Pull quotes: 

In a football club like this you need time to adapt. Maybe the first year is just about getting to know it…it’s not right for a player to spend just a year in one country, that's too hard

- Javier Mascherano

- Robert Pires

A traumatic debut in a traumatic derby defeat by Manchester City, when Evra was repeatedly exposed as United lost 3-1, shattered whatever belief the Frenchman may have had upon his arrival

Essien became arguably Chelsea's most important player until two serious knee injuries forced a premature decline

At Portsmouth, Boateng was by some distance the most impressive player in a team that appeared almost certain for relegation before their opening league fixture

Those who hadn't witnessed De Gea's potential at Atletico Madrid simply couldn't see what it was that persuaded Sir Alex Ferguson to pay £18.3m for him
