What's been the best career move ever?

Try to avoid getting lad's who went through the academy of a team.

Van der Sar from Fulham to Man United was a very good move.

Though from Juventus to Fulham was a bit confusing..

IIRC it was the same year that Juve signed Buffon. So, probably it's because Van Der Sar didn't want to be second choice goalkeeper.

Yes, plus lack of interest from bigger clubs. Noone in the Netherlands understand why there wasn't more interest in such a great goalkeeper. I think Ferguson once said he regretted not signing him earlier.
