Obviously Ronaldinho is always a great signing. He'll get back to fitness again.
On pre season form Bentley may in fact be better than the already exceptional Dos Santos and I haven't seen enough of Modric to comment.
However here is my list for the top 5 BARGAIN transfers of the summer
1.
Carlos Cuellar (Rangers to Aston Villa) - I was wondering how O'Neil planned to replace an experienced and quality center back in Melberg.
2.
Sulley Muntari (Portsmouth to Inter Milan) - I feel a little sorry I never took the time to notice this guy & now he's gone.
I should've realised that anyone who can start in a midfield containing Michael Essien & Steven Appiah must be special.
3.
Van De Vaart (Hamburg to Real Madrid) - Personally taking into account his abilities as a footballer, 12 or 13 million is peanuts for someone of his calibre.
I personally believe his passings of a far higher standard than Sneijder, no disrespect intended to Sneijder, & if he can add goals he deserves to be first choice.
4.
Alberto Gillardino (AC Milan to Fiorentina) - He definitely doesn't desrve the tag of being a big club failure. He scored 36 goals in 9 games for Milan.
If that's failure then what's success? Gila is just a players who prefers quick play and takes opportunistic goals.Milan favour a slower build up.
5.
Carlos Villanueva (Audax Italiano to Blackburn Rovers - Loan) - I've only seen a few highlights packages of this guy but what I've seen fills me with hope.
He COULD, could, I say, be something very special. Or not. Still look him up on youtube. It's worth it and you may be impressed.
Honourable mentions to Ezequiel Garay (Racing Santadar to Real Madrid), Daniel Alves (Sevilla to Barcelona) & Renato Augusto (Flamengo to Bayer Leverkusen).
