FOP's Transfers Weekly.

We can't stop saying happy new year to our fans thank you for supporting as always. Another transfer window has come so that means we will be giving you updates on Transfers Weekly. Here are some early transfers,

Emmanuel Emenike
Fenerbahce To West Ham
FEE: Loan
Image result for Emenike
The Nigerian International has not been himself since he was highest goal scorer at the AFCON 2013 with controversies at parent club Fenerbahce and could not get a goal at AL-Ain. Nigerians have been flourishing in the Premier League this season, so Emenike can charge himself and produce the form he is known for. He will suit West-Ham's style of football with his strength to hold up play and surely he can pop in some goals

Transfer Rating: 5/10

Florian Thauvin
Newcastle To Marseille
FEE: Loan
Image result for thauvin
The tricky youngster did not have things his way at Newcastle and he could not show his quality in front of the geordie crowd due to limited chances and he could not deal with the pace and strength of the Premier League. He has gone back to Marseille where he could build himself and come back with a bang. Goodluck to him.

Transfer Rating: 5/10

Seydou Doumbia
AS Roma To Newcastle
FEE: Loan
Image result for doumbia
Seydou Doumbia was on loan to Cska Moscow earlier scoring 11 goals in 21 appearances, that's an average of a goal every other game. He seems not to be liked at Roma so another loan move is due and this time its to the premier league with Newcastle and the 28 year old can show his quality in England.

Transfer Rating: 7/10

Mario Suarez
Fiorentina To Watford
FEE: £4,000,000
Image result for mario suarez
This might just be the signing of the window as no one saw this coming. His creativity and dogged style will help the Watford midfield and this could not only cement their stay in the Premier League but could also boost their chances in qualifying for Europe. Watch out for Watford.
















Transfer Rating: 9/10

Alberto Paloschi
Chievo To Swansea
FEE: £8,000,000
Image result for paloschi alberto

The 26 year old will wear the no9 shirt for Swansea and he could help them get goals in which they have lacked in recent weeks. He has scored 8 goals this season in 21 appearances and he can boast about a shooting accuracy at 50%.

Transfer Rating: 5/10
Sandro
QPR To West Brom
FEE: Loan (6 months).
Image result for sandro
The Power center midfielder has had an injury ravaged career and it showed at QPR as well making only 28 appearances since september 2014. He has a chance to prove his fitness again as he joins West-Brom and can get a fresh start to show his quality.

Transfer Rating: 6/10

Eder
Sampdoria To Inter
FEE: Loan (2 years).
Eder Citadin.jpg
The Italy International has got his dream move to Inter and with his 12 goals and 2 assists this season He can help reduce the burden on captain Mauro Icardi. He has a shooting accuracy at 60% and has created 16 chances in total in the Serie A. It's probably because of his age that's why he was given a two-year loan.

Transfer Rating: 7/10

Andrea Ranocchia 
Inter To Sampdoria
FEE: Loan
Image result for ranocchia
After he was stripped off the captaincy he has fallen down the pecking order in Roberto Mancini's squad and playing time does not come his way. So a move was very likely for the Italian. Sampdoria have bailed him out so there's still a chance he can find his form back in order to give Antonio Conte a headache in his selection for EURO 2016.

Transfer Rating: 6/10

Lamine Kone
Lorient To Sunderland
FEE: Undisclosed
Image result for Lamine Kone
We are sure the lad will be happy that the deal has been done after a merry go round saga about the transfer. He is a tall powerful center-halve that has won 11 tackles with a success rate at 48% , also has 50 interceptions, 97 clearances and 12 blocks. This man could help Sunderland shore up their leaky defence as they push for survival to remain in the league.

Transfer Rating: 5/10

Ashley Cole
AS Roma To LA Galaxy
FEE: Free
Image result for ashley cole
The veteran left-back has had it tough this season as he hardly got games under his belt. So he decided to terminate his contract with the capital club and get a move to the MLS were he will join LA Galaxy. With most of the old legs going to the MLS, Cole should meet some familiar faces and use this time to get retirement money.

