Always bought the guy but he never improved.

Good player, just gets no respect from dagos because he plays in Leafland
>he plays in Leafland

Robinho?
Maxwell
Afonso
Hulk
Mauro Zárate
now a forward in Boca Juniors at like 30 years old, the dude was part of the u-20 WC winning roster with the likes of messi and sergio-kun
playing in a small, shit team that sold him to an arabian team and other shenanigans, he's literally a failed good player prospect
now all he does is hoof the ball and try to drible and blooters
>Sebastian Deisler
>Marko Marin
>René Adler
>me
What a meme answer. You're right that he peaked years ago but he's hardly a "failed prospect". Something like Philipp Prosenik or Raphael Holzhauser would be a better answers in my opinion
omg this guy played for my local team
he wasn't great, no
Asensio

Better that how some of your guys deal with depression
Went to Barcelona where Guardiola saw a useful squad player in him, but got injured and missed almost a whole season. Guardiola left and Vilanova (and later Martino) didn't want him. However, his injuries and move to Barcelona turned Afellay into a person who was frustrated with his injuries and looked down on having to play for Olympiacos because he believed his abilites were higher than that because Barcelona signed him.
Now he's been a free agent since March and still nobody who's interested in him. I think he's either going to sign with PSV, which won't be a big contract because of his age, injury proneness and current ability, or he's going to retire.
>me
based
I remember him being on Barca but then he fell off the face of the earth
Probably Mustafa Amini

Schürrle

Everytime
>assists a winner in a WC final
Yeah what a loser
Gregory van der Weil went from WC final to MLS, what happened to him?
>ynr marco van ginkel
who I believe is still contracted to chelsea actually
from what I saw in MLS,
>can't defend worth shit
>career is based on speed and attacking ability
>starts to lose his speed
>also has a shitty attitude
I didn't follow his career but I'm guessing it was explodingkneesitis
people assume that he declined just because ribbery declined and their link up died, he's still one of bayern best players
>being some Austrian Negro
>Get signed by Bayern
>Be in the circle of Players with the most play time in Bayern
>failed
He rather did literally not fail.
>Memepiss Depay>he is doing decent

Joel Campbell
Yohann Gourcuff
Stéphane Dalmat
Ibrahim Ba
Among others
And that's just from the last few years. We'll probably have a shorter list naming the young prospects who didn't flop abroad.
Also, you forgot Royston Drenthe, who went to Real Madrid along with Marcelo.
do some austrians/swiss get slovenia flags on Yea Forums?
They are two little countries next to each other with a common past.
They know about each other.
You now remember Sotiris Ninis
Adam Matthews
Darcy Blake
Lewin Nyatanga
Diego Buonanotte, used to be compared to Messi when young
Had a car accident where he was driving and all the people in the car died but him and he wasn't the same player/person after that
Compare him with Filip Uremović
>nobody expected him to be a great player
>debuts for Slaven Belupo
>made only 10 app in the HNL
>CSKA discovers him
>is playing now every match in the russian league
>plays now
Also Daniel Montenegro
Luis Gil
>was supposed to be a big talent but waited too long to move out of the MLS, probably still in Mexico
Brek Shea
>moved to Stoke, never recovered
Junior Flores
>signed with Dortmund and never came of anything
Gideon Zelalem
>only hyped because he came through Arsenal's academy, now in MLS
can we all agree that GKs who wear short sleeves are fucking shit?
I knew he's doing well in Chile but fucking hell I didn't know about that crash
