Arsenal - D
They needed some added attacking flair to help with their title push. Losing Gabriel Jesus to injury should've triggered plans to bring in a striker, whether on loan, like Randal Kolo-Muani, or a permanent option, but with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus out, their attack lacks a bit of flair.

Marquinhos - Cruzeiro - Loan
Aston Villa - B
Villa were by far the most active club, but it looks like they have only looked at the short terms, selling young assets in Jhon Duran and Jaden Philogene, and whilst they got big fees, it seems very short sighted. They did bring in potential quality in Malen, Rashford and Asensio, but have all struggled for consistency and are a risk for Villa to make big changes in the middle of the season.

Whilst Bournemouth could've been more bold in this window to maybe help for their push for European football, I don't mind their approach to the window, letting go of players in Aarons and Billing who aren't in their future plans, and investing more in young talent with bright potential futures.

With Brentford sitting comfortably in mid-table, there was no real reason for them to go all-out this window, so they swapped right backs, brining the younger and higher potential Kayode for the older Roerslev.

Whilst Brighton went big again this January, they again haven't fixed their big defensive issues. Whilst Cashin could plug some holes, they continue to not invest big numbers in their defence, which definitely has cost them at times this season.

Chelsea - C-
The reason Chelsea are getting a C- is the confusing nature of their dealings, loaning out players they have recently brought and played roles in their Europa Conference League endeavours. Also, like Brighton, they are crying out for a better quality centre-back, which would've really helped for their Champions League push.

Crystal Palace - B-
With Crystal Palace settled in mid-table after their poor start to the season, there was no need to go all out this window. Bringing in quality in Chilwell and potential in Esse is a good window, especially in January, but losing Chalobah back to Chelsea and not replacing him, leaving them severely lacking in depth at centre-back could cause them problems if they pick up some injuries.

Everton - C
A few weeks ago, when Everton were in the relegation zone, this window would've been an F, but with them creating a comfortable back ,there was no need for panic signings. Bringing in a young Alcaraz to bolster their aging is a positive, but a couple more investment into younger quality attackers could've really helped them in their recent push up the table.

Fulham did not have to do anything significant this window, and just keeping a lot of their quality players is a positive, and adding to their already good depth with Willian can only help in a potential European push this season.

Ipswich Town - D
Yes, they brought in some good quality in Philogene, but Ipswich didn't strengthen in the areas which could've really helped them in their relegation fight. Ipswich have been starving for quality in their central defence and midfield, and Ipswich could've added some quality players, even just on loan to aid their fight at the bottom of the league.

Like Ipswich, Leicester should've been active in this window as their fate has not been sealed yet, but instead they have kept their side mostly the same. With the success of having Facundo Buenonote on loan this season, you'd have thought the loan market would interest them, but staying put as they are could cost them a place in the Premier League next season.

With Liverpool barely active in the summer, it could've been prudent for them to plan ahead this January with a few young players they could bed in over the second half of the season. Despite this, they are clearly on a roll this season, and there's no need to risk disruption when they still have everything to play for.

Whilst City have spent an absurd amount of money in January, they still haven't fixed their big problems in the squad, with a lack of a natural right back and lack of legs and ball-winning skills in the midfield. The players they have bought may come good and contribute in the future, but with Champions League on the line this season, you'd have thought City would fix their problems areas.

With all the injury problems Spurs have had this season, and the position they find themselves in the league, it was imperative they added some players and despite it coming late on, they did add some quality, with potential as well. Whilst their signings aren't certain starters when everyone is fit, they have potential, especially Tel, and it fits into the signings they have made recently.

With West Ham going through a lot behind the scenes in this window, bringing in Graham Potter and a new recruitment department, there was never going to be a lot action at the Hammers. Whilst Ferguson is a good loan option, after Niklas Fulkrug and Michal Antonio's injuries, not having a buy option is not ideal as even if he helps West Ham now, he will be back at Brighton this summer.
