I know it is only December but I think we can call of the search for the buy of the season already. Barring some absolutely mercurial signing from a manager in January the best buy for me has to be Michu for Swansea.
The Spaniard only cost the Swans £2m will has looked a veritable snip compared to some of the figures which change hands when dealing even with some of the most average of players.
His two goals on the weekend which helped the Welsh club beat Arsenal highlighted just how calm and poised he is on the ball.
His second especially was calmness personified as he strode towards the Arsenal goal before coolly slotting the ball under keeper Wojciech Szczęsny.
Compare finishing of that calibre to £50m Fernando Torres or £35 Andy Carroll and I think it is clear to see which player represents value for money!
Here’s a video of some of Michu’s best bits. Swansea will do well to hold onto him in the summer I think.
