Chelsea and Liverpool get busy in the transfer market
Chelsea and Liverpool have today dipped into the transfer market by signing Nicolas Anelka and Martin Skrtel respectively.
Anelka has joined Chelsea for a fee believed to be in the region of £15 million. The 28-year old becomes boss Avram Grant's first signing at the club.
The former Bolton Wanderers striker had been linked with a move to Chelsea for some time and after Chelsea made their intentions clear earlier this week when they made a bid for the player, it was only a matter of time before the French international joined.
Martin Skrtel joined Liverpool from Zenit St Petersburg today after days of speculation about his possible move to Anfield. Skrtel joins the club for a fee of £6.5 million. The Slovakian international becomes the most expensive defender ever to sign for the club.
I hope after today's transfers club start buying more because it has been relatively quite in the January transfer window so far. I feel both are good signings although I have have only seen Skrtel once or twice.
