Fulham to Benfica
Fee; Loan
Kostas Mitroglou joined Fulham is january 2014 for a club record fee £12 million and only featured 3 times for the london club. He joined Olympiakos on loan for the whole of last season scoring 16 goals in 24 appearances for the greek side.
He made it clear to the Fulham manager Kit Symons that he does not see himself in the Championship and will play for Fulham if they get promotion to the league (Talk about reaping from were you did not sow). His scoring stats are great, so Benfica have got themselves a fortune.
Edin Dzeko
Manchester City to AS Roma
Fee: £14million
The Manchester City striker has found first team opportunities limited due to the form of Kun Aguero and unlucky injury spells. The signing of Wilfried Bony was the writing on the wall that Dzeko was going to be surplus to requirements for the Citizens. In 130 appearances for city Edin scored 50 goals and was vital in City's Premier League win in 2012 and 2014. At Roma he will surely get more playing time and will suite the 4-3-3 formation Rudi Garcia operates.
Transfer Rating: 7/10, City fans should not forget him in a hurry
Eljero Elia
Werder Bremen to Feyenoord
Fee: Undisclosed
The bad boy of dutch football was deemed surplus to require at Bremen so he joined Southampton on loan in January, featuring 16 times for the saints scoring two goals. We all taught the saints would wrap a deal for him but they could not agree a fee with Bremen, then Feyenoord turned up to sign him on a 2 year deal. The 28-year old will be back home and this could help revive himself and show what he has.
Transfer Rating: 5/10
Bakary Sako
Wolverhampton to Crystal Palace
Fee: Free
The Mali International was a target for some Premier League clubs but he chose to sign for Palace. The stouty forward can play on any side of the flanks or at centre-forward. He scored 38 goals in 124 matches for Wolves and says he spoke to the likes of West-Brom and co but when he spoke to Alan (Pardew), he knew palace was the place for him. Alan Pardew has brought a couple of gems to the premier league, lets hope Sako is one of them.
Transfer Rating: 5/10
Connor Wickham
Sunderland to Crystal Palace
Fee:£9million
We really don't understand this move, Palace splashing 9 million on a striker that has scored only 11 goals in four seasons with Sunderland. Yes as a teenager he was highly rated our good friend @Djmrus (Michael Amarie), used to follow him up back in the day as Wickham was touted to be an English great. Last season Wickham scored 5 goals in 36 league appearances, that's why his shot accuracy is at 43%. As they say we can't judge a book by it's cover but in this case i think we have read the script.
Transfer Rating: 3/10
N'golo Kante
Caen to Leicester City
Fee:Undisclosed
The french midfielder is a powerful figure and was brought in to fill the void left by Leicester City player of the year 2015 Esteban Cambiasso. He played 37 matches for Caen in the French League were he accumulated 1246 passes with an average of 79% complete, creating 45 chances which resulted to 5 assists and a rare 2 goals. Another new player for premier league fans should look out for
Transfer Rating: 5/10
Yohan Benalouane
Atalanta to Leicester City
Fee: Undisclosed
The Tunisian International joined Leicester on a four year deal joining Robert Huth to bolster the Leicester City defence. The centre-halve said he only joined leicester because he felt Atalanta needed the money, weird coming from a player wonder if he really wants to play for Leicester. For Atalanta last season he won 35 tackles, made 57 interceptions, 141 clearances with 13 blocks. Leicester could do with his fire power after the goals they leaked last season.
Transfer Rating: 5/10.
Pablo Osvaldo
Southampton to FC Porto
Fee; Free
The bad boy was released by Southampton early this summer after he had bad spells on and off the pitch at his former parent club and on loan at Inter. His hot head character has diminished his qualities and is denting his image badly. He was loaned to Inter because he was in a bust-up with Southampton captain Jose Fonte. He loan was then terminated when he was in a burst up with Inter-Milan striker Mauro Icardi. He featured 12 times for the Nerazzurri last season scoring 5 goals. This move to Porto should give him a fresh start and help him to focus on football. Maybe Porto can do a Quaresma on him because there is a quality player in Osvaldo.
Transfer Rating: 5/10
When Osvaldo's head is straight he does stuff like this:
The season starts in a few, don't forget to join our fantasy league, Name: Footyonpaper Code:600603-149636, Come on lads let's see who the best manager is
