8. Angelo Peruzzi (Inter Milan to Lazio)
Age at time of transfer: 30
Price: £12.5m
This Italian is evidence that goalkeepers tend to peak a bit later than most. He spent time at Roma, Juventus and Inter and yet enjoyed the best spell of his career at Lazio before his 2007 retirement.
7. Bastian Schweinsteiger (Bayern Munich to Manchester United)
Age at time of transfer: 30
Price: £14m
Louis van Gaal wanted a top-class midfielder, and he got one. Schweinsteiger is a World Cup and Champions League winner and has every attribute to dominate a game from the centre of the park.
