Tomas Brolin
A foreign player who played in the PL who should never have
- Thread starter simplyared
- Start date
Veron
Shevchenko. Ruined his reputation and legacy moving to Chelsea. An icon made to look a huge failure.
Schweinsteiger. Ended up in the PL reserves.
Di Maria
Pogba. Should have gone to Madrid in 2016. Would be viewed very differently right now.
Diego Forlan
A certain highly rated, goal scoring dutch midfielder from Ajax.
I'm talking about Davy Klaassen, obviously.

Ole. Wouldn't have scored that goal which means the last 3 years wouldn't have happened
I know for a fact he wouldn't say that himself, he can't stop speaking highly of SAF, what a big club we are, the fans, training with Giggs, Scholes, Cristiano, etc.
He loved every minute of it, regardless of where he hit his best form.
Yeah, he would be warming the bench for Modric and Kroos instead of Fred.
Van de Beek
Büttner.
Sergio fecking Aguero.

For that goal I'd forgive him another 3 and then some. It just brings shear joy.

Jozy Altidore. Should have stayed a flat track bully. Though, in fairness, his managers in the Premier League often mis-used him by leaving him isolated.
Marko Marin. Should have stayed in Germany longer to keep progressing. Many of the Chelsea loan army could have this attributed to them, though.
Diego Forlan. His career may have been more illustrious without the mediocre stint in England holding him back.
Adrian Mutu. Obvious reasons.

I don't even know what happened there. After his move to Crystal Palace (nobody understood why he went there) everything went downhill for him.

Juan Sebastian Veron without a shred of doubt, one of the best midfielders of that era that was truly an awful fit for Premier League.

Forlan still highly praised in SouthAmerica and Spain though, which i believe it's all he cares, as he isn't british.
Fabian Barthez.
What an awful goalkeeper he was for us overall. His positioning was consistently atrocious.

Pascal Cygan.

Zhirkov moving to Chelsea. He was a really good attacking fullback at that time, but at Chelsea he was never going to replace Cole, didn't fit their tactics well and it just seemed a pointless move that they didn't need fuelled by the Abramovich connection.
I seem to remember he started scoring and then just disappeared
Majority of our South American players. Most notably Falcao, Kleberson and Veron
