Defending is a lot worse than I remember
Tom Cleverley
Stephan El Shaawary randomly just popped into my head. He was highly rated at one point and then you just stopped hearing about him. Just googled, apparently he's at Roma and still only 24.
Gourcuff
I thought he was going to be the next big thing. Watched him play last year. He's still such a beautiful player to watch. Only 30 too.

Hes a good player, was supposed to be the next Zidane or something. Very talented indeed.
The kind of player who gives you great youtube compilations but didnt have the edge in the game to make it to the highest level. I dont watch many ligue 1 games but a couple of them and he can go 80 mins unnoticed and then pull a nice flick and an assist
Mike Smalling
Juan Pablo Angel
Pennant
Douglas, will move on from Lisbon or something. He played at Twente and got the Dutch nationality to play for our team. When he finally got his pasport LVG never used him, he moved to Russia and was never heard from again. Only 29 apparently.

Andy Johnson. Has fecked me over in Sporcle quizzes several times due to my inability to remember that he exists.
Camoranesi was an integral part of Juve 2003-2008 and also won a World Cup as a starter. Great and very underrated footballer.
Cameron Borthwick-Jackson. I had totally forgotten about him until I just just saw his player performance thread had been bumped.
Schnaiderline
Moving to Birmingham apparently.
David Bentley
Zoran Tosic & Rodrigo Possebon
Michu
Chris Eagles
Hahaha I remember when he turned up to Burnley training in a white Lamborghini with a personalised plate. The rest of the team rightfully tore him a new one.
Back in like 2006/07 I was on this other Man United forum where some guy had a very long detailed post on why Chris Eagles will be our next big player. His last sentence was "remember the name Chris Eagles".
Bit consider rubbly reecher than yow
No he didn't - we bought him in summer 2003.
Yossi Benayoun
I remember Man United had a midfielder who was very highly rated on here for a while but he suddenly disappeared from the first team. Spanish lad, Ander something?
Dong Fangzhuo
Surely you haven't forgotten about, after last year?
Bring him back. He can cross!
Royston Drenthe
You're right, how could I forget that 4-0 walloping!
Did you get the DVD?
Joel Campbell
no longer a footballer, he's retired and now he's a rapper
Ian Woan
I remember he scored some belters in the 90's for Forest then disappeared

Lindelöf and Herrera
Niko Kranjčar - he's probably doing football podcasts somewhere with Harry Redknapp and Peter Crouch.
Lee Chung Yong

Him and Stuart Holding were doing brilliantly for Bolton then both suffered bad ankle/leg breaks (one caused by our own Johnny Evans). Probably one of the few reasons why they became a solid premier league to now out of it.Lee Chung Yong

Lee was actually a really decent player. See some comps.
Robinho
Damien Duff
Arshavin
That player that used to slip all the time in the middle of Liverpool - does anyone remember his name?
