Fair enough.
SWP has been shit everywhere, he's in.
Robinho was good in Brazil, average everywhere else, he's in.
Van Der Vaart is a good shout, though some will argue he did well in both Holland and Germany.
Ryan Babel is a better shout.
Vincent Kompany is another one, talked up as a wunderkid for ages but never really got going anywhere yet.
Jermaine Pennant is another one, just walked into various clubs on the back of his 'failed potential' ticket, another wunderkid.
Cassano has already been mentioned.
I think Chiellini probably deserves a mention as well.
I think there's a case to be made for Robbie Fowler once he left us the first time, he travelled for years and never fulfilled that promise again. Carlos Alberto was a wunderkid at Porto when they won the Champions League, he just vanished off the radar completely.
Simao is a big one for me, so much potential but such a journeyman.
Miguel is another, top right back for Portugal.
Patrick Vieira anyone? Top of his game, best in the World when he left Arsenal age 28/29 and I was wondering just how much better he could get, but was such a journeyman at both Juventus and Inter.
Milan Baros. 38 goals in 78 games for the Czechs so far, his class is there for all to see, top scorer at Euro 2004...odd one.
Maniche. Was amazing in 2003/04/05, then just faded completely.
Diego Tristan. So good, then so bad.
Gaizka Mendieta. See Maniche.
Joaquin. Wunderkid, talent, but nothing to show for it.
Vicente. See Joaquin.
Juan Roman Riquelme. Amazing, should have won everything several times in Europe.
Ivan De La Pena. As above.
Diego is in danger of doing the same thing, has he left Juventus
