Another strange one was Mal Donaghy who didnt score for us in 4 years - about 90 matches. But after signing for Chelsea at the age of 35 he suddenly scored 3 goals in the space of 14 days, and then never scored again in the next almost 2.5 seasons before he retired.

Luka Modric - Here was a player who many would consider top class, couldn't half hit a ball too.

569 appearances with only 61 goals, barely ever getting above the 6 per season mark.
Hold on a second.

People in the Pogba thread are telling us you're only good if you score 20 goals a season every year :confused:

This makes me wonder how Scholes never came close to winning any major individual honours. Scholes could do everything Modric can do plus he was a far more prolific goalscorer.

Modric being the standout player for his country in a world cup year is probably the main reason for his ballon d'Or. That and everyone being sick of Ronaldo and Messi winning it.

Luke Shaw has only scored once for us, he must have 150 games played at least.

Jozy Altidore at Sunderland and Hull City, his goalscoring record was awful. across both teams he played 70 games a striker and scored 5 goals.

Joao Moutinho has only got 56 goals in 701 games, including a 0 goals 0 assists (league) season in AVB's treble winning Porto side.
