Welcome to part two of Mail Sport's transfer window report cards. In the first edition, we saw Arsenal and Chelsea receive shocking reports for their behaviour, while Aston Villa and Ipswich were in the good books. Here, we're looking at the second half of the Premier League alphabetically, so that will include Manchester United, Liverpool, and Manchester City. We'll also run the rule over some key players in the relegation scrap, namely Ipswich, Wolves, and Southampton.

Elsewhere, Tottenham and West Ham are trying to get back to some semblance of normality after their winter business. Meanwhile, have Nottingham Forest and Newcastle done enough to help sustain their impressive campaigns?. Mail Sport rates the transfer business of every team in the Premier League. How did yours do?. Considering their circumstances, Leicester had an abysmal window. When Ruud van Nistelrooy was hired, he asked for a full back, a forward, a left-sided centre back and a winger.

After a month of deliberating, Leicester managed to provide one of those: right-back Woyo Coulibaly from Parma for £2million. All hail the one-man cavalry. Of course, the Foxes are hamstrung by financial concerns, Premier League spending rules, and the threat of a points deduction. This was never going to be a window where they went out and spent huge. But looking at the business that Ipswich and Wolves did, Leicester have left themselves woefully short. Coulibaly may come good, but can he save them on his own?.

With multiple key players out injured, they needed a big transfer window and instead lost ground on their rivals. Barring an unexpected spike in form, the Championship beckons, and poor recruitment will be partially to blame. Grade: E. Leicester failed to back Ruud van Nistelrooy sufficiently, signing just one player in January. Woyo Coulibaly may prove a good signing, but Van Nistelrooy wanted to strengthen in four areas.

Liverpool's season has been close to perfect and there is little point in doing business just for the sake of it. The summer window was quiet as well and look how things have gone since then. Arguably, the Reds could have done with adding to their midfield and strengthening at left-back. Neither of these are urgent issues but it would be a surprise if they didn't bring in extra quality over the summer.

They secured loans out for Stefan Bajcetic, Calvin Ramsey, and Jayden Danns - though the first two were recalled from different stints. In particular, it has been a surprise to not see Bajcetic kick on since an impresive 2022-23 campaign, but he will now spend the second half of the season at Las Palmas after playing under Jurgen Klopp's former assistant Pep Lijnders at Red Bull Salzburg. It is a disappointment for fans that Liverpool have exited January without sorting out any of their contract situations. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil van Dijk are still set to leave on a free in the summer.

On the other hand, at least they hung on to Alexander-Arnold when there was talk of Madrid making a concerted effort to sign him at the start of the month. Liverpool are still fighting on four fronts and more depth would have been nice to see out a Quadruple challenge. Grade: D. Arne Slot has led Liverpool to an almost perfect season, but should they have reinforced their squad?. Fair play to Manchester City, they didn't mess around in January and haven't thrown in the towel on their worst season under Pep Guardiola.

The reigning champions brought in six players, forking out the princely sum of £180m, or thereabouts. How many of those will make an instant impact? Probably two. Omar Marmoush, who had a prolific 18 months at Eintracht Frankfurt, has slotted into the forward line to support Erling Haaland. At £63m, he has to play. Meanwhile, midfielder Nico Gonzalez, procured from Porto after being monitored for a long time, is likely to feature consistently. Both were needed.

The rest are lesser known quantities. Abdukodir Khusanov had a disaster debut against Chelsea, being at fault for a goal inside three minutes, but is talked of well. Vitor Reis and Juma Bah, both teenage centre-backs, will likely have to bide their time for regular football. They have also brought in 18-year-old left-back Christian McFarlane from fellow City Group-owned outfit New York City FC. It was certainly a statement window and they have come out stronger. Losing Kyle Walker in such sudden circumstances was unceremonious, but not as damaging as it would have been two or three years ago.

On the whole, for being proactive in trying to fix their problems, City deserve credit. Grade: B+. Omar Marmoush is the marquee signing of a very busy window for Man City as they try to compete at home and abroad. Abdukodir Khusanov has been parachuted into a struggling defence but had a tricky debut. Manchester United are having their worst-ever Premier League season and did little to strengthen their squad.
