Some transfers have fallen short of expectations. Real Madrid's signing of Gareth Bale was a great coup, but some question if it has paid off completely.
It was yet another important move for Fernando Torres that did not go as planned.
It's worth noting that six transactions were missed in this article, which could have had a huge impact on history.
1. Steven Gerrard is heading to Chelsea.
The Reds captain appeared to be leaving Anfield for the 2004 European Championships, but a hate campaign against his family kept him there.
Mourinho, the manager of Chelsea at the time, was quite interested. as reported by the Daily Mail
Liverpool announced on its website that Gerrard will play for Rafael Benitez (via the Daily Mail).
Steven Gerrard has committed to Liverpool, putting an end to talks of a move elsewhere. Liverpool fans are glad that their crucial captain will not be lost.
2. Manchester United's Wesley Sneijder
At the top of the list is a true Manchester United legend. He was so good that he was never called up to the team.
Seriously, there wouldn't be a transfer window if Sneijder wasn't touted in conjunction with a move to Old Trafford.
Everyone was salivating at the prospect of reading it, but no one believed it.
3. Real Madrid sign Cristiano Ronaldo
Ronaldo was on the verge of joining Arsenal in 2003. The Gunners gave him a No. 9 shirt when he was 18 years old.
Wenger stated in 2008 that a price could not be agreed upon with Ronaldo's squad, Sporting Lisbon.
Arsenal.com cited the manager. Ronaldo was tutored by me. After that, I gave him a shirt. It was customized. The transfer fee between the two clubs was the deciding factor.
The teams' transfer fee was a steal [£12.25 million]. In reality, the price we discussed was cut in half.
4. Manchester United for Toni Kroos
David Moyes had a disastrous tenure as manager of Manchester United, yet he appears to have negotiated for Toni Kroos to join the club in 2014.
The move appeared to be arranged when Moyes was fired.
5. The Incredible Hulk to Chelsea
The Blues identified a long-term replacement for Didier Drogba after arranging a cost of £38 million with Porto.
Hulk recorded 77 goals in 170 appearances for the Portuguese giants.
Despite Chelsea's best efforts, Zenit St. Petersburg paid a record £50 million transfer fee to sign Hulk in 2013.
When Jose Mourinho returned to Stamford Bridge in 2013, it was speculated that Hulk was on his wish list of players. Rather, Mourinho signed Andre Schurrle from Bayer Leverkusen.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Arsenal
Arsenal, under Arsene Wenger, should be recognized as the "almost" club. They were on the verge of signing several players, including Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic was invited to Arsenal as a 16-year-old. When Wenger pressed Ibrahimovic for a trial, Zlatan said, "Zlatan doesn't do auditions," and everything appeared to be back on track. It's characteristic of Zlatan.
What may have happened if Zlatan had been able to play in the Premier League at such a young age?
Arsenal has players such as Henry and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. It's not a pleasant experience, to put it frankly.
