Davide Santon

Despite being a Football Manager legend, Davide Santon never excelled on Tyneside.

Signed from Inter Milan where Jose Mourinho had rated him highly, Santon spent four years at Newcastle United but never truly matched his potential.

After a highly acrimonious departure, the Italian is now back in Milan and is enjoying his football again.

A good signing, if not spectacular.

Transfer rating: 7/10
