lovelystyle

With just under a month to go before the summer transfer window slams shut, the transfer activity of English Premier League Terrell Owens Jersey  clubs shows no sign of slowing down. Indeed, a recent report from Deloittes Sports Busine s Group stated that this years transfer window spend .While the big name and big money signings naturally attracting all the headlines, Ive decided to take a close look at the under-the-radar transfers that have happened so far this window.The big names might help get bums on seats and generate a lot of preseason buzz, but usually its the bargain buys that help improve the depth of a squad and can mean the difference between a relegation fight or mid-table safety. By the looks of it this season will beno different, with a lot of clubsdiving into the secondary market to nab shrewd bargain signings.Heres my top XI Premier League bargain buys of the transfer window:Goalkeeper: David Ospina (Arsenal  3m)The goalkeeping position has been a major problem for Arsenal in recent years. The North London club were buoyed by Wojciech Szczesnys emergence last season as a No. 1 who could be trusted, but there remained a need for a top quality back-up keeper who could not only take some of the pre sure of Szczesny but even challenge the Pole for a starting position. Enter Colombias No. 1 Davis Ospina, who had an impre sive World Cup and has arrived from French club Nice for the relatively paltry amount of 3 million.Left back: Kieran Richardson (Aston Villa  free)Due to their current financial difficulties, Aston Villa are playing the free market out of nece sity rather than choice Javon Kinlaw Jersey . That hasnt stopped them picking up some great bargains, with experienced and consistent Premier League performers like Philippe Senderos and Joe Cole bolstering the squad for free. The signing of Kieran Richardson from relegated Fulham on a free is the most eye-catching though. The former Manchester United, Sunderland and West Brom player has plenty of experience and was a stand-out player in a poor Fulham side last year.Right back: Bacary Sagna (Manchester City  free)Although technically a free transfer, Sagnas wage demands would make this a very expensive transfer for any other Premier League club. For Manchester City though, its small change, and getting a full-back of Sagnas quality to compete with Pablo Zabaleta on a free is a great bit of busine s.Centre back: Brede Hangeland (Crystal Palace  free)Another Fulham player who has moved on for free, Hangeland was considered one of the best centre-backs in Trey Lance Jersey  the country a few years ago  but his stock has dropped along with Fulhams fortunes. Crystal Palace bo s Tony Pulis knows how to get the best out of his defenders though, so we can expect Hangeland to be back to his dominating best at Crystal Palace this season.Centre back: Joleon Lescott (West Brom  free)Another defender whos stock has dropped in recent years, Lescott has finally broken free of the no-mans land that is Manchester Citys reserves and now has a chance to prove himself at the top level once again with West Brom. For them, getting a player of Lescotts calibre and experience on a free is a great bargain.Defensive midfielder: Gareth Barry (Everton  free)Gareth Barry proved while on loan at The Toffees last season that he still had what it takes to compete at the top level. Evidently he didnt do enough to convince Manuel Pellegrini that he should return to the centre of Man Citys midfield, but Everton were more than happy to snap the former Villa man up on a permanent transfer.Centre midfielder: Emre Can (Liverpool  9.8m)While a transfer fee of 9.8 million may not look like a bargain, if Emre Can manages to fulfil the huge potential he has shown at Bayer Leverkusen then Liverpool may well have the signing of the season on their hands. Can is an inventive, talented midfielder with a great football brain  attributes that could see him become a star for Liverpool in the years to come.Centre midfielder: Frank Lampard (Manchester City  loan)After being deemed surplus to requirements at Chelsea, Frank Lampard now finds himself at Premier League champions Manchester City until January  San Francisco 49Ers Jersey following his move to their new MLS franchise New York City FC. Lampards consistent goal-scoring record in the Premier League suggests this could well prove to be an astute bit of busine s for Man City.Attacking midfielder: Tom Ince (Hull City  free)Everyone has reportedly been interested in signing Tom Ince from Blackpool over the past few years, and he was very close to joining Inter Milan this summer before opting to join Hull City on a free. Hull had a great season last year, but lacked pace and creativity in attack  which is exactly what Tom Ince specialises in.Forward: Bojan Krkic (Stoke City  3m)Anyone who has followed European football over the past few years will know all about Bojan  the hot prospect from Barcelona who has been bounced around some of the continents leading clubs, including Roma and Ajax. Now he has signed for Stoke City for an undisclosed fee thought to be in the region of 3m, and could well be the player that elevates Mark Hughes side from mid-table to the top six.Striker: Didier Drogba (Chelsea  free)Following the signing of Diego Costa from Atletico Madrid, Jose Mourinho has made perhaps the shrewdest of all signings this summer by bringing in former Stamford Bridge hero Didier Drogba as back-up. He wont be first choice, but hell be very able back-up and can only help Costa acclimatise to the Premier League.Although there is big money  Ricky Watters Jersey being spent in the Premier League this summer, a lot of clubs have still got an eye on saving money by taking advantage of bargains.What bargain buys do you think will have the best impact next season?