Transfer Rating: 5/10

Stephan El Shaarawy
AC Milan To AS Roma
FEE: Loan
Image result for el shaarawy
The 23 year-old attacker was on loan to AS Monaco and in 15 appearances in Ligue 1 he did not find the net at all. He was frozen out of the team by the Monaco gaffer and he found away to force a move back to Italy. He did not enjoy his football at Monaco so lets hope he can revive himself in the capital.

Transfer Rating: 5/10

Fredy Guarin
Inter To Shanghai Shenhua
FEE: Undisclosed
Image result for guarin
Another surprise move to China, we all taught Guarin was one of the top players for Roberto Mancini's side but he is being let go. Again we can say the money paid for him must be good and the Colombian International can improve the Chinese Super League. 

Transfer Rating; 6/10

Alexandre Pato
Corinthians To Chelsea
FEE: Loan
Image result for alexandre pato
As at 2008 Pato was the golden boy of his generation but he found it hard to reach this expectation due to him always being in the treatment room. A move back to Brazil has settled him and now he has appearances numbers under his belt, the only problem is his goal ratio is still a bit poor for a striker of his calibre. He will be back-up for Diego Costa at Chelsea and this move could help show his quality and build his confidence. He is 26 so this should be his primetime

Transfer Rating: 5/10

Andros Townsend
Tottenham To Newcastle
FEE: Undisclosed
Image result for townsend

Sad for him to leave but he needs game time and that is not what he is getting at Spurs. They're reports of a fall out between him and Tottenham coach Pochettino but we will leave that for another day. At Newcastle he will get a fresh start and try and fight for his place in England's EURO 2016 squad.

Transfer Rating: 5/10.

Emmanuel Adebayor
Free Agent To Crystal Palace
FEE: Free

The 31-year old has not had any game time after he was released by Spurs earlier this season. He is back now with Crystal Palace and he might just be the missing piece to their puzzle due to the striker misfortunes all season. Adebayor always has a good first spell in most of the clubs he has been to so Palace could do with that form in their push for European Football.

Transfer Rating: 7/10

Ramires
Chelsea To Jangsu
FEE: £25,000,000
Image result for ramires
This is one transfer no one saw coming it was lowkey and very unexpected. Ramires is a very humble player and always does his duties when called upon so we don't know why Chelsea are letting him go. The price is he is being sold for is very good knowing they're making a profit on the Brazilian. We don't see Ramires staying in China for long but lets give the benefit of doubt.

Transfer Rating: 8/10

Gervinho
AS Roma To Hebei China
FEE: £15,000,000
Image result for gervinho
The tricky winger was always looking for a move away from Roma since he start of the season and now he has got his move. People will say its weird for him to move to China but on the other side this move improves their league, the only problem we have with it is that these Chinese teams hardly keep these world stars but lets see how it goes.

Transfer Rating: 5/10.

Victor Valdes
Manchester United To Standard Liege
FEE: Loan
Image result for victor Valdes
The decorated goalie was not part of Van Gaal plans all season and he needed to move after completing his rehabilitation process. His experience will work for Liege in their push for the belgian title.

Transfer Rating: 5/10

Daniel Amartey
FC Copenhagen To Leicester City
FEE: Undisclosed

Image result for daniel amartey

The young Ghanaian International has been raved about as one of the next to blow out of the African continent and this move could be a stepping stone to greater  heights. He averages at least 4 defensive actions per game and has won 45% of his duels. Leicester have once again boosted their defensive ranks as they look to shock the Premier League with the position they finish this season.

Transfer Rating: 5/10.

Papy Djilobodji
Chelsea To Werder Bremen 
FEE: loan
Image result for Papy Djilobodji
The Senegalese International played only 59 seconds for this blues since he joined them in the summer, he was never favoured at Chelsea and Bremen have been interested in him for a while now so both parties agreed a loan move for the player. Papy can play at CB and at CM so Werder have more numbers in their ranks as they look to push up the table.

