TOULOUSE SCRAPING BARGAIN BASEMENT
View attachment 80267
Toulouse have spent a large part of the summer scraping the bargain basement following their €16m purchase of Thomas Hudson, with each player being placed on the transfer list at their respective clubs
First brought in was Julian Rainford, brought in from Arsenal for €4.9m
Rainford, 24, came through the ranks at Arsenal, but, like so many, never made a league appearance for the Gunners
The midfielder instead spent time on loan at Huddersfield, Aston Villa, Brighton, Norwich and Celtic, making a combined 161 league appearances

Also brought in was Ilie Mora, who joins Toulouse from Barcelona for a fee of €2m
Mora, like Rainford, never made an appearance for his former club, instead spending time on loan at Deportivo Alaves, Malaga and Real Valladolid. Making a combined 146 league appearances

Next on the list is fellow Massimo Arena, who's joined from fellow French side Paris Saint-Germain for €1.8m
Arena, 24, joined PSG as a teenager from Pescara Calcio for €4m and made 18 league appearances for the Parisians
The Italian goalkeeper, however, fell out of favour at Emery Park and has now joined Toulouse for a reduced fee

Last but not least is Jaap Boere, who's joined from Manchester United for €4.2m
Toulouse's transfer window has been the story of the failed wonderkid and Boere is no different, having a huge around of hype since joining Spart Rotterdam for €9m from Willhelm II as an 18 year old
The teen scored 47 goals in 71 league games for the club which earned him his big move to United, but he never made a league appearance for the Red Devils
