    For players who promised so much but never realised their true potential for whatever reason.

    Made in the light of yet another Abou Diaby injury.
    Dan Smith, three fucking games for Sunderland and player a part in ruining a career.

    Others such as David Bentley at home in this thread though. Generally turning to crap and accepted reason for a mention in here.

    All this does is bring back memories of those players in FM games that were godlike a few seasons in. Carlos Vela anyone?

    I'm not sure what would have happened if we kept Vince Carter and TMac. TMac would still have been injury prone and Carter would still be too undersized to play the 3. Would ahve set us up nicely to attract some decent free agents though.

    We would have gone close to having one of the best backcourts if we picked up a decent PG. Both players more then adequate off the dribble and insanely good at creating distance between defenders

    GDS and Vela are cool.

    Vela scored something like 8 goals in a row for Arsenal which were all chips.

    And GDS did this

    Sorry if it wasn't clear this was about football/soccer. Thought I posted it in the relevant subbie (face)

    Edit : Here's Vela

    Even by then for me, most players were newgens

    @Julian-IMO Walcott never showed any technical prowess whatsoever. He was fast, and nothing else and still is. People just expected more because he was 16.

    Yugoslav/Serbia team of the 90s is pretty much the answer to any question like this.

    No doubt if they'd stayed together from then to the present there'd be at least 1 world cup and multiple euros.

    Oh and the obvious 1958 ManU team that must be mentioned.
