I like this game
 Postiga? Very highly regarded in Portugal and had two good seasons at Porto...then it sort of went downhill...fast. I know he's in the Portugal side mind...so he might have been better since. |

Consigning players who are still performing at the top level and winning trophies to the list as well as 22 year olds (Canales) and even players even younger?! Fuck me |

Canales is still young, and he's been out for almost a year with one/two bad injuries. It was only a couple of months ago he started playing again.

Again might be more of a media one rather than a true wasted talent but Agbonlahor? Another who looked good at 21-22...and never kicked on.

My list
1. Diego Armando Maradona – surely the best player in the world ever if only he stayed away from drugs 2. George Best – read above 3. Gazza – read above 4. Adriano – read above 5. Di Canio – he had the natural talent to go toe to toe with Robby Baggio. Unfortunately he was simply too mad to make it at a big side 6. Kluivert – a fantastic talent who would have had a great career at OT. Unfortunately he chose to go to Barcelona (who were more like today’s Real then today’s Barca) who ruined him 7. Owen – he had a great career with Liverpool but I often wonder what the kid would have achieved if he went to United. Under SAF responsible guidance he wouldn’t have suffered the burnout he had at Liverpool and would definitely not retired at 33 8. Edmundo - read Di Canio 9. Freddy Adu – At age 13 he was a phenomenon. Ive seen him play against Italy U17 and he literally humiliated them. Unfortunately his mother preferred to keep him in the US rather then join United. The rest is history 10. Denilson –His dribbling was Ronaldesque. It’s a shame that he moved to Spain at such a young age |

People like Adu come to mind (In fairness, he's still young despite being known for yonks, yet the path he's on it looks like he'll go down as something along those lines unless he has a massive turn around), not players that were once the greatest on the planet and winning champion's leagues and league trophies. Seriously, answer me properly, how is Ronaldinho a wasted talent? World class at Barcelona, went to Milan and despite what some claim, actually was brilliant for a decent part of his time there and then returned to Brazil and has been bloody good there. Some people are mental on here. |

How about that Kerlon kid from Cruzeiro? Was he actually a great talent or was all the fuzz about his freaking "seal trick"? I see he's ended up in the Japanese giants Fujieda MYFC.
