Zaragoza had a big problem at the end of last season and that was that they had to shell out money to keep hold of most of their team as a lot were on loan. In my opinion they've done fantastically in managing to keep those players and making the team stronger for next season.
-------------------------- César
- Diogo ------ Sergio --------- Ayala ------ Juanfran
-------------------------- Zapater
---------- Gabi/Celades ------------- D'Alessandro
--------------------------- Aimar
--------------- Oliveira ----------- D.Milito
They sold Gaby Milito for £12m to largely fund the team. For £13.7m they've bought Diogo (£3m), Gabi (Free), Ayala (£4m), D'allesandro (£2m), bought the rest of Diego Milito (£3.3m) and loaned Oliveira (£1.4m) with the option to buy (£7.1m). They may even make a few more reinforcements before the season starts.
If they have another good season like last year then they could be challenging for a top 4 finish, the UEFA Cup and Copa del Rey.
