Now that October has hit us in the face like a cold, unrelenting shovel we can finally put to bed any hopes of an ‘Indian summer’ and instead reflect on an intriguing past few months in the football calendar.

The ever-increasing financial restrictions of a climate ravaged by recession and Michel Platini mean premium transfers were at a minimum (if you ignore PSG) and instead an onus was placed on securing influential talent on a tight budget.
Now that those summer arrivals have had time to settle into their new surroundings, it’s perhaps an appropriate time to highlight those who deserve a special mention.
