5. Fernandinho - Shakhtar Donetsk To Manchester City
Fernandinho - a leanly built 28-year-old defensive midfielder with no experience in any of the big European leagues and only five senior caps for Brazil. On paper, it's no wonder Man City fans are struggling to vindicate the
£30 million price tag hanging over this questionable acquisition. The exorbitant deal appears to be a knee-jerk reaction to the supposed decline of Yaya Touré following his dreary form last season. He may be 31-years-old, but the unhealthy dependence of his midfield colleagues weighed the Ivorian down more so than his ageing body. Yes, City desperately needed to sign a proficient accompaniment for the former Barcelona star, but was £30 million the right price for a player unproven outside the Ukrainian Premier League?
