EPL 2018-19: Rating how the top 6 teams have fared in the transfer window so far

So who is winning the window?

At this point, admittedly before the end of the window, it seems Liverpool are "winning" it.

Overall, the club is on the up, both on and off the pitch, and their signings thus far reflect this.

However, making signings is one thing. It's about how well they integrate, and Klopp must know he is under pressure to succeed.

Still, making signings is an important step in success, and Liverpool are ahead at this juncture.

Ratings

1- Liverpool

2- Arsenal

3- Man City

4- Chelsea

5- Manchester United

6- Tottenham

There are mitigating factors of course. Spurs have their new stadium, and City hold a balanced team. So they may not be looking for huge acquisitions. Arsenal's brand is strong, but a lack of Champions League football means they cannot pay the highest fees.

And having a good or bad window is not even key. We've seen in previous seasons that it hasn't worked out. Everton had a good window in 2017 but performed very poorly. Arsenal only signed Cech in 2015 but finished second in the following season.

However, whilst nothing is certain, including success, it's always apt to put oneself in the best shape possible.

And who knows, whilst City are favourites to win the league, Liverpool's spending could help them win their first title since their recently knighted former player, manager, and legend.

At this point also, Liverpool have spent the most, and it's been an active window for the Premier League overall.
