| In my country, soccer is the most famous sport and | | | | to Juventus |
| because almost everybody loves soccer, i thought it | | | | 25. Mario Gomez for € 30.000.000 from VfB |
| would be nice to make a list with every major soccer | | | | Stuttgart to Bayern München |
| transfer of 2009. As you can see the list is divided | | | | 26. Ivica Olic for Free from Hamburg SV to Bayern |
| per team: | | | | München |
| Number Name Player Value Old team New team | | | | 27. Miguel Moya for € 6.000.000 from Mallorca to |
| 1. Cristiano Ronaldo for € 94.000.000 | | | | Valencia |
| from Manchester United to Real Madrid | | | | 28. Oguchi Onyewu for free from Standard Liège to |
| 2. Ricardo Káka for € 65.000.000 from AC Milan | | | | AC Milan |
| to Real Madrid | | | | 29. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar for € 15.000.000 |
| 3. Xabi Alonso for € 35.000.000 from Liverpool to | | | | from Real Madrid to AC Milan |
| Real Madrid | | | | So this is the list I have so far. As you can see, Real |
| 4. Karim Benzema for € 35.000.000 from Lyon to | | | | Madrid have bought the biggest names and have |
| Real Madrid | | | | spend the most money. The most money spend for |
| 5. Alvaro Arbeloa for € 4.000.000 from Liverpool | | | | one player is € 94.000.000 for Cristiano Ronaldo, |
| to Real Madrid | | | | but many of you knew that already. |
| 6. Raúl Albiol for € 15.000.000 from Valencia to | | | | Personally I don't think that buying the biggest |
| Real Madrid | | | | names, will make you the biggest or best team in the |
| 7. Zlatan Ibrahimovic for € 35.000.000 (+ Samuel | | | | world. You will need to have a team that does |
| Eto’o + Aleksandr Hleb on loan) from Inter | | | | everything for each other. If that particular team has |
| Milan to Barcelona | | | | great players and they stick on each other like gluw, |
| 8. Maxwell for € 4.500.000 from Inter to | | | | they will most likely be the best team in the world. If |
| Barcelona | | | | you have three or four players that aren't |
| 9. Carneiro Keirrison for € 14.000.000 | | | | teamplayers, the manager will have a lot of trouble |
| from Palmeiras to Barcelona | | | | to have any major trophy with that particular squad. |
| 10. Diego Milito for Unkown fee + Robert | | | | Why do I mention this? Well, you see it every year. |
| Acquafresca from Genoa to Inter Milan | | | | Each team buys at least 3 or 4 players. The biggest |
| 11. Thiago Motta for Unkown fee + Robert | | | | teams in the world buy the most famous players for |
| Acquafresca from Genoa to Inter Milan | | | | a fee that's not normal anymore. But what happents? |
| 12. Yuri Zhirkov for € 21.000.000 from CSKA | | | | They don't play that good. Everybody thinks you |
| Moscow to Chelsea | | | | (that particular team) will defeat everybody on the |
| 13. Glen Johnson for € 21.000.000 | | | | road, but nothing is less true. |
| from Portsmouth to Liverpool | | | | I think well known manager should keep in mind: |
| 14. David N'Gog for € 2.000.000 from PSG to | | | | players that are not that famous and especially |
| Liverpool | | | | young players will try to make thier dream come |
| 15. Michael Owen for Free from Newcastle to | | | | true, therefore they will give at least 110%. The |
| Manchester United | | | | players that already made it, will probably give 80%. |
| 16. Gabriel Obertan for € 3.000.000 | | | | See the difference? |
| from Bordeaux to Manchester United | | | | I just thought I should mention this :). Back to the list |
| 17. Carlos Tevez for € 29.000.000 | | | | now. If you have more "big names"-transfers that |
| from Manchester United to Manchester City | | | | need to be added to the list, just wright in a |
| 18. Gareth Barry for € 14.000.000 from Aston | | | | comment and I will add it as soon as possible. |
| Villa to Manchester City | | | | Here is a small list of players that probably make a |
| 19. Roque Santa Cruz for € 21.000.000 | | | | move by the start of the new season: |
| from Blackburn Rovers to Manchester City | | | | Vincent Kompany to Barcelona? Sergio Agüero to |
| 20. Emmanuel Adebayor for | | | | Manchester United? Franck Ribery to Chelsea? |
| 29.000.000 from Arsenal to Manchester City | | | | Andrea Pirlo to Chelsea? Alberto Aquilano to |
| 21. Thomas Vermaelen for € 12.000.000 | | | | Liverpool? Sneijder to Inter? |
| from Ajax to Arsenal | | | | So this is it for now. Keep in mind, if you have more |
| 22. Fabio Cannavaro for Free from Real Madrid to | | | | news about transfers, just post it in a comment and |
| Juventus | | | | let me know. I will add it to the list as soon as |
