#4 Burnley
Players in: Ben Gibson, Matej Vydra, Vinnie Steels and Joe Hart
Players out: Dean Marney, Chris Long, Tom Anderson and Scott Arfield
A less than impressive window at Turf Moor will be a cause of concern for everyone. Burnely's heroics last season means that they may just be playing through the gruelling Europa League this season. They do not have the depth to do that, with bare minimum signings. Even if you keep that aside, they haven't added enough quality to keep hold of their position from last season.
Ben Gibson is a great defensive addition and could end up in a wonderful partnership with Tarkowski. That defensive stability is the only good move made by Burnley. Vydra is a Championship level striker, who comes up to the Premier League with question marks over him. They already have one Chris Wood, so this is an interesting buy. Joe Hart is the biggest name but he will probably become second fiddle to Nick Pope when he recovers from injury. This is an average window, leaving so much more to be desired.
Grade: C
#5 Cardiff City
Players in: Josh Murphy, Bobby Reid, Greg Cunningham, Victor Camarasa, Harry Arter and Alex Smithies
Players out: Ben Wilson, Lee Camp, Matty Kennedy, Omar Bogle and Greg Halford
The first of our three promoted teams, Cardiff's window isn't a very promising one. While we will get to Fulham and Wolves, Cardiff hasn't done anything worthwhile in the market for them to show that they will retain their Premier League status. Very good Championship players don't necessarily make for good Premier League players and that is the biggest problem that Cardiff will face.
Of all their signings, two are from the Championship and the two that aren't are loan moves. That is not nearly good enough for a team that was any way considered to have overachieved through promotion. No doubt that players like Josh Murphy and Bobby Reid aren't great young players, but will they be enough to keep Cardiff up? It is a disappointing window for the Welsh team.
Grade: D
