Karel Poborskys transfer to Man. U in 1996
Diego Maradonas transfer from Boca Juniors to Barcelona in 1982
Hakan Sukurs transfer from Galatassaray to AC Torino (I don´t remember the year)
Jon Dahl Tomassons transfer from Heerenveen to Newcastle in 1997
Diego Maradonas transfer from Napoli til FC Sevilla in 1995
Patrick Kluiverts transfer from Ajax to AC Milan in 1996
Edgar Davids transfer from Ajax to AC Milan 1996
Mikkel Becks transfer from Fortuna Cologne to Middlesborough in 1996
Wim Jonks transfer from Ajax to Inter Milan in 1994
Dennis Bergkamps transfer from Ajax to Inter Milan in 1994
Andreas Brehmes transfer from Inter Milan to Real Zaragozza in 1992
Graeme Souness transfer from Liverpool to Torino in 1985


Luis Figo, from Barcelona to Real Madrid for $56.1 million. You couldn't pay a real player for Barcelona all the money in the world to make that move (my heart is doing more of the talking than my head, forgive me).

But back to seriousness.

Jordi Cruyff (Barcelona to Manchester United, 1995) What has he done at Man Utd? Did he even play?

Brian Laudrup (Chelsea to FC Copenhagen)
I'm not sure if FC Copenhagen is your favorite club in Denmark, but from Chelsea to Copenhagen? Was he too homesick? And the transfer was made right after he scored against Copenhagen for Chelsea.

Jari Litmanen (Ajax to Barcelona)
I thought he would have done a lot for us, considering that his former coach was our coach, but he hardly played. A real pity.

Hristo Stoichkov (Barcelona to Parma)
He was always a Barcelona man anyways which probably explains why he played with only half hearted efforts in Parma. But Parma must have been pissed.

Latest Transfers + Rumors

Lazio set for £25m Kewell bid

Lazio are poised with a £25 million (€40m) bid for Leeds ace Harry Kewell. The big spending Italians have already splashed out over £70m (€110m) this summer under boss Sven-Göran Eriksson. There’s even speculation that the Serie A champs are willing to pay up to £40m (€66m) to get Kewell.

But the spending is not about to stop there even though Leeds stated last week that they wouldn't sell the Aussie starlet for less than £50 million (€77m).

Leeds are also in the process of discussing a new contract with the player but Lazio president Sergio Cragnotti has registered his interest in the player.

He revealed: "I was very impressed with him last season. He is an excellent talent - the best in the Premiership.

"He is a player who I admire and we will be looking at him this season and deciding for ourselves."

Excellent list, Driver X, and I must congratulate you, this is a new one: You copy-pasted AND spliced Razz's and Blaugrana's posts from DailySoccer...how inventive.

My choice for worst transfer: Ian Rush from Liverpool to Juventus in '84 ('85? around that time.) Most disastrous...

although i say this with a sad heart but i am trying to be as honest as possible.
1999:nicolas anelka (arsenal to real madrid)
except for thos two champions league goals he was a complete flop.
De La Pena from Barca to Lazio was absolutly a joke. We paid so much for a so worse player.
Kinkladze from Man City to ajax was a joke too. I'm happy that he play for derby now.

Forza Lazio
We don't need Kewell
my vote goes to lentini to ac milan.
What about this one: Brolin from Parma to Leeds.
Andreas Andersson IFK Gothenburg to AC Milan

Hakan Sukur Galatasary to Inter

Erik Edman Helsingborg to Torino
G
Hakan has a history of mental fragility (see Torino...) having said that, I think we should give him a chance yet, meaning till the end of the Girone di Andata...he might just prove he's the finisher Inter needs. I hope he finds his groove.
