>Jovetic at Man City
>Costa to Chelsea
>>66941883
Jovetic was injury prone in serie A, should be a huge red flag to any PL club
Same with Aquilani
>>66941883
I was 100% sure Quaresma would get his act together and be a world class player. Oh well.
I was also 100% sure Tsunaldo would flop at United.
>>66941927
Was that the general opinion in Portugal when Ronaldo went to Man United?
>>66941883
>A player that you expected to be great who flopped
Gotze to Bayern
>A player that you expected to flop who was a great signing
Luis Suarez to Barcelona (thankfully)
>Shevchenko at Chelsea
>Sanchez at Arsenal
>>66942019
I wouldn't say Sanchez flopped or was a bad signing at Arsenal but great? I'm Not so sure
>>66942032
You can't argue with his first season, though. He should've won the Player of the Year over Hazard.
>>66942032
He's scored like 40 goals + 20 assists in 2 seasons. Pretty good

>implying I was ever wrong
>>66942573
Was Kaka(which means Poo in serbian heh) Ronaldinho tier good at that time or?????
>>66942240
Ronaldinho was very good in his first 2 seasons at Milan. Not at his peak sure, but hardly a flop.
>>66942240
>Sinclair to City
everyone knew where that was heading
>>66942519
You're a retard.
If a player never plays he is automatically labelled shit. You think if Messi or Ronaldo got injured at the same rate as Wilshere they would be considered goat? No hell no.
Lemme guess you think Diaby is a world class player right? (which is he if he was fit but hes not)
>>66942395
Why is Ibra a flop?
So what went wrong with Ronaldinho?
I was a kid uninterested in football when he was at his peak.
I remember he was the GOAT for a couple seasons in Barcelona and then suddenly went to shit.
Was it drugs?
>>66942687
I think it was drugs, hookers, food, no longer giving a fuck
>tiredofthislife.jpg
>>66942687
He won the Champions League in 2006 and this was the last thing he had yet to win. After winning everything there is to win he just lost all competitive drive and pretty much became a hobbyist playing professional football. His raw talent was enough to make him good enough to still perform very well and his decline is often overstated (people are sometimes acting like he had a Falcao tier collapse) but it was nothing compared to what he was in 03-06

Soldado. Amazing the amount of players who dominated La Liga and flopped hard in the EPL.
>A player that you expected to flop who was a great signing
Aubameyang at Dortmund. He was the literal definition of a pacebabby at ASSE. He improve considerably in Germany.
>>66942195
m8 Lamela is great this season.
>>66943389
Most people who watched football knew Torres was a shadow of his former self before the transfer even went through because of injuries, stop trying to seem smarter than you are champ
>>66943389
Torres was already crocked when he went to Chelsea, a lot of people weren't expecting him to be great
>>66942098

>>66943426
OK here is one that hits home
Altidore to Sunderland
Thought he was strong enough to handle the PL but you know what happened
I'm still thinking that Martial will be world class BRETTY SOON.
Only time will tell

>>66943890
>A player that you expected to be great who flopped
>Ozil
>A player that you expected to flop who was a great signing
>Sanchez
eh? considering they both cost more or less the same, Ozil is undoubtedly the better player and way more important for Arsenal than Sanchez, thus the better signing
>>66944701
not sure if serious
sanchez is an elite, world class player who is similar to neymar, robben, muller, suarez, bale etc. in ability
ozil is a clever, neat and tidy player, but not elite bracket footballer. he's similar to the likes of mata, cazorla, bojan, eriksen, gotze in ability
both worth having in your squad, but sanchez wins games by himself, ozil does not. sanchez can drag his teams through to wins, ozil cannot. when the chips are down sanchez can peform, ozil cannot.
>>66944947
Sanchez is not nearly as good as Neymar, Robben, Muller, Suarez or Bale.
I'd only consider taking him over Robben because he's old and injured all the time
>>66942240
>Baloteli to anywhere
stop
>>66944947
tbf i consider both of them as flops. Arsenal were doing as well ( or as bad) before they signed Ozil and Sanchez. Having both should have been enough to win the title, but clearly they couldn't make a difference
>>66941883
>>>A player that you expected to be great who flopped

Expected to flop: 2 big ones here, Kane at spurs, for some reason weird reason I saw one of the games he played for leicster and I thought he was horrific, why the fuck would anyone want him. And Suarez for >us, thought why the fuck would we want someone from the dutch league, a really poor league currently and has a long ban for biting. My dad watched a couple of Ajax games suarez played in and told me he would be GOAT but I didn't believe him. admittedly he told me fucking downing was a good signing but i still fucked up

Holy shit dude ozil is a tier above sanchez. ozil hasn't had a bad game this season, now he's interested he's godmode. his workrate, technique vision and range of passing is absolutely godlike. sanchez is inconsistent and not turned up for most of this season
I expected to Torres to do great at Chelsea as well. That shit was hillarious tho. Oh the memories...
I expected Neymar to flop at Barcelona. Not that i thought he wasn't a very talented player, but because he was famous for throwing tantrums, staying up late partying. But kudos to him, he matured really well and has developped amazingly.
>>66951406
>ozil hasn't had a bad game this season
false
>>66951604
yeah I was jumping on the ozil internet defence force bandwagon, but he's undoubtedly been arsenals most consistent player this season
I thought capping Sterling so young was a waste and that he'd never be an England level player and he should have played for the country of his birth, Jamaica. But I seriously overestimated how good England is and now Sterling fits in nicely.
>>66941933
Quaresma was pointed to become a much better footballer than Ronaldo back in those days. That's why Barcelona signed him instead of Ronaldo. But the guys is nothing but a lazy idiot. And he knows it.
But no, pretty much Ronaldo going to united was the right choice. He was definitely reaching his potential there under saf. At least that was what i thought back then.
A lot of shitposting in this thread tbqh.

Da fuck you're talking about? Quaresma was just older and did a very good season, Ronaldo came latter but he absolutely destroyed everyone in every game he played.

shitposting: the thread
Surprising flops:
>Cuadrado to Chelsea
He was everything Willian wasnt, who just seemed to be a black Navas
>Mitrovic to Newcastle
Was pretty dank at Anderlecht, thought he'd save them from relegation at least
>Mata to United
Thought he'd rediscover his form he lost getting benched by Mourinho, looked elite, almost Silva level before that.
>Kramaric to Leicester
Looked great and had an incredible record before the transfer, completely failed at Leicester after rejecting bigger clubs to play more
>Gotze to Bayern
Legit looked like the next big young star along with at the time Neymar, Hazard and co., but still has time to make an impact
>Lamela to Spurs
See above, had big shoes to fill after Bales incredible season and never lived up to it
>Kondogbia to anywhere after he left Seville
After him and Pogba starred up youth level for France it was a safe bet he'd go on to great things
Surprising success:
>De Bruyne to City
Didn't think he'd be any better than Silva, thought he was overrated at Wolfsburg
>Naymar to Barca
Thought the pass to Messi system would stifle him and kill his potential like it did to Sanchez
>Dybala and Morata to Juventus
Come on, who thought they'd end up among the best young attackers in Europe in the space of a year
>Martial to United
Thought he was just a French Welbeck, another mediocre strong fast striker with zero technical ability and a mediocre scoring record in France.
