Four crazy career moves following Gignac’s switch to Mexico

Robbie Keane
Gordon Strachan’s Coventry City enjoyed the clinical goalscoring talents of a 20-year-old Dubliner for only one season, before Keane made a stunning £13 move to Inter Milan during the turn of the millennium.

However, the Republic of Ireland’s record goalscorer endured a torrid term in Serie A, before a loan spell with Leeds United eventually ended in a permanent deal being agreed.

Watch Keane slot home a delightful double in his days for Coventry City before a switch to Inter Milan.

Esteban Cambiasso
After making over 300 appearances for Inter Milan, winning the treble under Jose Mourinho in 2010, this Argentina midfield maestro swapped the San Siro for the King Power Stadium.

Cambiasso was heavily linked with a move back to his native homeland to join River plate, but instead opted to join Premier League side Leicester City, and eventually helped them avoid relegation last season (9/2 to go down 2015/16).

Watch Cambiasso slot home past David de Gea in that famous 5-3 Leicester City triumph over Manchester United.

Fabrizio Ravanelli
This colourful character surprisingly joined Bryan Robson’s Middlesbrough from Juventus in 1996 for £7m, but an even bigger shock came in 2003 when he move to Scottish side Dundee united.

After making only five outings for the struggling Scots, Ravanelli moved on and the club went into administration with over £23m of debts.

Watch Ravanelli score from a seemingly impossible angle for Juventus in 1996 against Ajax.

Robinho
Could he do it on a wet, windy night in Stoke? Not exactly, but the Brazil international forward did manage a terrific treble against the Potters during a home clash at the Etihad.

However, this turned out to be one of the former AC Milan forward’s highlights, as he endured quite a troublesome stint with the Sky Blues, following a £32.5m move from Spanish giants Real Madrid.

Even with his Samba talent, such a fee was excessive and wasn’t repaid in results, but the vastly wealthy City owners only spent more money to eventually claim domestic success. The current City crop are hoping to win back the Premier League crown next season and are 5/2 to do so.
