Joao Moutinho. Falcao’s knee injury let the French side suffer last season, this
season he is on a two-year loan at Manchester United. While World Cup star James

with a move away from France.
3. Tottenham (€150m - 2013)
After
the departure of Gareth Bale to Real Madrid for a world record fee, Spurs
brought quantity rather than quality. They signed Roberto Soldado, Christian
Eriksen, Paulinho and Erik Lamela. Eriksen is playing well this season. But the
others are still not fulfilling their dutries.

the Russian elite which led them to sell their star names.
