3 transfer deals that shouldn't have happened this summer

Juventus v SS Lazio - Serie A

We have already discussed the transfer deals that should have happened, as the summer transfer window closes with all the excitement. With the likes of Thibaut Courtois and Jorginho taking their place in their respective teams, these 3 players should have belonged somewhere else, either in terms of playing for their older clubs or by joining a team that welcomes their play style.

We have seen a flurry of transfer deals that have happened this very summer, given the fact that the deals that are taking place are more than just record-breaking ones. They are extremely important in terms of deciding the fate of their clubs.

With a long season up ahead, and the January transfer window is the very next stop for these lads, will they be able to capitalize on their teams? Or move on and join another?

#3 Andre Schurrle - Borussia Dortmund to Fulham FC

Schurrle made his return to the Premier League this very season, as he joined the Fulham side from Borussia Dortmund. He is often described as being one of the most underrated strikers in the world, as the former world-cup winner carries the potential to be a world-class striker.

With BVB sending him on loan, and not using him this season, it could be a regrettable decision made by the German side as his form in the current Premier League season is something to be afraid of. With a resurrected approach towards scoring goals, and getting his form absolutely straight, the German is now starting to make the best use of all the matches that he plays in.

#2 Fred - Shakhtar Donetsk to Manchester United

Manchester United v Leicester City - Premier League
The Brazilian doesn't look comfortable at the Old Trafford.

After a disappointing world-cup performance, the Brazilian national side had a lot to deal with. Given the fact that they were one of the favourites to win the tournament, the Selecaos have a lot to do to recover. In the midst, though, a box to box midfielder was chosen by none other than Jose Mourinho to join his squad of rag-tags all the way in England. Manchester United signed the Brazilian midfielder for a sum of £52million, and upon his arrival? Well, the Red Devils haven't really been able to capitalize.

He is often considered as one of the most resilient central midfielders in the world, but on the contrary he hasn't been able to fit in the plans of Mourinho, as we'd like him to. His playing style looks completely different from that of the Portuguese manager. Only if another club could get his signature, where he'd be able to play his part well, he'd be a success as of now.

#1 Cristiano Ronaldo - Real Madrid to Juventus

Breaking all the records not just in Spain, but all over Europe, Ronaldo's future was being questioned ever since the January transfer window last season. However, post world cup, Portugal's all-time top scorer had already decided his fate in terms of looking for a brand new club. Without much by way of a transfer saga, Ronaldo moved on to joining Juventus this very summer.

The best in the world, however, hasn't really been able to do much ever since he arrived in Italy. Given that his biological age, and his play-style is still up to the mark, most people would've liked him to continue his tenure with Real Madrid. Ronaldo has a long career up ahead, and with his fitness-system being more than just consistent even at the age of 33, he has all the tools of a pure world-class player.

Going to a club like Juventus, which undoubtedly is one of the most successful clubs in the world, on the contrary, will limit his talents, and could even force him to change his club.
