Kopp flop: Was probably always on the cards.

In a record January transfer window since its induction in 2003, while Manchester City dominated the headlines for their pursuit of Kaka and various rumored expenditures, it was a host of other clubs that really seemed to take advantage of the dying hours of the transfer window.

Tottenham: With the Redknapp renaissance having its highs and lows, the Spurs boardroom seem to have found it necessary to go back and resign just about everyone they've recently let go. Bringing back Darren Bent,Pascal Chimbonda and Robbie Keane shows that the Juande Ramos era at White Hart Lane did much more harm than good, with Gio Dos Santos rumored to be seeking a way out of London. Spurs also landed highly sought after Wilson Palacios. The signing of Carlo Cudicini was a smart one, and should spell the end for the disasterous Gomes.

Arsenal: The stingy London side seem poised to land the ridiculously oversought, overhyped, and overpriced Andrei Arshavin from Zenit St-Petersburg. For such a phenomenon on the field, why was Zenit calling around Premier League clubs in the eleventh hour trying to scour up a bid?

Manchester City: No Kaka, but probably for the best for their current state. Signed Craig Bellamy who has already scored two games in, Wayne Bridge who has already been at fault for two goals, Nigel De Jong who is not quite Vincent Kompany, and Shay Given who is most likely the keeper of the season so far. It looks like Hughes skipped buying new centerbacks, in the hopes that Given could marshall the back line more effectivly than the young Joe Hart.

Chelsea: Little on their agenda as promised, but the loan signing of Ricardo Queresma could solve some of their injury problems, although the Portoguese winger has failed to establish himself anywhere he goes outside Portugal.

Manchester United: The loaning out of Manucho was probably the most noteworthy, but bringing in the Serbian pair was the only acquisition. For a club with such a strong injury crisis, one would think SAF would look for reinforcments. Although results seem to indicate that they're doing just fine.
