Serie A's 10 best transfers of the season 2010-11

Multiple changes needed to be made at many of Italy's clubs last summer. With Inter having chalked up a fifth straight league title, the chasers went on a spree while the champions themselves took it easy. Juventus brought in a raft of new names while AC Milan followed a mid-summer period of what appeared to be modest movement by splashing out on Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Robinho in the final days of the transfer window.

Further down the table Lazio made a move to strengthen their hopes of claiming European football by beating Palermo to the signature of Brazilian playmaker Hernanes from Sao Paulo. The Sicilians were on the lookout for reinforcements partly due to the loss of Edinson Cavani to Champions League hopefuls Napoli.

Come the winter, the big three were all spending again. Inter made a handful of additions after their treacherous start to the season, and Juventus made some changes to aid their faltering Champions League push. Meanwhile, leaders Milan looked to touch up their squad with names like Mark van Bommel, Antonio Cassano and Urby Emanuelson.
