LA MANGA – Winning the transfer window can be overrated.

By all accounts it was Liverpool who did it 12 months ago, only for them to mount the limpest of Premier League title defences.

Brentford and Bournemouth flogged their best players, were tipped to struggle and yet prospered thanks to cute recruitment.

This year Arsenal fancy their chances of being crowned best buyers after signing Bruno Guimaraes and making a serious play for superstar forward Vinicius Junior.

Worst window? Consensus seems to be forming around Newcastle.
