The best transfers after the Euro's...

So a few days back we looked at some ridiculous signings after the Euro’s, so it’s only fair we give credit to the managers who made the right choice after these enthralling European Championships. 

Thanks for the previous feedback on who else was rubbish…..try and add to our list of good signings made after a Euro competition. 

Petr Cech - One of the best keepers of our generation. He's won over 25 individual awards since moving to Chelsea, including last season's Champions League. Czech footballer of the year 4 times in a row, 3 time UEFA Club Football's Best Goalkeeper, 2 time Barclay's Golden Glove winner & IFFHS World's Best Goalkeeper in 2005. Although, probably his strangest award is the "Chelsea Special Achievement Award" given to him by Chelsea for recovering from a head injury. His talents were spotted during Euro 2004 by mad-man Ranieri, and we've managed to spot his talents at being in funny pictures (see more at the bottom of the article).

He looks monstrous in Chelsea's new gear

Team: Chelsea

Duration: 8 seasons currently

Cost: £7 million

Trophies: 12

Juventus boys - Juventus picked up 2 of the best players after Euro 2004; Zlatan & Fabio Cannavaro. The pair were with the club until they were relegated for the match fixing scandal (Calciopoli scandal) in 2006. They won titles in 2005 & 2006, although, due to the scandal, I don't think they're legally allowed to brag about it. Great players though!

The new away gear suited Fab well

Team: Juventus

Duration: 2 years

Cost: €19 million (Zlatan) + €swap deal (Cannavaro)

Trophies: Legal trophies?

Davor Suker - 2nd highest goal scorer & in the Euro 96 Team of the Tournament, Suker was bought by Real Madrid & scored 24 goals in his first season, including 3 hattricks. He was Madrid's top scorer in his first season and also helped them win the La Liga. The following season he went on to win the Champions League with Madrid. He's following spell at Arsenal was less prolific, but Suker will always be remembered as THAT Croatian guy who could score at will. Legend.

Team: Real Madrid

Duration: 3 seasons

Cost: £9.7 million

Trophies: 4

Alan Shearer - from the 2nd highest scorer or Euro 96, to the top scorer. After topping the charts at the Euro's, Shearer was wanted by Man United. Keegan got involved & persuaded Shearer to move to Newcastle. His first season saw him top the EPL goal scorers charts & win PFA Player of the Year. He never won the league again, but scored a ton of goals & celebrate every one in the same way. If you don't  think Shearer wasn't one of Newcastle's best buys ever, than I dread to hear what you think of Obertan. On the United transfer move - the rumour suggests Blackburn would've sold him only to United, if they would trade Scholes also. Good for all parties that this move didn't happen.

Team: Newcastle

Duration: 10 years

Cost: £15 million

Trophies: 0 (this doesn't do justice to his awesomeness)

Luis Figo - Yes, it was after Euro 2000 that Figo left Barcelona for Real Madrid. While we're sure Madrid were aware of Figo before the Euro's, that chap did reach the semi-finals in 2000 & made the UEFA Team of the Tournament also. He spent 5 years at both clubs but managed to score more goals at Madrid as well as earning a Champions League medal. He's become such a legend that Ford have named a car after him (although this car is complete shit in comparison to Figo). Here he is enjoying his favourite beer, Tysk7enle - hmmm yummm. Oh look, it's his closest of close mates, Marco van Basten (not Portuguese) and Zbigniew Boniek (definitely not Portuguese).

Team: Real Madrid

Duration: 5 years

Cost: £37 million

Trophies: 7

Now I go on for a while talking about the lovely pilsner which is Tyskie. I can probably name a couple of other players who were signed after a good Euro competition, but I'd like to hear some of your suggestions so drop some names in the comments box below these awesome pics.
