Deadline Day: Jamie Carragher on Fellaini, Lukaku, Ilori and Sakho

I'm not sure about Manchester United's signing of Marouane Fellaini.

Talented
Fabio Borini has joined Sunderland on loan, though, after not really settling at Liverpool and you hope that the Italian connection between him and Paolo Di Canio can get him playing his best this season because he is a talented boy, as he has shown for Italy's under-21 side. And, speaking of talented boys, Arsenal have got another one. I wouldn't have said a player in Mesut Ozil's position was a priority for Arsenal as they have some really good attacking midfielders already at the club, but I am pleased that we have got another world-class player coming into the Premier League. It is also good for the Premier League that Arsenal can seemingly compete with United, Man City and Chelsea financially - although Arsene Wenger kept the fans on tenterhooks by only breaking his club's transfer record on Deadline Day! There was talk of Arsenal getting another striker in as well but their argument will be that if Olivier Giroud was good enough to get them in the top four last season, then why can't he be again this time around with a year of English football under his belt? I agree with that to some extent but Arsenal shouldn't be aiming for the top four, they should be aiming for the title, and what will they do striker-wise if Giroud gets injured? Theo Walcott and Lukas Podolski are good players but, for me, are better in wide positions.
