Petr Cech? nah.

Even Van Der Sar from Fulham and Reina have been better GK signings in the PL.

Drogba to Chelsea should probably be in there even though it was pricey.

Agree with most of those.

One that I always think was a fantastic price was Van Persie for £2.75m

I'm focussing on England, but Ashley Cole for £5m and Gallas was a pretty good transfer.

Liverpool
Dalglish to Liverpool 400k.

Oh, the last decade....

Nedved at €41m was pretty darn expensive, but an absolutely terrific signing. He replaced Zidane and actally improved Juve as a team. Seeing as he gave 8 seasons to juve, it was a terrific investment.

Barcelona did not hold his player registration. Again technically not a transfer between clubs but putting aside that technicality, Fabregas has to be one of the signings of the decade.

Well they did have his registration though not a formal contract and we did pay them a 'consideration'. This is obviously gripping their shit big time when they contemplate buying him back for 60M euros.

Deco from Porto to Barca?

:lol: It was a genuine question, to which I didn't know the answer. They could have spent £50m and it would have been worth it.

Oh :lol:

I think he was around 30m Euros or something like that.

Oh and Eto'o should be in the list as well!
