    Will Paul Pogba be making his Manchester United debut tomorrow at Bournemouth? For the second time of course. Nope, he won't because he is suspended.

    But he left for £1.5m in 2012, and comes back for £89m in 2016. What a difference four years makes.

    Can you think of other players who returned to clubs for considerably larger amounts than they left for?

    Alex Shcnopple: Away match hospitality for a photo shoot to be in paper, son throws up in car, suit ruined, charity shop only had a tight pink one.

    Jak: Work hard all pre-season, then sent off after eight minutes of the opening game. Even worse when you're the goalkeeper! 

  3. New season, new facespublished at 10:16 British Summer Time 13 August 2016

    Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Borussia Dortmund to Manchester United

    MkhitaryanImage source, Getty Images

    Age: 27 Cost: £26m (reported) Position: Attacking midfielder

    Career so far: Started in his homeland of Armenia with Pyunik, before spells with Metalurh and Shakhtar Donetsk. Joined Dortmund three years ago, scoring 23 goals in 88 Bundesliga appearances. Had a hand in 49 goals (23 goals, 26 assists) in 52 games for Dortmund last season.

    What type of player is he? Plays most of his football as an attacking midfielder, but can also play in a deeper midfield role, on the wing or just off a striker. An expert passer and finisher, as his stats for last season show.

    Will he cut it in the Premier League? Has all the characteristics needed to be one of the stars of the Premier League. However, a word of caution - the last Dortmund playmaker that United signed was Shinji Kagawa, who only lasted two years at Old Trafford.

    What has been said about him? "He is one of the most talented players in the world. He possesses an incredible combination of speed and technique. There's very, very few you can say that about," Jurgen Klopp in 2015.

    Age: 25 Cost: Reported £20m Position: Midfielder

    Career so far: Began his career with Bochum's reserve side before moving to Nurnberg in 2009 and on to Borussia Dortmund for a reported £3.4m in 2011. There, under manager Jurgen Klopp, he won the German league and cup double in 2012 and was a Champions League finalist in 2013. He has had injury problems since though and is currently recovering from a dislocated knee.

    What type of player is he? A deep-lying Germany midfielder with a Turkish background, Gundogan is admired for his close control, vision and passing range.

    Will he cut it in the Premier League? Gundogan has already proved he has the ability to compete at the highest level, both with Dortmund in the German top flight and with the national team.

    What has been said about him? City director of football Txiki Begiristain: "He is an intelligent and versatile midfielder who can operate in a number of different roles. He will be a very important player for us in the coming years."

    Loris Karius, Mainz to Liverpool

    Loris KariusImage source, Getty Images

    Age: 23 Cost: £4.7m Position: Goalkeeper

    Career so far: Made his Bundesliga debut with Mainz aged 19 and by the following season had become first-choice goalkeeper. Played every league game last season, saving two penalties and keeping nine clean sheets.

    What type of player is he? Describes himself as "a modern, offensive goalkeeper", who is "willing to take risks".

    Will he cut it in the Premier League? He cost almost exactly half the fee Liverpool paid for Simon Mignolet in 2013, but after a mixed three seasons at Anfield, Karius could well usurp his more experienced, more expensive rival once he returns from a broken hand suffered in pre-season.

    What has been said about him? Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "He has developed into a very good goalkeeper since his return to Germany. I know he will add to the quality we have in this position."

    Nampalys Mendy, Nice to Leicester

    MendyImage source, Getty Images

    This guy needs to fill N'Golo Kante boots. A BIG ask.

    Age: 24 Cost: £13m (reported) Position: Midfielder

    Career so far: Helped Monaco win promotion from Ligue 2 in 2012-13 under now Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri, but annoyed his manager by then leaving for Nice - where he spent three seasons before moving to the Foxes. Has only ever scored once in 201 games.

    What type of player is he? The fact he gets compared to Claude Makelele is a good clue that he's a defensive midfielder who likes tackles and simple passes.

    Will he cut it in the Premier League? From the scouting team who brought in N'Golo Kante from Ligue 1 a year ago, you have to back Leicester to know a potential Premier League midfielder when they see one.

    What has been said about him? "I do not understand his attitude. As soon as I saw him play, I said here is our Claude Makelele. I trusted him and I played him," Ranieri told L'Equipe when Mendy left Monaco in 2013.

    One of the bargains of the season?

    Age: 31 Cost: £1.5m (reported) Position: Goalkeeper

    Career so far: Won the French title with Marseille in 2010 and has been named Ligue 1 goalkeeper of the year four times, including each of the past two seasons.

    What type of player is he? An excellent goalkeeper as well as a leader of men. A great shot stopper, who is confident at dealing with crosses. Has saved three Ligue 1 penalties in the past three seasons.

    Will he cut it in the Premier League? Almost certainly, if he is Palace's number one ahead of Wayne Hennessey.

    What has been said about him? "He'd be France's number one if it wasn't for Hugo Lloris. You just have to look at his record to see he's a top keeper - he brings experience into that position as well," said Palace assistant boss Keith Millen.

    An action-packed pre-season for Crystal Palace, playing eight games in England and North America. Maybe it was manager Alan Pardew punishing them for losing the FA Cup final in May.

    Michy Batshuayi, Marseille to Chelsea

    BatshuayiImage source, Getty Images

    Age: 22 Cost: £33m (reported) Position: Striker

    Career so far: Was released by Anderlecht in 2007 for being too hard to handle. Two and a half seasons as a regular at Standard Liege got him a £4.5m move to Marseille in 2014. Was fourth top scorer in Ligue 1 last season with 17 goals, despite being back-up to Steven Fletcher at one stage, angering - among others - Basile Boli., external

    What type of player is he? A proper striker, who has pace and power, can finish well and is decent in the air despite his relative lack of height at 5ft 11in. 

    Will he cut it in the Premier League? Has all the qualities one looks for in a Premier League striker. Will surely get more of a chance than Chelsea's last Belgium striker, Romelu Lukaku, although if he does half as well as another signing from Marseille, Didier Drogba, then he will be a Blues hero.

    What has been said about him? "I think his move is absolutely brilliant. Michy is being rewarded for his great form and the work he has done out here and over the past season," said Belgium boss Marc Wilmots during Euro 2016.

    Andre Gray sure knows his way to the back of the net, bagging an impressive nine goals in pre-season.

    Can he keep that going for a Burnley side who have not really strengthened too much this summer?
