Well over the next few days we will look at the transfer market (internally and externally) in Top 100 across Season 17 – where is the best place to get deals? which manager thinks they are a Ferrari showroom (see and not touch) and who is basically loves to go shopping externally at Lidl and they turns over players again and again – Lets find out starting with Division 1.

Transfer Activity – Season 17 – Division One

An internal deals means a deal between one managed club and another – Wherever it is possible if a club has done a 2 for 1, 2 for 2 or 2 for 3 etc we have included this as 1 deal.

Internally there is an average of 10.3 deals per club with glen mullan (700), Dan Wallace (256) and Alex McLean (696) clearly head and shoulders above everyone – the three of them are your classic Boycie – wheeling and dealing constantly.

As for those who are poor managers market wise (in terms of activity) Alex*** Borel (498) could have easily done more at Milan – a cause for their failure? Does Dario Saviano (701) know what a deal is? Or does he just overvalue his players too much? Could Regan Thompson (804), DP 91 (806) and Gav Harmer (628)’s season failures be put down to lack of willingness to gamble in the market? Again due they try enough? Could they try more?

Externally we see a similar picture – although Seb C (701) must be commended with trying to improve Stoke as opposed to sit and wait – likewise in this case Dario Saviano (701 .