Transfer Rating: 5/10

Steve Harper
Free Agent To Sunderland
FEE: Free
Image result for steve harper
The veteran has signed on a short term loan to help Sunderland in their survival premier league chase. Sunderland needed to fill the space Pantilimon left and the experience of Harper could help young Jordan Pickford develop his game and put a little competition in the goalkeeping area for Sunderland. This move won't go down well with Newcastle fans.

Transfer Rating: 4/10.
Giuseppe Rossi
Fiorentina To Levante
FEE: loan

Very good player but injuries have damaged his career. Rossi has only made 11 appearances for the Viola this season and has no goal to show.He has fallen down the pecking order so a move was likely for him. At Levante he will get more game time and work on his fitness. If he has a second good season he might just have a wildcard chance at going to EURO 2016 with italy.

Transfer Rating: 6/10

Gokhan Tore
Besiktas To Atletico
FEE: £15,000,000
Image result for gokhan tore
Atletico have pulled one from under their hat again as they completed the signing of Gokhan Tore from Besiktas. He remain at the turkish club for the remainder of the season and will join up with his new team next summer. He is a tricky forward who has won close to 50% of his duels and has a passing accuracy at 82%. Atletico might just be preparing for life without Antoine Griezmann with move

Transfer Rating: 5/10

Andrej Kramaric
Leicester City To Hoffenheim 
Fee: loan
Image result for kramaric
The record signing hardly got game time this season and a move was imminent for him in January so when Hoffenheim came with an offer the croat did not waste time in packing his bags. Hoffenheim have found it hard to score goals this season so Kramaric could just be their key to success and help them beat relegation


Transfer Rating: 6/10.
Costel Pantilimon
Sunderland To Watford
Fee: Undisclosed
Image result for pantilimon
The romanian was dropped from number one goalie at Sunderland after a series of blunders and mistakes by him. Sunderland Gaffer Sam Allardyce had to call back Jordan Pickford from his loan spell to boost his goalkeeping ranks and this probably convinced Pantilimon that he has to move. Watford came knocking and he has chose to join them but we're sure he will definitely be number two to Heurelho Gomes, who has been in fine form all season.

Transfer Rating: 4/10

Steven Naismith
Everton To Norwich
FEE: £8,000.000
Image result for naismith everton
The forward has had limited chances to play this season due to the form of Arouna Kone and Deulofeu, His coming off the bench hat-trick against Chelsea won't be forgotten easily, and it will serve as a remainder that there's a poacher in there somewhere. He will definitely get into the Norwich starting 11 and also he can play anywhere across the forward line. It's a good option for coach Alex Neil, which helps boost their chances of survival in the premier league

Transfer Rating: 7/10

Alessio Cerci
AC Milan To Genoa
FEE: Undisclosed
Image result for cerci
Cerci has had a torrid season this term. In 13 appearances he has scored no goals and registered only one assist. Surely things are not going on well for him at Milan so maybe a move to Genoa can revive him and boost his chances for an Euro 2016 ticket.

Transfer Rating: 5/10.

Rolando Mandragora
Genoa To Juventus
FEE: Undisclosed
Image result for mandragora football
He is basically one for the future and at 18 he is already getting lots of plaudits. He has played five times for Genoa this season and he won of 50% of his duels, boasting of a pass accuracy at 81%. With most of the Italian keys getting to the twilight of their career's Mandragora's time will come up soon enough

Transfer Rating: 5/10.

Timm Klose
Wolfsburg To Norwich
FEE: Undisclosed
Image result for timm klose

Norwich have had a busy window thus far with in and outs. They have marshalled their defense after the signing of Ivan Pinto and now Timm Klose will join them in other to push their charge for Survival in the league. The Swiss defender had limited chances at Wolfsburg and with this move he will surely get more playing time. He averages at least 6 defensive actions per game and has won over 50% of his duels.

