Imagine the frequent flier miles Mounier racked up in January

This one is strange so stick with it here, it gets a little peculiar. Anthony Mounier started the season at his parent club Bologna, where he was rarely used under Roberto Donadoni.

Keen for a change of scenery, the 29-year-old decided on a return to his native France on loan with Saint-Etienne. However, just four days and zero games into the deal, Les Verts cancelled it under pressure from their fans who were furious of quotes made by the player about their club while he was at OGC Nice back in 2012.

A few more bizarre games on the bench and he was on his way again, to high-flying Atalanta. He proceeded to barely contribute, his longest stint on the field coming in an half-an-hour showing in the 7-1 drubbing dealt by Inter and there ends the tale of one strange old season for Mounier.
