4) Ashley Young to Aston Villa in 2007 for £13m
Because of the repeated diving controversies over the past season or so, it’s easy to forget that Young was an exceptional player at Aston Villa. He joined from Watford for a sizeable fee, and did so well that his manager Martin O’Neill once said he was on a par with Ronaldo and Messi! Villa sold him to Manchester United in 2011 for a very large fee, but to be fair, they have never really managed to replace him.