Transfer Rating: 6/10

Nordin Amrabat
Malaga To Norwich
FEE: £6.100,000
Image result for amrabat
With Victor Ibarbo and Alessandro Diamanti leaving the hornets this window they've dug into the market by signing Nordin Amrabat. We can't say it's a step-up from latter but this just shows intent by Watford to remain in the Premier League. Nordin has created 17 chances in 13 appearances for Malaga this season with an average pass accuracy at 72%. Am sure Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney will be licking their lips.

Transfer Rating: 5/10

Charlie Austin
QPR To Southampton
FEE: £4,000,000
Image result for charlie austin
Everyone expected Charlie to leave QPR last summer after he scored 18 premier league goals in the 2014/2015 season. He's what you call a poacher in the box and will give the saints another dimension to their attack. Austin has scored 10 goals in 16 appearances for QPR this season and can boast of an impressive 49% shooting accuracy. He will surely help the saints to push up the table and with more good performances could get a wildcard into England's Euro 2016 squad.

Transfer Rating: 7/10

Sam Byram 
Leeds To West-Ham
FEE: £3 Million
Image result for Sam Byram
The versatile player has told Leeds he will not sign a new contract so they are looking to cash in on him this window. Byram can play as a winger or fullback and he loves bombing forward to join the attack which most definitely suits the style of play for West Ham, He also has an eye for goal as he has scored 3 in 21 appearances for Leeds this season. He averages at least 2 defensive actions per game and also has an average pass accuracy at 75%. He is surely one for the future look out for him.

Transfer Rating: 7/10

Ciro Immobile
Sevilla To Torino
FEE: Loan
Image result for ciro immobile
Since Ciro Immobile left Turin for Germany last season Immobile has not been the same at all. His numbers in his first season at Dortmund was nothing to write about and has had limited chances at Sevilla so as soon as he got the chance to go back to Turin he took it and this move could help revive himself in other to be in contention for Italy's Euro 2016 squad.

Transfer Rating: 7/10.



Henri Saivet
Bordeaux To Newcastle
FEE: £4.5 Million

The Geordies have gone into the french market once more to look for players that can improve their team. Saivet is a winger and plays attacking midfield as well, he averages an 81% pass accuracy and has won 56% of his duels. He also has an average of 3 defensive actions per game. He rarely scores goals as he had 2 in the french Ligue 1 and created 14 chances in total. But his passion and zeal will thrill the St James's crowd and add something to the team. He is basically a workaholic and this is what Newcastle need at moment.

Transfer Rating: 6/10

Dame N'doye
Trabzonspor To Sunderland
FEE: Loan 
Image result for dame n'doye
The Senegalese International was at Hull City last season but his goals could not help them beat the drop so he moved to Trabzonspor where he has failed to score in all his appearances for the Turkish Club. Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce is willing to take a gamble on the striker and hope he can help the black cats avoid relegation.

Transfer Rating: 5/10.

Alessandro Diamanti
Watford To Atalanta
Fee: Loan
Alessandro Diamanti 2012 (cropped) - 2.jpg
Diamanti decided to cancel his loan from Guangzhou to Watford due to playing time. The attacking midfielder only represented the hornets 3 times this season and did not have any stat at all while he was at the club. He has moved to Atalanta now and this could boost his chances of going with Italy to Euro 2016. He has tricks and an eye for goal as well, so at Atalanta he can express himself again.

Transfer Rating: 6/10.

Lewis Grabban
Norwich City To Bournemouth
Fee: £8,000,000
Image result for lewis grabban
You could call it home coming because Grabban left Bournemouth for Norwich in 2014 and now he is back with the cherries for a second spell. Grabban tried to force a move away from Norwich during the summer but he was unsuccessful in his bid to leave due to limited chances at Norwich. Now that he has got his move, Grabban will like to prove himself at the top level and help Bournemouth beat the drop this season. He is pacy and loves to run the lines or should we say beat the offside trap of opposing teams.

