whether Torres might crumble under the pressure at Liverpool, but he's had 5 seasons of carrying Atletico in the Spanish Liga, and so will adapt very quickly to the pressure of Liverpool.

Right, as I said earlier, let me know your thoughts, it has been a great week of transfers and some players were unlucky to miss out on the top 3.

I hope you enjoyed the first ever 'Friday Night Review', and I will be back with normal football news tomorrow...don't all cheer at once now.
