From Arsenal to West Ham United, analysis on how your club fared during the transfer window
Arsenal
Did they get what they wanted? At the beginning of the window most Arsenal fans would have wanted a forward, defensive midfielder, centre-half and/or goalkeeper. In other words a midfield ball-player was down the list. But the chance to take Mesut Ozil was one they had to seize.
The deals (selected)
In Mesut Ozil, Real Madrid £42.5m, Mathieu Flamini Milan, free, Yaya Sanogo Auxerre, free, Emiliano Viviano Palermo, loan
Out Gervinho Roma, £8m, Vito Mannone Sunderland, £1.5m, Marouane Chamakh Crystal Palace, free, André Santos Flamengo, undisc, Andrey Arshavin Zenit St Petersburg, free, Denilson São Paulo, free
Aston Villa
Did they get what they wanted? More depth to a young squad and securing Christian Benteke on a new contract represents an encouraging window for Paul Lambert. Antonio Luna has made an immediate impression and Villa have removed several high-earners from the books.
The deals (selected)
In Libor Kozak Lazio, £5m, Jores Okore Nordsjaelland, £4m, Leandro Bacuna Groningen, £3m, Aleksander Tonev Lech Poznan, £2.5m, Antonio Luna Seville, £2m, Nicklas Helenius Aalborg, £1.2m, Liam Prynn Torquay, £50,000
Out Courtney Cameron Torquay, free, Brett Holman Al Nasr, free, Eric Lichaj Nott'm Forest, free, Jean Makoun Rennes, free, Richard Dunne QPR, free
Cardiff City
Did they get what they wanted? The Welsh club can be pleased with their dealing as they acquired Premier League experience in Tottenham Hotspur's Steven Caulker and Peter Odemwingie, while spiky Chilean midfielder Gary Medel could prove a star buy for Malky Mackay.
The deals (selected)
In Gary Medel Sevilla, £9.5m, Steven Caulker Tottenham, £8m, Andreas Cornelius FC Copenhagen, £7.5m, Peter Odemwingie West Bromwich Albion, £2.5m, Kevin Théophile-Catherine Rennes, £2.1m, John Brayford Derby County, £1.5m, Simon Moore Brentford, £150,000, Maximiliano Amondarain CA Progreso, free
Out Elliot Parish Bristol City, free
Chelsea
Did they get what they wanted? They missed out on José Mourinho's principal target, Wayne Rooney, but signed a short-term alternative in Samuel Eto'o and will have enjoyed trumping Tottenham for Willian. Marco van Ginkel and André Schürrle were interesting, younger additions.
The deals (selected)
In Willian Anzhi £32m, André Schürrle Bayer Leverkusen, £18m, Marco van Ginkel Vitesse Arnhem, £9m, Christian Atsu Porto, £3.5m, Cristian Cuevas O'Higgins, £3m, Mark Schwarzer Fulham, free, Samuel Eto'o Anzhi, free
Out Victor Moses Liverpool, loan, Jeffrey Bruma PSV Eindhoven, £2.5m, Ross Turnbull Doncaster, free, Florent Malouda Trabzonspor, free
Crystal Palace
Did they get what they wanted? In as much as they completely overhauled the squad which won promotion, then they have achieved their aims. Ian Holloway had already recruited 11 players before deadline day, with the splurge continuing into the last few hours of the window.
The deals (selected)
In Dwight Gayle Peterborough, £6m, Jack Hunt Huddersfield, £2m, Jimmy Kébé Reading, £2m, Jose Campana Sevilla, £1.75m, Adrian Mariappa Reading, £1m, Stephen Dobie Brighton, £850,000, Elliot Grandin Blackpool, free, Kevin Phillips Blackpool, free, Marouane Chamakh Arsenal, free, Barry Bannan Aston Villa, undisc
Out Jermaine Easter Millwall, free
Everton
Did they get what they wanted? Busy in the final hours before the window close, eventually giving up Marouane Fellaini to Manchester United while keeping Leighton Baines. Brought in James McCarthy, Gareth Barry and Romelu Lukaku, on loan.
