From @sportingintel on Twitter:



- Watford (!!!) was No. 3 in net spending. They spent more than Arsenal, Spurs, Villa, Saints, Swans and Norwich COMBINED this season.

- I'm sure the numbers can change, but Tottenham's 53.4 in and 53.4 out is remarkable.

- Arsenal spent less than everybody, which kind of surprised me.

- United and Chelsea made profits in the January window!

- Lulz if Newcastle get relegated (they probably won't) after spending all that.

There's some shady shite going on behind the scenes at that club.

That Newcastle spending spells double drop if they don't stay up.

Hope the swans have enough to survive. Lots of spending at the bottom of the table by the others

Did City have to buy a $150,000 washing machine or something this January?

I figured someone like a Swansea or a West Brom would spend less.

The "little" clubs are making nice moves. Again, another reason the Premier League is the best and most competitive in the world.

Yeah, that's about where I expected Arsenal. We bought an older #2 keeper (who may win POY if Arsenal finishes 1st) and a guy from the Swiss league. I expect that to change big time this summer with Arsene likely needing to replace the depth of Rosicky, Flamini, and Arteta.
