John Oshea, Wes Brown, Lou Saha, Eric Djemba Djemba, Federico Macheda, Philipp Bardsley, Nicky Butt, Kieran Richardson, Quinton Fortune, Zoran Tosic


:lol:

Saha for sure though. He was one of the best CF when fit, had everything in his locker. Shame he was very injury prone. Was a beast of a player and with him in the side ManUtd played their best football in the last 7-8 years with Saha as focal point of the team.

Didn't Bayern sell Hummels because they had Breno whom they rated much higher?


Yep..:lol:



Players who I saw live as kids who were BEASTS and are wasted talents...

Mourad Meghni
Florent Sinama Pongolle
Maxi Lopez

especially meghni...kid's technique was ridiculous as a 16/17 year old.


Aimar and particularly D'Alessandro never got to the heights of their abilities. Aimar was a fucking GOD at River Plate in the late 90s. Straight up GOD. Him and Riquelme were neck and neck destroying the league...those were the days when clausura/apertura was so damned good...

Adriano, Ronaldo and Dinho are also wasted talents. At least Ronaldo had injuries to blame. Dinho really fucked up his career..could've been one of the greatest ever.

Ohh...and 2 of my favorite attacking mids, djalminha and juan carlos valeron....extremely talented players who never got to the heights.

Not only did Ronaldo and Ronny play absolute world class football in their primes, they also achieved and won most/all major club/country and individual titles. Something you can't say about Adri.

Adriano. The guy that made me interista, I was a little kid back in 2005 when he was bossing and my milanista bro was telling me how beast that guy is, wasnt watching football regularly back then but everyone was jizzing on their pants when they hear Adriano and his left foot. Such a shame how quick it all ended, he is a free agent now at 31, and sadly, he is the only one to blame.

oh wow, didn't realized that he sunk that far. He looked like such a great player when at Leece and even early into his Viola career.

I was about to reply to that guy who said John O'Shea before I realised it was dyna.

I'm sorry, but I never appreciated Keane. He did score goals. I give him that. But overall he's a bad player.

How is (was) he a bad player? His job was to score, and he scored. Basically Pazzini plus actual workrate and far more competent on the ball.

All the times I watched him, He played bad. at Inter, Tottenham, Liverpool, ..

Not meaning as failing in scoring, but meaning as playing bad (His Tottenham stats are great for a player with the limited qualities of him)

Just my personal opinion. Don't pull it that bad.

Inter were a level too high for him I guess. Alot of people in Ireland don;t like him actually but I never saw why, I guess he doesn't really do anything that well just seems to be a big player for Ireland and Spurs.

id say myself lol... without going to real details: at age of 8 i was offered to go to turkey on trial for galatas youth, parents thought it would be waste of time lol, at 11 i was offered to go to trial for malmo in sweden, again - parents thought it was a waste of time and money.

i remember when i was 13, one on one with the goalkeeper, the dude jumped on the ball with his back and got my leg under...it poped like a bitch lol :D

from what i remember people used to praise my vision and creativity... but vision most...
