Mesut Ozil (Werder Bremen to Real Madrid)
Transfer price: 15 million Euros
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 might have won the World Cup 2010 but in all honesty, this cup belonged to the Germans. In a world of football that is governed by media, agents and Arab petro-dollars, the Germans have focused on developing their youth. The event highlighted the success
Die Mannschaft have had with their ‘develop the youth’ project. The likes of Mesut Ozil, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Holger-Badstuber-c16281 and Thomas Mueller were an absolute treat to watch and only inexperience and luck cost them the trophy.
Along with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904. Contrary to common belief, the player did not come out of the blue to win so many hearts. Ozil had been a star for Werder Bremen in 2009-10 session and his outings in
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757 only cemented his prodigy status.
The rich govern the world and that is unfortunate but true. Bremen simply could not hold on to their most prized asset and rather lose him for free this summer, they cashed-in on the star. 15 million Euros is a lot of money but judging by Ozil’s performances
in Galacticos jersey, Florentino Perez had paid peanuts for this potential world-beater.
The player is in divine form and supporters have been made to forget Kaka’s absence from the first team. With four goals and six assists in 16 appearances, Ozil has cemented a place in Los Merengues starting eleven for some time to come – Kaka will be made
to earn his starting berth.

Transfer price: 6.5 million Euros
Montpellier stunned the Ligue 1 followers last season when they challenged for the League title in their return season to French first division. The bigger fish in Ligue 1 tank were dispatched ruthlessly as a historic title triumph beckoned. However, Montpellier
crumbled towards the end of season but still managed to finish a respectable fifth in the league.
Much of the Montpellier’s success was down to an impressive midfield and Tino Costa was the corner stone of that. In just two seasons in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 call-up. 15 goals in 66 appearances from midfield position
were enough to arouse interest from elite European clubs and Valencia CF snapped up the 25-year-old. It was the perfect replacement for Manchester City bound David Silva.
The Argentine has hit the ground running in Spain. The 6.5 million paid by cash-starved Los Che now seems like a bargain price. While Costa has appeared in just 7 league games, he has scored 2 absolutely stunning goals while assisting in two further goals.
On continental stage, Tino has scored 2 goals and made 2 assists in just four appearances.
Costa has all the makings of a world-beater and with Argentine national team setup now back in safe hands – Maradona was a disaster – Costa can dream of playing in the esteemed Albiceleste jersey for some time to come.
