Best:
Gago to Real Madrid
He's amazing. Period.
Aimar to Zaragoza
Aimar is a very special player. He had to put up with the lack of imagination and creativity of his teammates in Valencia for years. I'm happy he finally has teammates to make 1-2 passes with.
MATIAS FERNANDEZ to Villareal
He can blow your mind.

I wouldn't rate Tevez as a worst buy, his case is like Aimar's, only much much worst. He went to a team where no one has skills, creativity or sensibility to play along with him and create football. They are running machines prepared to hit and charge against the opposition defenders until a lucky goal comes in by a rebound. He has no one to play with.
To make things worst, their manager (as many european managers) prefers big beasts like Harewood or the 80 years old Sheringham. And while Zamora is not bad, he's not a partner for talents like Tevez. Would any of you seriously prefer any of these players over Tevez?
So he's not a worst buy, he belongs to a list called "worst moves for talented players".
Mascherano on the other side has always been an overrated player (as it tends to happen with many argentinians) but he's still miles ahead of the guy who shares the defensive double pivot with Reo-Cocker (Collins or Mullins, something like that).
Mullins.
Despite single handedly abusing my team, I pretty much agree with all of that mate.
Unfortunately all the bollocks going on behind the scenes at West Ham has contributed to our downfall.
For what it's worth, Tevez has played well when given the chance and he is generally very liked at our place.
Mascherano on the other hand is a more difficult one to call.
Everyon knows the guy has ability, but it's this typical basic English mentality that doesn't allow Mascherano any chance to show what he can do.
The English game was always going to be hard for him in the same way it was for Veron; both like time on the ball to create and give and move but he doesn't get no time for it. (This is why Mullins has been preferred up until now as his game is more adjusted to that).
95% of people at West Ham would like to see Mascherano given a role in the team, perhaps in a more unorthadox formation.
In my opinion he should have played alongside Reo-Coker and our promising youngster Mark Noble in a 3-man midfield with Yossi Benayoun in a free role ahead.
But now we have signed Boa Morte and Nigel Quashie (who I think could well turn out to be the best buy for us) we look like sticking with 4-4-2.
I just cannot wait for Dean Ashton to return asap... I for one am relishing seeing him and Tevez partnering each other up front.
I just hope it isn't too little, too late!!
Oh and by the way....
Not having that. Gudjohnson has great technique.
I agree... Gudjohnsen is the bollocks.
I personally thought he was technically the best footballer at Chelsea before he left.
