Deadline Day: 5 Biggest Buys
It has been a busy transfer window across the globe, with some top deals being made. As we have arrived at Transfer Deadline Day, we'll give you a run-down on the five most expensive buys of the last few months.
#1 - Lucas Leiva - Liverpool to Paris Saint-Germain - £31 million
The most expensive signing of the summer was made by Paris Saint-Germain. They swooped in to buy Liverpool's Brazilian midfielder, but questions about the 26-year-old's price tag were raised. Brendan Rodgers was praised for the sale by many Liverpool fans, and several leading football journalist were quick to question Laurent Blanc on his purchase. Lucas joins up with fellow Brazilians Lucas Moura, Thiago Silva, Maxwell, Alex and Marquinhos. Lucas Leiva has so far featured in all three of PSG's Ligue 1 games, with an average rating of 7.37. Some excellent performances from the ex-Grêmio man have reduced some of the criticism, but he still has a long way to go before he pays off his fee.
#2 - Leighton Baines - Everton to Arsenal - £28.5 million
When Leighton Baines signed a new contract and rejected Manchester United's advances earlier this month, it looked like he was at Goodison Park to stay. But, this has since changed. It seems that the temptation of The Gunners was too much for the Merseyside born player to resist, and the English fullback, famed for his free-kicks, signed a five year contract at The Emirates Stadium. Less questions were asked about the sale from this side of Merseyside, with many pundits saying that the £28.5 million fee was justified. He joins up with ex-Everton team-mate Mikel Arteta, who joined from Everton in 2011. Baines has so far featured in both of the league leaders' games, and has managed to score once - from a free-kick - with an average rating of 7.70. An excellent start at his new club, and Baines is beginning to repay the price tag.
#3 - Antoine Griezmann - Real Sociedad to Manchester City - £22.5 million
Frenchman Antoine Griezmann joined Manchester City last month, for a fee of £22.5 million. Much like Lucas, many said that the fee was too high, and Pellegrini has received some criticism - but, like the other two before him, the 23-year-old Frenchman has already delivered some fantastic performances, and has silenced his critics. A goal, an assist, and an average rating of 7.15 in his first two league games with the club is a brilliant start, and the winger has started to capture the form that got him recognized by some of the world's best teams.
#4 - Pedro - Barcelona to Chelsea - £19.75 million
Another winger makes the top five on this list. Barcelona sold Pedro to Chelsea early last month, but the Spaniard is yet to make a competitive appearance for The Blues. The price tag may be large, but the 26-year-old is clearly talented, and it will take a lot to persuade Chelsea's faithful otherwise. He is a widely recognized player in the footballing world, and when he gets into full flow, he will surely earn a place in the first team, and could help Chelsea in their quest for a title. Fernando Torres and Cesar Azpilicueta have reportedly helped their fellow countryman settle in, and Pedro has signed a five year contract with the club.
#5 - Miralem Pjanić - AS Roma to Liverpool - £17.75 million
Bosnian attacking midfielder, Miralem Pjanić, joined Liverpool from AS Roma for a fee of £17.75 million, as a replacement for Lucas, but Rodgers has since gone back on this, and is, in fact, playing with both an attacking midfielder, and a defensive midfielder. Pjanić, however, has gotten off to a very slow start - despite featuring in all three of Liverpool's league games, and grabbing an assist. He has only managed an average rating of 6.53, but he has the whole season to turn this around. It could well be that he needs time to settle into his new environment, and Liverpool fans are prepared to be patient with the 23-year-old playmaker, who also signed a five year contract with his new club.
