Stephen Ireland.... Looked class at city before.... Well, whatever happened to him.
Those are just numbers but he was never truly accepted. When he first came to Bayern van Gaal said "Gomez is not my transfer", in the 2010WC he got to start the first game against Australia but was subbed off at half time and Klose was chosen ahead of him from that time on. In 2011/12 Bayern were supposedly trying very hard to sign Dzeko and it was around that time they supposedly also first contacted Lewandowski. At EURO12 he was subbed off for Klose at half time against Italy. Around that time Hoeneß publicly said something like "he's a good striker but not a very good one"Scored 39 in 45, then 41 in 51 games for Munich in 2010-12. Then disappeared without a trace. I think that can be considered a 'fall', don't you think so?

I meant as in not mentioned yet in the thread.what?
What do u even mean by everyone else forgot?
Those 3 player were amazing for a number of years
This is not a bad shout. They guy had a brilliant career with Chelsea, I remember he seemed to always score against us. After the move to Rangers he completely lost it.Now this is a list of players everyone has forgot
Tore Andre Flo
He's a complete nutjob isn't he?Stephen Ireland.... Looked class at city before.... Well, whatever happened to him.
SAF said he wouldn't play a position. But it is true JSV kept getting injured and therfore not getting a decent run of games. The swap of Stam for Blanc didn't help anything around that time, apart from guarantee there would probably be goals at one end or the other.Veron looked like a masterstroke, god knows what happened (injuries perhaps)
What. The. feck??Now this is a list of players everyone has forgot
Bixente Lizarazu
Stefen Effenberg
David Trezequet
Fair enoughWhat. The. feck??
Lizarazu was a starter for Bayern deep into his thirties. Afaik he's a legend to the fans and went down in the history as one of the club's all time greats.
Effenberg even was Bayern's captain until his mid thirties. If you ask people in Germany (across clubs) who was the biggest leader in the past 15-20 years they will probably name him right after Ballack.
If memory serves me right Trezeguet was a starter for Juventus with a good goal scoring record past his 30th birthday until a knee injury fecked him.
He was amazing at Everton though.Our own Andrei Kanchelskis, was amazing got sold yo Everton under mention of mob pressure and dropped like a stone....
The guy was a genius on the pitch. His rainbow flick pass in the oppositions area is breath taking.He's retired now but a bit of a **** hero of mine from the late nineties to early noughties and that man is Djalminha once of Deportivo la Coruna.
Lightening quick, and in my opinion blessed with better skills and dribbling ability than Ronaldinho. His set pieces (pens and direct fk) were ruthless, deadly accurate, and fecking awesome. He was somewhat of a late bloomer but was destined to go to the 2002 world cup to jizz his skills in front of the planet before punching the Deportivo manager in a training ground bust up. A hefty ban and a number of loan outs to Austrian and Mexican sides effectively ended the troublesome genius' career..Which is a damn fecking shame!
Before my parents got sky in when I was younger I used to get my mate to tape a lot of the footy matches on his sky which is where he first caught my eye. When he was on song he was fecking frightening!
I remember he was always highly rated on Pro Evo and I never got why, I remember his stepovers goal but nothing else about his career. Think he's still in jail for rape.Mancini. I think he was about 27 or 28 when he joined Inter, but he completely disappeared after that.
Im not sure any of them were ever regarded as being very very good players in the first instance.Danny Cadamarteri
Noel Whelan
Darren Caskey
Darius Vassell
Michael Ricketts
Francis Jeffers
3 England internationals, one England international youth captain who was regarded as a better prospect than both Nick Barmby and Sol Campbell, and two young strikers who were very much considered the 'next big thing' in the mid-90s.Im not sure any of them were ever regarded as being very very good players in the first instance.
most random shout in this thread but that is pretty bizarreMaybe never at that high of a level but what about Collins John? From scoring 11 goals in the Prem with Fulham in 2005/06 to falling down to the Championship to the Netherlands, Belgium, MLS, Azerbaijan, Iran, League Two, Poland, and most recently being released by a third division side in the USA. Has scored 10 goals since that season. Still just 28 years old.
Why I said Francis Jeffers as well. Signed by Arsenal for £8m in 2001, at a time when they were challenging us for the title of best side in the country, and touted as a Lineker like 'fox in the box'. Won two F.A. Cups with them, made his England debut at the same time as Rooney, and actually scored.most random shout in this thread but that is pretty bizarre
I remember this guy well. He went to Austria Wien and I was scared shitless of him when the move was announced (I'm a Rapid Wien guy myself), but was reliefed when he turned into a flop. Pretty much never showed the glimpses of genius he was capable of in spain.He's retired now but a bit of a **** hero of mine from the late nineties to early noughties and that man is Djalminha once of Deportivo la Coruna.
Djalminha was absolute quality, so charismatic to watch.He's retired now but a bit of a **** hero of mine from the late nineties to early noughties and that man is Djalminha once of Deportivo la Coruna.

Zup zup say nadaNo I don't. I think Wenger fecked up big style by not buying a world-class player and stopping you getting one. Double whammy reversed.
When you get injured and yet you're rushed back and constantly played because the only other options are Voronin or N'Gog then it's gonna take it's toll.To be honest I remember Torres being shit in his last two seasons at Liverpool as well. He just went complete dogshite. Never regained his initial form.
