Amuari seems to be successful for Juve so I would say he was worth it, but I haven't watched Juve that much. And from what I've seen of Danny Alves he seems worth it as well. Many others seem to be overpriced (Berbatov is certainly not worth that much, nor is Bentley, Keane, and Robinho (but his owners are super rich so that one doesn't matter)). Quaresma and Jo are complete flopididoo. And Ronaldinho was maybe worth the amount of shirt sales and tickets and other merchandise plus the things he's done on the field, but AC Milan should buy someone who's not 30 (yes R80 is 30, he admitted that on his supposed "28" birthday).

But as the seller - now that's a shock. And that's their only appearance. No surprise that Real Madrid is on the top of that list. But as the seller – now that’s a shock.

Deco cost 8million but that we wont get back unless he transfers out just b4 he retires. Deco also has been struggling since the cold set in. All in all chelsea is doing well with the transfers but maybe we should recall pizarro from loan.. our most expensive signing has been bosingwa who at the moment is probably the best rightback in england and would give dani alves a run for his money as best RB in europe.

As a side note, the other players were a separate tranaction. We bought him for 22million euros, but sold Nocerino and 1/2 of Lanzafame to them for 10million euros or so. So you could say we bought him for 30million and players.
