Close your eyes for a second and imagine having the opportunity to start your club roster from scratch with a loaded chequebook. You have the chance to go out and build a squad around one player that will ultimately mean the difference between your club failing or succeeding.

Roy Keane was incredibly busy in the transfer market this summer, drafting in the likes of Djibril Cisse, El Hadji Diouf and Steed Malbranque but to name three!