The deals (selected)
In Gareth Barry Man City, loan, James McCarthy Wigan, up to £14m, Romelu Lukaku Chelsea, loan, Arouna Koné Wigan, £6m, Joel Robles Atlético Madrid, £2m, Antolín Alcaraz Wigan, free
Out Marouane Fellaini Manchester Utd, undisclosed, Victor Anichebe West Brom, up to £5m, Jasper Johns Sheff Utd, free, Conor McAleny Brentford, loan, Jan Mucha Sovetov Samara, free, Francisco Junior Vitesse Arnhem, loan
Fulham
Did they get what they wanted? A new owner and some useful additions – Scott Parker and Darren Bent should thrive, Martin Stekelenburg represents pedigree and Adel Taarabt can excite. Fernando Amorebieta and Derek Boateng may need time to settle.
The deals (selected)
In Elsad Zverotic Young Boys, undisclosed, Maarten Stekelenburg Roma, £4.76m, Sasha Riether Cologne, £1.27m, Scott Parker Tottenham Hotspur, £2m, Fernando Amorebieta Athletic Bilbao, free, Derek Boateng Dnipro, free, Ange-Freddy Plumain Lens, free, Darren Bent Aston Villa, loan, Adel Taarabt QPR, loan
Out Mark Schwarzer Chelsea, free, Richard Peniket Tamworth, free, Alex Smith Swindon, free
Hull City
Did they get what they wanted? Steve Bruce has always been a great trader of players and this window was no exception. He will be particularly pleased with the signing of Tom Huddlestone. Maynor Figueroa's arrival from Wigan promises to reinforce a potentially vulnerable defence.
The deals (selected)
In Tom Huddlestone Tottenham, £5m, Curtis Davies Birmingham, £2.25m, Ahmed Elmohamady Sunderland, £2m, Allan McGregor Besiktas, £1.8m, Yannick Sagbo Evian, £1.5m, Maynor Figueroa Wigan, free, Steve Harper Newcastle, free, Danny Graham Sunderland, loan, Jake Livermore Tottenham, loan, Gedo Al Ahli, loan
Out Corry Evans Blackburn, £750,000
Liverpool
Did they get what they wanted? May have missed several high-profile targets but keeping hold of Luis Suárez was achieved with an impressive show of strength. Have added depth, youth, more invention in Victor Moses and a commanding centre-half in Mamadou Sakho.
The deals (selected)
In Mamadou Sakho PSG, £12m, Iago Aspas Celta Vigo, £9m, Simon Mignolet Sunderland, £9m, Luis Alberto Seville, £6.8m, Tiago Ilori Sporting Lisbon, £6.8m, Kolo Touré Manchester City, free, Victor Moses Chelsea, loan
Out Andy Carroll West Ham, £15m, Stewart Downing West Ham, £5m, Jonjo Shelvey Swansea, £5m, Jay Spearing Bolton, £2m, Dani Pacheco AD Alcorcon, undisc
Manchester City
Did they get what they wanted? Manchester City spent £88.5m on Fernandinho, Jésus Navas, Stevan Jovetic and Alvaro Negredo early to allow Manuel Pellegrini sufficient time to bed them into the squad. The later arrival of Martín Demichelis for £3.5m finished off a satisfactory summer.
The deals (selected)
In Fernandinho Shakhtar Donetsk, £30m, Stevan Jovetic Fiorentina, £22m, Jésus Navas Seville, £17m, Alvaro Negredo Seville, £16.4m, Martín Demichelis Atlético Madrid, £3.5m
Out Carlos Tévez Juventus, £10m, Denis Suárez Barcelona, £1.3m, Maicon Roma, undiscl, Wayne Bridge Reading, free, Roque Santa Cruz Málaga, free, Kolo Touré Liverpool, free, Gareth Barry Everton, loan
Manchester United
Did they get what they wanted? The answer ranges between a qualified "yes" to a resounding "no" after Marouane Fellaini arrived and Ander Herrera and Fabio Coentrão did not. David Moyes began the summer targeting Thiago Alcântara and Cesc Fábregas, and Leighton Baines also escaped United's grasp.
