Well it wasn't going to be Wayne f*cking Rooney, was it?!

Someone posted this on facebook and I can't figure it out. Here you go

Football riddle courtesy of a work colleague:
1) A has never won a league title, but has won 2 European competitions with club B and 2 international competitions with his country.
2) A started in club B as a professional player but was sold to club C before returning to club B after one year.
3) Club C is one of the oldest clubs in the country where it is based but is currently not in the top division of that country.
4) Player A then went onto Club D for one year and then Club E, his current club. D and E have qualified for the champion's league in each year A was there.
5) Player A’s combined transfer fees in his career are close to €50m.
6) Player A has over 70 international appearances for his country.
Name A, B, C, D & E

This has been doing my head in. I think it might be Cazorla, by they'd be counting the intertoto cup as a "European competition" which frankly is balls.

B would be Villareal. C would be Recreativo (which I had to Google). D Malaga E Arsenal.

To add insult to injury, they must have counted Intertoto twice. But I think you have the correct answer. :oyea:
