During the 2011 summer transfer period 1.6 billion euros were spent on transfer fees by the top five European Leagues . . . these leagues include the English Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga and Ligue 1. Think about that for a second. Football teams spent the equivalent of Liberia's GDP in a mere three months. With all this cash being thrown around Europe, cash that could surely help boost the economies of Portugual, Ireland, Greece and Spain, it is worth looking at which teams were the most active during the transfer period.

Winter Transfer Round-Up - January 2011
In Canada, on the NHL Trade Deadline, TSN, The Score and Sportsnet all devote a day of coverage to the madness that is the NHL trade deadline. In essence, imagine a fancy sports studio, eight to ten talking heads, a whole bunch of cliches, metaphors and the over dramatization of anything hockey. To be honest, it is great television, albeit slightly too dramatic for regular sports programming, but entertaining regardless.
With that in mind, Posts By Panos will attempt to dramatize the madness that is the football transfer deadline by listing the Top 10 Transfers of the Winter Signing Period. Enjoy after the jump.
