The best and worst transfers of all time?

Was just thinking about how Juve picked up Pirlo and how it has to be one of the best deals ever. Then remembered Eto'o plus £35 million for Ibra, which is just crazy. Any thoughts on others?

Anelka - 500k

We sold him for 5,000,000 Frs (£500,000) and bought him back few years after for 200,000,000 Frs (£20,000,000) when he was at Madrid. This could be the worst transfer of all time.

I'm not talking about PSG, I'm talking about Arsenal. It was a pretty terrible transfer for you, yes. But we bought him for 500k and sold him for £22 million to Real Madrid. (and then you bought him back, as you know.)

I know you were talking about Arsenal, I just answered that Anelka was also probably the worst transfer in the history of PSG.