The deals (selected)
In Marouane Fellaini Everton, £27.5m, Guillermo Varela Penarol, £2.4m
Out Bebé Pacos de Ferreira, loan, Sean McGinty Sheffield United, free, Frederic Veseli Ipswich, free, John Cofie Barnsley, free, Reece Brown Watford, free, Ryan Tunnicliffe, Scott Wootton Leeds United, undisclosed
Newcastle United
Did they get what they wanted? Alan Pardew said he wanted two new strikers and to hold on to his best players this summer. He has achieved the latter while Loïc Rémy has arrived on a season-long loan from QPR. So Newcastle – who signed five players last January – are not in too bad shape.
The deals (selected)
In Olivier Kemen Metz, undisc, Loïc Rémy QPR, loan
Out James Perch Wigan, £750,000, JJ Hooper Northampton Town, free, Danny Simpson QPR, free, Steve Harper Hull City, free, Brad Inman Crewe, undisc, Mehdi Abeid Panathinaikos, loan, Shane Ferguson Birmingham, loan, Michael Richardson Accrington Stanley, loan, James Tavernier Shrewsbury, loan, Adam Campbell Carlisle, loan
Norwich City
Did they get what they wanted? Chris Hughton has been under pressure to add creativity and firepower to his side and he has certainly done so; the loss of Grant Holt has been offset by the signings of Ricky van Wolfswinkel, Gary Hooper, Johan Elmander and Nathan Redmond.
The deals (selected)
In Ricky van Wolfswinkel Sporting Lisbon, £8.5m, Leroy Fer FC Twente, £7m, Gary Hooper Celtic, £5m, Martin Olsson Blackburn, £2.5m, Nathan Redmond Birmingham, £2.2m, Javier Garrido Lazio, £1.28m, Carlo Nash Stoke, free, Johan Elmander Galatasaray, loan,
Out Grant Holt Wigan, £2m, James Vaughan Huddersfield, £1m, Tom Adeyemi Birmingham, free
Southampton
Did they get what they wanted? Southampton's dealings demonstrated this club's progression under Nicola Cortese's stewardship. Dejan Lovren was an eye-catching arrival from Lyon, Victor Wanyama enjoyed the Champions League at Celtic last season, while Pablo Osvaldo arrived with a reputation.
The deals (selected)
In Pablo Daniel Osvaldo Roma, £15m, Victor Wanyama Celtic, £12.5m, Dejan Lovren Lyon, £8.5m
Out Vegard Forren Molde FK, undisclosed, Dean Hammond Leicester, undisc, Sam Hoskins Yeovil, free, Richard Chaplow Millwall, free, Steve de Ridder Utrecht, free, Ryan Dickson Colchester, free, Ben Reeves MK Dons, free, Frazer Richardson Middlesbrough, free
Stoke City
Did they get what they wanted? A little mixed as Mark Hughes addressed the shortage of left-side players in his squad, but the window overall was a struggle. In total, the new manager brought in seven players and allowed 12 to leave, with Michael Owen also retiring.
The deals (selected)
In Erik Pieters PSV Eindhoven, £3m, Marko Arnautovic Werder Bremen, £2m, Alex Grant Portsmouth, free, Marc Muniesa Barcelona, free, Juan Agudelo New England Revolution, free, Stephen Ireland Aston Villa, loan
Out Matthew Lund Rochdale, free, Carlo Nash Norwich, free, Matthew Upson Brighton, free, Dean Whitehead Middlesbrough, free, Rory Delap Burton Albion, free
Sunderland
Did they get what they wanted? Only time will tell whether signing so many players at once will pay off. Italian winger Emanuele Giaccherini promises great things but Sunderland could regret losing out on Tom Huddlestone.