Transfer Rating; 5/10.

Jonjo Shelvey
Swansea City FC to Newcastle United FC
FEE: £12,000,000
Image result for jonjo shelvey
Jonjo Shelvey has shown so much promise in the Premier League but has failed to live up to his potential. Coming up through the ranks at Liverpool, he was expected to be the natural successor to Steven Gerrard but was eventually sold by Brendan Rodgers to Swansea. He scored a few goals and was influential early on but failed to solidify his place in the team. He is now at Newcastle and will slot in the team immediately and help in their relegation fight. Should be a good addition to the team.

Transfer Rating: 8/10

Mohamed Elneny
FC Basel To Arsenal
FEE: £7,000,000

Mohamed is an Egyptian midfielder who plays in the defensive midfield position. Arsene Wenger has been scouting the 23-year-old for a while and has deemed it necessary to bring him in to address the current deficiencies in that position. He has a pass accuracy of 92% in the Europa League and 70% of those are forward passes. He'll be a very welcome addition to the squad and we expect him to boost their title chances.

Transfer Rating: 6/10

Benik Afobe
Wolves To Bournemouth
FEE: £10,000,000

Started at Arsenal and couldn't break into the team so he had take two steps down to show his quality, first he moved to Mk Dons were he had good numbers then Wolves picked him up and he has been the shining light in their torrid season. He has fought his way back into the Premier League and we know definitely he would help his new club with goals that could make them beat the drop.

Transfer Rating: 7/10
Morgan Amalfitano 
West Ham To Lille
FEE: Free
Image result for amalfitano
He is a good player but does not seem to hold down a club for more than a year. Rumours say he has an attitude problem and if he does he needs to check that. The 30 year old has good skills and can control the game in the no 10 position. He can play series of positions so he is an a bonus for Lille. Hope he can hold his own this time

Transfer Rating: 5/10.

Gerson Santos Da Silva
Fluminense To Roma
FEE: Undisclosed
Image result for gerson
Roma signed the 18 year Brazilian tagged the new Neymar and loaned him back to Fluminense for the remainder of the season. The young lad has been tagged to have a bright future and he is showing it with his performances in the Brazilian Serie A. This season he has scored 1 goal, creating 20 chances which resulted to 3 assists. His passing average is phenomenal as well. He has made 431 passes in which 80 % were completed and 70% of them were forward passes. One for the future.

Transfer Rating: 5/10

Jan Kirchhoff
Bayern Munich To Sunderland
FEE: £750,000 

Kirchhoff has never had it good at Bayern. After 2 loan spells at Schalke04 the 25 year old did not make any appearances for Bayern this season so he had to move on. He is very brave for choosing Sunderland in relation to where they're on the table so it's the perfect way to sell himself and show the qualities he has. Plus he only signed an 18 months contract so don't expect him at Sunderland for long.

Transfer Rating: 6/10


Marko Grujic
Red Star Belgrade To Liverpool
FEE: £5Million

The 19 year Old has been tagged the new Nemanja Matic and is a regular for club and country at junior level(latter). He will be Klopp's first signing and it looks like like he will be loaned back to Belgrade for the remainder of the season then join the reds in the summer. Suitors have said he can play the high pressing game and controls the midfield very well. Looks like a player that can work with the normal one's(Klopp) philosophy.

Transfer Rating: 5/10.

Younes Belhanda 
Dynamo Kyiv To Schalke 04
FEE: Undisclosed

The tricky Moroccan wizard has had a merry-go-round career and after winning the league in Montpelier in france we expected he would move on to greater heights but he has been below the radar since. In Dynamo Kiev this season his chances has been limited as he has only made 2 appearances for them this season. This move to Germany could help the 25 year old to show his greatness once again.

