This year, the transfer windows had the good, the bad, and the Rooney. Right now we’ll consider the good.

We’ve had the pleasure of some young players showcasing their future potential and what they have to offer the game. Other signings of experience, disillusioned us with some of them being named poorer than peasant poor.

After an all but well-contested campaign – which was won emphatically by the citizens of Manchester City – one has to ask after some record-breaking transfers. Is it really that important to by the best player for ridiculous money?

Or… Buy a player best suited for the team’s dynamics and gamble with less money in the hat? Some serious money was dropped in the Premier League but for the most part, managers were smart about who to sign. Here are the top 5 transfers for this season (number 1 WON’T surprise you.)

You decide for yourself after the slideshow – who won this battle between smart buys and big money spending. Ranking them in order from five to one. One being the signing of the season.
