10 ‘random’ signings that have occurred this century

Kevin-Prince Boateng (Las Palmas)

A classic. He came to the island team from Milan in the 2016-17 season, after having played in other institutions such as Borussia Dortmund or Tottenham. He scored ten goals and gave four assists in 29 games.

David Trezeguet (Hercules)

How to forget this famous signing. A recently promoted Hercules from Alicante raised an ambitious project that took the French star to southern Spain, along with others such as Valdez and Drenthe. Despite this, the Blue and Whites failed to save the category.

Van der Vaart (Betis)

It took everyone by surprise. The ex from Real Madrid, Ajax or Tottenham arrived in Heliópolis in the 2015-16 season, a signing of bells that filled the Verdiblancos with illusion. A season later he left having played nine games, four of them as a starter.

Florian Thauvin (Tigers)

Another unpredictable arrival. The international with the French National Team was a very important piece in the Olympique de Marseille. It’s common to see older players go to other lower-level leagues, but Thauvin surprised everyone by crossing the pond at just 28 years old.

Pascal Cygan (Cartagena)

This one is for the geeks. Mythical central defender from Lille and Arsenal who arrived at Villarreal giving his last football blows. However, a recently promoted Cartagena proposed to him to dress in black and white at the age of 35. He gave the chest do: 57 games in two seasons.

Giuseppe Rossi (Levante)

The truth is that after the serious injury he suffered he was never the same again, but it did not stop being a striking signing. The Italian striker had just scored 17 goals in 24 games for Fiorentina in the 2013-14 season. With the ‘granotas’ he saw the door up to six times.

Edgar Davids (The Child)

Your case is really curious. He retired at Swansea City back in 2011. However, for 2012-13 he decided to wear shorts again and play for Barnet in League Two at the age of 40. Striking experience for the former Juventus, Barcelona or Tottenham.

Esteban Granero (Marbella)

He decided to go down two categories and go to the Costa del Sol. At 32, he enjoyed a moderate participation in a Espanyol that played the Europa League. However, he ended up playing for Marbella a total of 32 games before announcing his retirement.

Radamel Falcao (Rayo Vallecano)

We save the last two for last. What seemed little more than a joke at the beginning of the transfer market, has ended up becoming a reality. A tiger is on the loose in Vallecas and seems to be hungry for a goal.

Javier Pastore (Elche)

In case it did not have enough with Darío Benedetto, Elche gave another twist to its squad with the market already closed. Javier Pastore, the first ‘galactic’ of the PSG sheikh, has joined Christian Bragarnik’s franjiverde project, crowned with ‘Albiceleste’ players.
