Deadline Day has come and gone and needless to say, it wasn’t the most captivating 24 hours in Premier League history.
In fact, the whole of the January 2017 transfer window was a little underwhelming. Whilst the bottom six spent as much as the rest of the 14 teams combined, the top six made just two signings – Gabriel Jesus, who Manchester City really signed last summer, and non-league youngster Cohen Bramall, who joined Arsenal for a nominal fee.

Likely due to the fact they’re currently nine points clear at the Premier League’s summit, Chelsea were amongst the quietest clubs. Although there were suggestions of a £40million bid for Celtic’s Moussa Dembele on Deadline Day, the Blues’ only business was on the outward front, selling Oscar to Shanghai SIPG for a staggering £60million, whilst also granting departures for John Obi Mikel, Branislav Ivanovic and Marco van Ginkel.
Of course, no one would turn their nose up at £60million for a benchwarmer, but there have been some criticisms of Antonio Conte failing to boost a squad that’s challenging for the Premier League title and will almost certainly be battling in the Champions League again next season.
With that in mind, we’re keen to discover the opinions of our readers; so, Chelsea fans, are you pleased with your club’s efforts during the January transfer window?