Transfer Rating: 5/10

Suso
AC Milan to Genoa
Fee: Loan

The forward has found playing time hard at Milan after he made only one appearance for Milan in the past six months. With this move to Genoa he can revive himself and so Milan what they're missing because there is definitely a player in there somewhere.

Transfer Rating: 5/10

Kevin Prince Boateng
Schalke 04 To AC Milan
Fee:Free
Image result for boateng
Boateng fell out with Schalke so his contract was terminated and he has been training with Milan since the summer. He probably looked good in training that is why the Mihalovic is taking a gamble on him and if he can show the form he had when Milan won the Scudetto in 10/11 season, am sure the 28 year old would find his feet again.

Transfer Rating: 6/10.

Kevin Grosskreutz 
Galatasaray To Stuttgart
Fee:Undisclosed
Kevin Großkreutz IMG 1623.jpg
If you're looking for someone that has been unlucky it has to be Kevin Grosskreutz, his transfer to Galatasaray was not approved by FIFA due to late paperwork submission and can only play for Galatasaray this year, so he has not played football for about 6 months. The world cup winner is about to sign for Stuttgart to help them stay in the Bundesliga. We know about his qualities over the years playing for Dortmund and he can play series of positions as well so he would be an added bonus for this struggling Stuttgart team.

Transfer Rating: 6/10



Urby Emanuelson
AS Roma To Hellas Verona
FEE: Free
Image result for urby emanuelson
His career has been a sliding slope in recent seasons and the 29 year old has to prove his qualities playing for Hellas Verona. He can play in series of positions and we believe he can still be useful in football especially the dutch national team. He will be lacking fitness as he has not played enough matches in recent season so he will surely get regular game time at Verona and could prove his fitness and qualities once again.

Transfer Rating: 5/10

Demarai Gray
Birmingham City To Leicester City
FEE: 3.5million
Image result for demarai gray
The 19 year old has been a regular for Birmingham City this season and is one of their important players. His numbers are not that good but this move could improve the lad as he has great potential. His pace is a great asset of his and could take anybody on. Gray has won 54% of  his duels and helps defensively as well as he averages 2 defensive actions per game. Watch out for this lad.

Transfer Rating: 5/10

Ricky Alvarez
Inter Milan to Sampdoria
FEE: Free

The 28 year old seemed not to find his feet at Inter, then tried a loan at Sunderland last season where his chances were limited. He was released by Inter early this season and now Sampdoria have taken a gamble on him(Alvarez), He is very comfortable on the ball and his manager has said he can beat his marker at any time. Let's hope this move can help revive the tricky argentine's career.

Transfer Rating: 6/10

Juan Iturbe
AS Roma To AFC Bournemouth
FEE: Loan

The versatile forward could not find his feet at Roma and expectations were not met after the hype the young Argentine got. He was at first linked to Watford but Bournemouth swept in and hijacked the deal. It is a brilliant signing for the small seaside club and this could help boost their chances of survival in the Premier League. Iturbe will sooth the Bournemouth style and his main con will be his finishing. But Eddie Howe should be able to deal with that.

Transfer Rating: 7/10.

Diego Perotti
Genoa To AS Roma
FEE: £7million 
An Argentine for another Argentine, Perotti will be brought in by Roma to fill the void left by Juan Iturbe who left for Bournemouth. He(Perotti) is a more established player and gives more end product than his predecessor. He has poor stats this season as he has only notched up a goal and an assist in the Serie A, he needs to improve on that but his passing is his main skill. He has made a total of 339 passes completing over 82% of them and 65% of them are forward passes.


Transfer Rating: 5/10

Augusto Fernandez
Celta Vigo To Atletico Madrid
Fee: Undisclosed
Diego Simeone has waved his magic wand again and this time he has signed an enforcer too boost his midfield options as they fight for the league and Champions League. Fernandez will help to contain the midfield with his stats that runs at an average of 4 defensive blocks per game and has won 43% of his duels. He also has a decent pass average which is at 90%.


Transfer Rating: 6/10.
