Transfer Price: 40 million Euros
It’s not every day that you see a club paying 40 million Euros for a 29-year-old. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andriy-Shevchenko-c6014 and needless to say, it was one of the most expensive transfer flops in Premier League history.
However, from what we have seen, the amount spent on David Villa’s signature was 40 million well spent – for a change. Just why Blaugnara hierarchy couldn’t think of this while they were busy wasting a mammoth 69 million Euros
on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029?
The former Sporting Gijon, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-Zaragoza-c40344 and Valencia forward has integrated into tiki-taka Barca football without the slightest of hiccups and that pays tribute to his outstanding technical ability. Playing with Xavi and Andres
Iniesta at International level clearly has its benefits.
David Villa has appeared in 16 league games for the Blaugrana and has scored 11 goals while assisting in 6 others – wonderful statistics to say the least. The Messi/Pedro/Villa trio with their constant interchanging of positions
has become the nightmare for La Liga defenders – just ask Jose Mourinho and Real Madrid – as Los Cules stay on course to regain the UEFA Champions League trophy after just a single season’s break.
Felipe Luis Kasmirski (Deportivo La Coruna to Atletico Madrid)
Transfer price: 12 million Euros
After two highly successful seasons with Deportivo La Coruna, Felipe Luis moved to Atletico Madrid earlier this summer. The Brazilian has been a revelation at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Calderon Stadium and if his early season performances are anything to go by, Atletico have
landed themselves one gem of a player.
Atletico defence is often criticised for being too brittle and lacking in resilience. However, resilience is one trait that the Brazilian wing back has in abundance. The way Felipe returned to football after receiving a horrific injury that put his career
on line, goes a long way in showcasing his mental strength. The addition of such steel will add solidarity to the defence in months to come.
Kasmirski’s marauding runs on the left are a treat to watch. The way the player has moved on from being a Real Madrid reject to one of the best left backs in the league is inspiring. Indeed one shouldn’t be surprised to see Felipe playing for a bigger club
the next season.