The deals (selected)
In Jozy Altidore AZ Alkmaar, £6.5m, Emanuele Giaccherini Juventus, £6.5m, Charis Mavrias Panathinaikos, £3m, Vito Mannone Arsenal, £1.5m, David Moberg Karlsson IFK Gothenburg, £1.5m, El-Hadji Ba Le Havre, £380,000, Ki Sung-Yeung Swansea City, loan, Fabio Borini Liverpool, loan, Andrea Dossena Napoli, loan
Out Simon Mignolet Liverpool, £9m, Ahmed Elmohamady Hull, £2m, James McClean Wigan, £1m, Stéphane Sessegnon, West Brom, undisclosed
Swansea City
Did they get what they wanted? The frustrations that cast doubt on Michael Laudrup's reign evaporated by the window's close. The £12m arrival of Wilfried Bony and £5m capture of Jonjo Shelvey improved the spine and deadline day delivered the Spanish Under-21 forward Álvaro Vázquez.
The deals (selected)
In Wilfried Bony Vitesse Arnhem, £12m, Jonjo Shelvey Liverpool, £5m, Jordi Amat Espanyol, £2.5m, Alejandro Pozuelo Real Betis, £425,000, Jonathan de Guzmán Villareal, loan, Álvaro Vázquez Getafe, loan
Out Kemy Agustien Brighton, free, David Cornell St Mirren, free, Mark Gower Charlton, free, Kyle Bartley Birmingham, loan
Tottenham Hotspur
Did they get what they wanted? Tottenham wanted to keep Gareth Bale but that proved impossible and so the next best thing was to add quality to make the squad stronger. They have attacked the market, breaking their transfer record three times.
The deals (selected)
In Erik Lamela Roma, £30m, Roberto Soldado Valencia, £26m, Paulinho Corinthians, £17m, Christian Eriksen Ajax, £11.5m, Étienne Capoue T oulouse, £9m, Vlad Chiriches Steaua Bucharest, £8.5m, Nacer Chadli FC Twente, £7m
Out Gareth Bale Real Madrid, £86m, Steven Caulker Cardiff, £8m, Clint Dempsey Seattle Sounders, £6m, Tom Huddlestone Hull, £5m, Scott Parker Fulham, £2m. Benoît Assou-Ekotto QPR, loan, Tom Carroll QPR, loan
West Bromwich Albion
Did they get what they wanted? Much depends on whether Nicolas Anelka enjoys an Indian summer. Scott Sinclair has much to prove and Stéphane Sessègnon will test Steve Clarke's man-management although Victor Anichebe offers a viable alternative.
The deals (selected)
In Stéphane Sessègnon Sunderland, £5.5m, Victor Anichebe, Everton, up to £5m, Nicolas Anelka Shanghai Shenhua, free, Diego Lugano PSG, free, Goran Popov Dynamo Kiev, loan, Morgan Amalfitano Marseille, loan, Matej Vydra Udinese, loan, Scott Sinclair Man City, loan
Out Peter Odemwingie Cardiff, £2.5m, Marc-Antoine Fortuné Wigan, free, Gonzalo Jara Reyes Nottingham Forest, free, Jerome Thomas Crystal Palace, free
West Ham United
Did they get what they wanted? There has been ambition on show, with the club breaking their transfer record to sign Andy Carroll on a permanent basis but there has not been too much else and given that Carroll was at Upton Park last season, the starting XI will not look wildly different.
The deals (selected)
In Andy Carroll Liverpool, £15m, Stewart Downing Liverpool, £5m, Danny Whitehead Stockport, undisclosed, Adrián Real Betis, free, Razvan Rat Shakhtar Donetsk, free
Out Robert Hall Bolton, compensation, Jake Larkins Leyton Orient, free, Gary O'Neil QPR, free
