Worst summer transfer window deals of the past decade – Spanish Primera Division (Part 2)
After elaborating on Javier Arizmendi’s move to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029, it is now time to take a look at the rest of the deals on this list of worst summer
transfer window deals of the past decade in the Spanish Primera Division...
Dmytro Chygrynskiy
Seen as a replacement for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carles-Puyol-c8331, Chygrynskiy was bought by Barcelona in the summer transfer window of 2009. The Ukrainian defender was bought by the Catalan giants for a whopping 25 million Euros and he brought with him
a stellar reputation from Shakhtar Donetsk. Pep Guardiola was a big fan of Dmytro and thus he was slowly incorporated into the first team at Barcelona. In the 2009-2010 season, Barcelona failed to reach the UEFA Champions League final but they did win the
La Liga title once again by beating Real Madrid both home and away in the Spanish Primera Division.
Sadly enough, their 25 million Euros defender failed to make an impact throughout the season. Sometimes fitness issues plagued him, on other times Puyol was in fantastic form which meant that Dmytro was demoted to the bench. Moreover
the times that he did play for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dmytro-Chygrynskiy-c11449 when Barcelona sold him back to Shakhtar Donetsk for
only 15 million Euros. In doing so, they incurred a 15 million Euros loss which was a profit for Shakhtar Donetsk.
Ricardo Kaka
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ricardo-c30950 Kaka’s services to A.C Milan in the summer transfer window of 2009 as the Brazilian playmaker was the hottest property in European football back then. Coming off a brilliant season for Milan
in the Serie A, Kaka was in the form of his life. Just a year ago, he had won the FIFA World Player of the Year award when he had led A.C Milan to a UEFA Champions League triumph over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 in the final of the competition. Kaka’s arrival at Real Madrid
coincided with the arrivals of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 as a new Galacticos era began at Santiago Bernabéu.
However soon it was evident that Kaka was not the best of the Galacticos as he failed to justify his 65 million Euros price tag for Real Madrid. In his first season in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, Kaka was a bit part player and in his second season
he was bogged down with injury. Upon his return from injury, Kaka was slowly reintroduced to first team action by Jose Mourinho but the Brazilian was rusty at best in his displays. It was a disappointing period for Kaka who was once seen as one of the best
players on the planet. Now as the Brazilian trequartista nears the 30 year mark, his best years appear to be past him and Madrid are now left to deal with the world class flop that they find themselves in possession of.
