Think that is about right.
Unfortunately Woolwich did well (on paper at least) but still think their defence may haunt them again this season.
Man U's business looks a bit suspect.
You haven't mentioned Villa who did a lot of business but i think a lack of top drawer striker could be an issue.
West Ham fans seem happy with their business.

.... What on earth were Crystal Palace doing this transfer window.
 

I’m not sure why Arsenal are receiving praise. They allowed Ramsey to leave for nothing and got buttons for Koscielny. They replaced him with David Luiz and brought in Tierney who admittedly might be a good buy. Their back line still looks a disaster though with Mustafi and Luiz the first choice pairing. They’ve not sorted their midfield issues and now have another player that they have to get in the team alongside Lacazette and Aubemayang.

I don’t think many teams have had a window where they’ve done everything they wanted.

The Ramsey departure has been known about since the new year, and he missed large parts of last season. He's going to be missed a lot but we have brought in Ceballos on loan who looks like a quality replacement, if only for a season.

Our attack and midfield looks very solid now, and we have plenty of options where we didn't before. I agree that the defence is a worry, but Mustafi/ Luiz is absolutely not the first choice pairing. Sokratis is our first-choice centre-back and I imagine he and Luiz will partner each other, at least until Rob Holding is back and fit again.

We've addressed multiple areas of the squad with a (relatively) limited budget due to another season of Europa League participation. It's our best window in years.

They have more centre back options than us like...
 
So strange the way the game has gone since the rise of the internet. Soon we’ll have tables quantifying tables. Heaven knows what would have Ben made of some of Kendall’s preseason spending.Gray,Reid,Power would have caused major meltdowns, and yet...
 
People will say villa have done stupid business buying all these players. Saying they have done a Fulham etc.

I like Villas business. For a newly promoted team I now think they will have enough to stay up.
