The Magpies outlay means they spent more than the 20 clubs in La Liga combined. Mersons transfer window grades Did your club get the players they needed? Stoke, meanwhile, paid the highest single fee as they recruited Porto midfielder Giannelli Imbula for £18.3m just minutes before the window closed on Monday night.Norwich made the most new signings with eight players coming in while Bournemouth, Sunderland, Watford and Newcastle all brought in five.Indeed, only Manchester United, Tottenham and bottom side Aston Villa failed to bring in any reinforcements in the biggest January window for five years. Giannelli Imbula cost Stoke a club record £18.3m from Porto Dan Jones, partner in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte, said: Premier League clubs have chosen to spend significantly in this years January transfer window.A total spend of (almost) £175m this window has contributed to Premier League clubs passing the £1billion threshold for spending in a season for the first time.Notably, this Januarys spending has been driven in large part by clubs in the bottom half of the table. Newcastle were Januarys biggest spenders as they brought in three players including Andros Townsend The new broadcast deal for Premier League clubs from next season and the threat of missing out through relegation is contributing to clubs investing in an attempt to stay in the league.Of the money spent in January, £110m went to overseas clubs compared with £65m 12 months ago.Around £40m was spent on Deadline Day itself and Newcastle spent more money in January than all of La Liga combined.Notably, the clubs in the Premier Leagues bottom six accounted for £90m - while the Championships leading sides were responsible for 70 per cent of the £35m spent at that level. Jordan Rhodes joined Middlesbrough from Blackburn as Championship clubs spent £35m Alexander Thorpe, senior manager in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte, added: The prospect of increased revenue from the new broadcast deals starting next season has encouraged clubs at the lower end of the Premier League to invest this window.So too have we seen significant spending by those clubs aspiring to Premier League status with spending by Championship clubs totalling over £30m this January.

Our coaches have looked at the preliminary scouting report on Cincinnati, but we will spend zero practice time and game planning time on anyone other than Lamar.The Cougars will have to guard against a letdown against the FCS Cardinals a week after an emotional 33-23 win over then-No. 3 Oklahoma in the season opener.It was the highest-ranked team Houston had beaten since a 29-15 win over Texas, which was also ranked third, on Nov. 10, 1984. The victory moved Houston up nine spots in the poll to its highest ranking since it was No. 3 in 1990.Its a testament to, no matter the physical mismatches that may exist on a football field, if you play really hard and you have a purpose about you and that purpose is the love of your teammates and coaches, then you will be able to do things that a lot of people think might not be possible, Herman said.Though they know better than to take Lamar, which is coming off a 38-14 loss to Coastal Carolina in its opener. Despite the big win, Herman has a long list of things his team can do better.We cant have the kind of busts that we had in the secondary, Herman said. We have to be able to run the ball. When you have a 16-point lead late in the fourth quarter you have to get a few first downs and keep your defense off the field. We were at the 14-minute mark about to go up 40-17 against the No. 3 team in the country, and we fumbled the ball in the end zone and put our defense out on the field. That is obviously very unacceptable.Some things to know about Houstons game against Lamar:WARDS SHOULDERHouston quarterback Greg Ward injured his right shoulder against Oklahoma, and could sit out on Saturday. Ward had an MRI on Monday which Herman said revealed no structural damage. Ward threw for 321 yards and two toucchdowns against Sooners.ddddddddddddIts feeling all right, Ward said. Its getting better each and every day.Ward said he was injured against the Sooners when a guy fell on me and jerked it the wrong way. But he remained in the game after hurting it.KICKOFF RETURN WOESHerman was not pleased with his teams performance on kickoff returns after neither of Houstons first two on Saturday made it to the 15-yard line.We stink on kickoff return, he said. That was a point of emphasis going into the season, so we really need to evaluate what were doing and who were putting on that team.WILSON WOWSBrandon Wilson had a great game in Houstons opener, finishing with a career-high 10 tackles, including one for a loss. But it was his work on special teams that really wowed as the senior cornerback took a short 54-yard field goal attempt back 100 yards for a touchdown to give Houston 26-17 lead with about nine minutes remaining in the third quarter.Pound for pound, if not the, then (he is) one of the strongest guys on our team, Herman said. He runs really, really hard. Hes fast so when he is in the open field, he can run away from people and run through some angles, but hes also really good at running in traffic with some strength and power behind him to bounce off some arm tackles.DRAKE SHOWS LOVEDrake headlined a concert in Houston at the Toyota Center on Saturday night just hours after the Cougars picked up their win over Oklahoma The rapper took the stage in a Houston jersey with the No. 1 on it. Herman was excited about the gesture and tweeted a couple of pictures of Drake in the jersey with the message: Thanks again to Drake for reppin the Coogs last night.While the jersey had Wards number on it, the quarterback brushed off the notion that it was his jersey because it didnt have his name on the back.He wasnt wearing my jersey, Ward said. He was wearing our jersey, a Houston jersey. ' ' '
