Players who were "the next big thing" but never did anything (much)

Gael Clichy

Theo Walcott. What a bag of shite he’s been this season.

:smiley: very poor side still came second in the league in a season where McGrath was voted player of the year in the EPL.

Didier Baptiste…

Arrived in Harchester amidst huge hype…

John Black looked a future England capatin til that imfamous FA Cup final :frowning:

Great stuff looking back. Used to love watching bits where they’re training and the actors are shocking.

They werent far off the mark really when you think about recent stories like Avram Grant and TerryBridgate

Billy O’Neill faded badly after a promising first season. Probably too small to dominate midfield. John Black was a solid, uncompromising central defender. A real leader. He was a terrible loss.

To be honest I don’t think that many of those players really made much of an impact. I wouldn’t rate Sneidjer, Van Der Vaart or Zlatan highly, the former two in comparison to other Dutch players over the years, like Seedorf, Davids, Ron De Boer, Overmars, Bergkamp etc.

Chivu is a decent defender though.

:clap:

0 goals in 8 World Cup Finals matches.

Have you changed your mind on Van der Vaart?

great shout

Farmer shockingly exposed here. :lol:

Farmers girlfriend has not only changed his personality but also his opinion on Van der Vaart.

Whats next Oasis?

I really think Farmer has to comment on this.

What can I say?

I changed my mind. Unlike me.

its shows you are not intransigent & are constantly reviewing your views- this is a positive thing

Only a fool does not self analyse Farmer. THe bullheaded pig ignorant refuse to change course even when heading for the iceberg. I applaud this. :clap:

:lol:

Scan is part of Joyces management team, hup!
