[Jimmy Floyd]

And is Pato 17? Although as I recall he only actually went when he turned 18.

[-james-]

Ze Roberto yep. Odegaard nope.

Pato is right. Lol at him being a Chelsea player a year ago.

I didn't even realise he'd played a minute for Liverpool.

[phonics]

I saw this football365 article so for once I'm seeing one of these and not floundering for half an answer

[Danny]

Bale 25 - 86m
Ronaldo, I think at, 24 (signed for United at 18 and left 6 years later) 80m

[Disco]

Neymar, Suarez, Di Maria, maybe Zidane too.

[-james-]

14 - Sheyi Ojo for £2.13 million from MK Dons to Liverpool
15 - £2.72 million
16 - £8.93 million
17 - Pato for £8.93 million from Internacional to AC Milan
18 - £32 million
19 - Martial for £42.5 million from Monaco to Man Utd
20 - £52 million

37 - £2.13 million

[SvN]

22 might be Stones
28 - Higuain?

32 is killing me. It's bound to be one of the shit players that City overpaid for when they first got their Arab cash.

[Reg]

32 Wayne Bridge? I don't think he was that old though...

25 Tevez to Man Utd?

[SvN]

We didn't buy Tevez.

37 - Friedel? I'm pretty sure Villa paid a couple of million for him.

[Weaver]

I think the 32 year old is Shay Given - he left us for Man City and he's about 40 now, so SVN's shout about it being when they first got cash would be right too.

[-james-]

Shay Given it is.

[SvN]

18 must be Shaw

[SvN]

20 must be easy, there can't be many that young that have transferred for £50m+.

[Disco]

Sterling?

[Disco]

Let's have Bale in there too, 24 or 25.

[Disco]

15 will be that Spanish lad that lasted about half an hour.

[phonics]

I'm amazed no-ones got the 30 year old yet.

[-james-]

25 is recent and 24 is some Welsh bloke.

[Disco]

Etoo for the Inter one?

[phonics]

Nope

[Disco]

Zlatan?

[phonics]

You're somehow getting further away.

[-james-]

How curious. My source has it as Eto'o, looked up the football365 one and it agrees for every other age, but has a different inter player for 30. Both similar price tags.

[Disco]

Who else have they sold for that much? I can only think of Balotelli and Kovacic but they;re both far too young. Is it going to be Dino Baggio form 1998 as part of a money laundering effort?

[-james-]

Think very briefly rich Russian team.

[-james-]

Hang on, you got that one.


Think Champions League final scorer.

[-james-]

Hang on once more. Inter signing, not sale. I blame phonics.

[Disco]

For fucks sake

[Danny]

24 Bale
25 De Bruyne
30 Crespo

[Pen]

Milito for the Inter signing.

[Disco]

Oscar to China?

[CJay]

Fran Merida is the Arsenal player.

[Disco]

That's the chap, they like them young in that North London they do. Have any of them worked? Walcott I suppose.

[niko_cee]

Fabregas?

[Jimmy Floyd]

This player has done the following:

1. Played at two World Cups
2. Gone to a World Cup, and won the continental championship (i.e. Euros, Copa America, Afcon etc)
3. Gone to a World Cup
4. Played in the continental championship
5. Played at an Olympic Games

Each of the above numbers has taken place on a different continent.

He's also played in the Premier League.

Who is the player?

[John Arne]

Almost Dunga.... but he played in 3 World Cups.... I'm guessing they managed in South America or Europe?

[wullie]

Tim Cahill?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Tim Cahill hasn't been to enough World Cups and the continents don't quite stack up, but it's a decent guess.

[wullie]

The continental championship being played on two separate continents seems the biggest thing, but then saying played for some and gone to others has thrown me off.

[Max Power]

Rafael Marquez?

[Offshore Toon]

Marquez.

[-james-]

The third clue must mean he played at the South Africa world cup.

[Max Power]

Hasn't played in the premier league has he ffs.

This is hard

[-james-]

Hierro?

[-james-]

Nah, no Africa there is there.

[Max Power]

Yakubu?

[-james-]

1. world cups 98 and 06
2. 02 world cup and AFC cup winner with Australia last year
3. '10 world cup
4. OFC runner up with Australia?
5. Brazil Olympics

Mark Bresciano?


Unless it's someone who's been to the gold cup, a copa America and the 2000 olympics that's my best guess.
