Players not reaching expectation

Charlie Nicholas.

Jake Caskey, played fir England at all youth levels, scored in 3 of 4 debut first team games, in which he was one of our best 3 players every game...had one tired game too far against a Premier team & was cast aside disrespectfully

You should work for the North Korean News Agency.

Michael Johnson, got into Man City team when he was young and was going to be a big star. Think he's still only 23 or 24 but his career has gone nowhere thanks to some injuries and bad lifestyle choices.

He is dating the daughter of a work colleague.

Richard Tiltman. Barry Lloyd claimed we wouldn't miss Dean Saunders after Barclays Bank forced his sale to Oxford for peanuts.

Super Tilts scored ONCE for the Albion after being signed from Sussex non league football. It was a great goal though, stunned those of us who saw it at Oakwell.

I give you.



Marco Gabbiadini.


Signed for a record fee by Palace as a replacement for Ian Wright, was described by the Palace head coach as "The most average footballer he's ever coached"

 

[rool]

Didn't Alan Mullery describe Darren Hughes as 'the best thing since sliced bread'?

 

[Bognor Bystander]

How about Diego Arismendi? Now back in Uruguay but at 21 was signed for £2.6 million (rising to 4.8 mil with add ons) by Stoke City and played for us, Barnsley and Huddersfield on loan before going back 'cos he was crap (and liked to party) !! allegedly

Kagawa (Manchester United)

This is a joke, presumably.

 

[JBizzle]

This is a joke, presumably.

You'd hope. Kagawa is first rate.

Freddie Eastwood. Lasted five minutes at Wolves, now back plying his turd at Southend.

 

[Philzo-93]

Kleberson
David Martot
Ryan Harley
Freddie Sears
Zavon Hines
Nani

 

[Frutos]

Yuri Sahin( Liverpool)

You mean the Nuri Sahin currently playing for Champions League semi-finalists Borussia Dortmund on loan from Champions League semi-finalists Real Madrid?

Yep, his career has gone right down the shitter.

Haven't read the other posts so may be repeating some but here's a few:

Freddie Sears. The future of West Ham.
Dean Bowditch.
Jake Robinson.
Liam Miller. (Celtic and Man Utd).
Fabian Delph. Good but not the quality talent people expected at this stage.
BOJAN.
Pato.
Connor Wickam but that's far too early.
Tesfaye Bramble.
Freddy Adu.
Lewis Buxton.
Macheda

You said it, Lopez & Orlandi were in Spain, Vicente was in the sick bay & Buckers was on the wing....dicker, Sparrow, Harley & Navarro all less talented at the time, all got 20 starts, none scored more than a paltry 2 and look at them now....

Dicker who was a regular in our promotion winning team? Navarro we was actually one of our best players in the second part of last season?

Bebe ?

Signed for United for £7.4 Million and was meant to be the next best thing. Has only played 2 games for United and is currently out on loan at Rio Ave in Portugal with 1 goal in 12 games - which as a forward is awful.

Bojan Krkic is a great shout - both were amazing on Football Manager a few years ago and were tipped to be big stars. Bojan is currently on loan from AS Roma at Milan with the not so good return of 3 goals in 18 games.

Pato isnt that bad - he has scored 51 goals in 117 games for AC Milan and moved to Corinthians in Brazil for £12 Million in January. Hes still a Brazil international too, called up for their game vs Chile 5 days ago.

I think eventually Neymar will be added to the list, hes a good footballer now, but he seems to care more about himself and how he looks than actually playing football.

On loan from Liverpool?

 

[Frutos]

On loan from Liverpool?

No, he was at Liverpool on loan from Real Madrid.

 

[Mr Smggles]

On loan from Liverpool?

From Liverpool? I thought he was on loan TO Liverpool from Madrid? I'm so confused.
