Fresh from a glorious World Cup and a frenetic transfer window, the Premier League returned last weekend to the joy of the football loving public who had to go a whole four weeks without any competitive matches to watch.

The start of a new season is a time for clubs to showcase their big money signings and justify why these athletes are worth the money splashed out on them.

This transfer window was an expensive one with over £1bn spent in total. Liverpool topped the table in terms of transfer expenditure, parting with £177m across the summer, Chelsea were the second biggest spenders with £128m followed surprisingly by newly promoted Fulham who spent £105.3m.
