1. Wesley Sneijder
In a transfer window where just about anything can (and does) happen, one of the few certainties of it was that Inter Milan's Wesley Sneijder would move for pastures new. He had been ostracised at Inter, banished to the reserves and told he'd never play for the club again unless he accepted a wage-cut. He hadn't played a competitive game since September by the time Liverpool came calling, and Brendan Rodgers was prepared to offer him a deal to rescue him from his hell at the San Siro.* However, by that point, Turkish side Galatasaray had also entered the market for the creative midfielder and looked primed to beat Liverpool to the punch for his signature, which they did, in the end, but not before the Dutchman seemed to stall over a move to Turkey, instead apparently favouring a move to the Premier League. His astronomical wage demands priced him out of a move to England in the end, and he ended up signing for Galatasaray.** *
