#4 Nuri Sahin
2010/2011 was one the whirlwind seasons in the history of German Bundesliga. Under the management of Jurgen Klopp came forth a group of relatively lesser known footballers who won the league, putting an end to the Bayern dynasty. Nuri Sahin was their midfield maestro, the orchestrator. He was the kind of disciplined midfielder Real craved for. A year after Mourinho took charge of Real, he brought Sahin in for a mere £9.00m fee. Sahin was expected to break into the first team and add steel and vigour to the Los Blancos midfield.
However, he could barely make it into the first team. He made only ten appearances, scored a goal, and bagged an assist during his one year spell for Real. At the end of the season, he was loaned out to Liverpool. Sahin currently plays for the German outfit Werder Bremen.
