A record-breaking summer transfer window is in the books.

Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City all broke their own club records to bring new faces in as Premier League teams spent £1.41billion wheeling and dealing. The Gunners added five new faces including two on deadline day itself with Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney joining Chelsea's David Luiz at the Emirates.

Spurs smashed their record purchase to get Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon before Giovani Lo Celso of Real Betis and Fulham's Ryan Sessegnon arrived before 5pm on Thursday. Sadly for them there was to be no Paulo Dybala, however.

And don't forget Manchester United who made Harry Maguire the most expensive defender in history as they bid to return to the top four this season. Meanwhile the champions quietly spent over £100m once again adding Rodri and Joao Cancelo to make the deepest squad of them all even deeper.

But who had the best window of all them? And, equally importantly, who had an absolute stinker? This is what we think and is in no way wrong at all.
