European transfer window closes-MLS players on the move.





So the transfer window closed for much of Europe yesterday and as always it was a fun one (except for some FC Dallas fans.).

Queen's Park Rangers made so many moves, and rightfully so, it's been hard to keep track with everything. They loaned a lot of guys out and brought a lot more in.  It's going to be fun seeing Harry Redknapp can keep QPR, and all of the money they've spent, in the EPL at the end of the season.

There were also two high profile MLS players that made the leap to the EPL. Kei Kamara to Norwich City (this made my girlfriend happy) and Brek Shea to Stoke City (this made my girlfriend sad), both transfers occuring in the last two days of the window.  For those of you who are FC Dallas fans, or follow MLS closely, the Brek Shea transfer saga was an up and down rollercoaster. The drama went from "He's definitely leaving!" to "Wait, no he's not!" to "Well damn.....he left.".

As I don't follow Sporting Kansas City as closely as FC Dallas I'm not sure if they Kamara transfer caused as many ripples in KC as Shea's leaving did in DFW.  Of course Sporting have depth at forward to cover the lose of Kamara, where as Dallas is very thin on the wings now with only Jackson and Castillo and no one really behind them. Either way SNB wishes them both good fortune in the future.

I also don't want to forget Andy Najar's move from DC United to Anderlecht in Belgium.
