The summer transfer window is over and a record £3.49billion was spent across the Premier League, with over £500m of that coming just on deadline day itself.
Transfer fees of over £100m have become commonplace in the Premier League, with Enzo Fernandez (£125m from Chelsea to Manchester City), Bradley Barcola (£123m from Paris Saint-Germain to Liverpool), Morgan Rogers (£117m from Aston Villa to Chelsea), Elliot Anderson (£116 from Nottingham Forest to Manchester City) and Sandro Tonali (£100m from Newcastle to Tottenham) all reaching that mark.
Eleven of the 20 clubs in the Premier League broke their transfer record this summer, with City the biggest spenders, splashing out £458m on new players - another record for a single window. Chelsea (£349m) and Tottenham (£302m) went big this summer, while newly-promoted Ipswich spent a staggering £171m.
All this spending doesn't guarantee success. There are bound to be some high-profile flops this season, while some clubs managed to miss out on their targets altogether. Here Mirror Football's reporters give their takes on the busiest summer of spending ever.
