Biggest soccer transfers of this year 2009/2010

In my country, soccer is the most famous sport and because almost everybody loves soccer, i thought it would be nice to make a list with every major soccer transfer of 2009. As you can see the list is divided per team:

Number Name Player Value Old team New team

1. Cristiano Ronaldo for € 94.000.000 from Manchester United to Real Madrid
2. Ricardo Káka for € 65.000.000 from AC Milan to Real Madrid
3. Xabi Alonso for € 35.000.000 from Liverpool to Real Madrid
4. Karim Benzema for € 35.000.000 from Lyon to Real Madrid
5. Alvaro Arbeloa for € 4.000.000 from Liverpool to Real Madrid
6. Raúl Albiol for € 15.000.000 from Valencia to Real Madrid
7. Zlatan Ibrahimovic for € 35.000.000 (+ Samuel Eto’o + Aleksandr Hleb on loan) from Inter Milan  to Barcelona
8. Maxwell for € 4.500.000 from Inter to Barcelona
9. Carneiro Keirrison for € 14.000.000 from Palmeiras to Barcelona
10. Diego Milito for Unkown fee + Robert Acquafresca from Genoa to Inter Milan
11. Thiago Motta for Unkown fee + Robert Acquafresca from Genoa to Inter Milan
12. Yuri Zhirkov for € 21.000.000 from CSKA Moscow to Chelsea
13. Glen Johnson for € 21.000.000 from Portsmouth to Liverpool
14. David N’Gog for € 2.000.000 from PSG to Liverpool
15. Michael Owen for Free from Newcastle to Manchester United
16. Gabriel Obertan for € 3.000.000 from Bordeaux to Manchester United
17. Carlos Tevez for € 29.000.000 from Manchester United to Manchester City
18. Gareth Barry for € 14.000.000 from Aston Villa to Manchester City
19. Roque Santa Cruz for € 21.000.000 from Blackburn Rovers to Manchester City
20. Emmanuel Adebayor for 29.000.000 from Arsenal to Manchester City
21. Thomas Vermaelen for € 12.000.000 from Ajax to Arsenal
22. Fabio Cannavaro for Free from Real Madrid to Juventus
23. Diego for € 24.500.000 from Werder Bremen to Juventus
24. Felipe Melo for € 25.000.000 from Fiorentina to Juventus
25. Mario Gomez for € 30.000.000 from VfB Stuttgart to Bayern München
26. Ivica Olic for Free from Hamburg SV to Bayern München
27. Miguel Moya for € 6.000.000 from Mallorca to Valencia
28. Oguchi Onyewu for free from Standard Liège to AC Milan
29. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar for € 15.000.000 from Real Madrid to AC Milan

So this is the list I have so far. As you can see, Real Madrid have bought the biggest names and have spend the most money. The most money spend for one player is € 94.000.000 for Cristiano Ronaldo, but many of you knew that already.

Personally I don’t think that buying the biggest names, will make you the biggest or best team in the world. You will need to have a team that does everything for each other. If that particular team has great players and they stick on each other like gluw, they will most likely be the best team in the world. If you have three or four players that aren’t teamplayers, the manager will have a lot of trouble to have any major trophy with that particular squad. Why do I mention this? Well, you see it every year. Each team buys at least 3 or 4 players. The biggest teams in the world buy the most famous players for a fee that’s not normal anymore. But what happents? They don’t play that good. Everybody thinks you (that particular team) will defeat everybody on the road, but nothing is less true.

I think well known manager should keep in mind: players that are not that famous and especially young players will try to make thier dream come true, therefore they will give at least 110%. The players that already made it, will probably give 80%. See the difference?

I just thought I should mention this . Back to the list now. If you have more “big names”-transfers that need to be added to the list, just wright in a comment and I will add it as soon as possible.

Here is a small list of players that probably make a move by the start of the new season:

Vincent Kompany to Barcelona? Sergio Agüero to Manchester United? Franck Ribery to Chelsea? Andrea Pirlo to Chelsea? Alberto Aquilano to Liverpool? Sneijder to Inter?

So this is it for now. Keep in mind, if you have more news about transfers, just post it in a comment and let me know. I will add it to the list as soon as possible. If you want to read more soccer news you can read about it here.

He also coached at the collegiate and professional levels. Ronson, the son of Fleetwood stalwart Percy Ronson, began his career at Blackpool, making his debut in March 1975 against Nottingham Forest. He originally struggled to break into the side but eventually managed to establish himself in the first team. In 1978, he went on loan to the Fort Lauderdale Strikers of the North American Soccer League. He was unable to prevent the club’s relegation during the 197778 season and spent one more year at the club before joining Cardiff City for a fee of £130,000, a club record at the time. He missed very few games in his two years at Ninian Park before growing disenchanted with the club’s lack of progress and leaving to join Wrexham. His only season at Wrexham ended in relegation, and he left to join Barnsley. He became popular at the Yorkshire club before falling out with manager Allan Clarke and being loaned to Birmingham City before being released and returning to Blackpool on non-contract terms. He moved to America in 1986 to join the Baltimore Blast of the Major Indoor Soccer League. He remained with the Blast for six seasons. The Blast collapsed at the end of the 1991-1992 season.

Excerpt: Anthony Buttimer (known as the “Jersey Referee”) is an Irish FIFA-level soccer referee from Cork. An experienced League of Ireland official, he took charge of the 2008 FAI Cup Final in the RDS, Dublin. Buttimer earned his nickname after a number of colourful incidents preceding and during FAI eircom League matches involving various team kits, one incident of which led to legal threats by the kit supplier of Sligo Rovers. He is one of the most hated referees in Irish football and is widely regarded by many fans as incompetent and regularly has to be provided with additional security at games. He is currently rumoured to be under investigation by the FAI due to the number of complaints received in season 2009 from supporters,managers and the media and may be been cited as a result. Buttimer regularly referees matches in the League of Ireland where he has been accused of being “the main attraction of the night” by Sligo Rovers manager Paul Cook. In the past he has been dispatched to referee local derbies including the Connacht Derby contested between Sligo Rovers and Galway United in August 2007.. Buttimer is best known for having difficulties determining the colours of team kits and managerial suits. At Oriel Park on 23 September 2007, he almost postponed Dundalk’s league game against Shelbourne after taking issue with the colour of the goalkeeper’s jerseys. Buttimer was said to be “unsatisfied” with four colours provided by Dundalk – blue, black, yellow and grey all causing some unspecified problem or other. A Shelbourne director left the ground to search for an alternative kit in the local Lifestyle Sports, as managers John Gill and Dermot Keely told the referee they were on the verge of “going for a pint”.
