SO WHICH FOOTBALLER HAD A FAILED CAREER THAT MADE YOU SAD?

MINE IS: David Bentley of Tottenham hotspur during the 2008,2009 Harry Redknapp era. The Boy was a complete David Beckham photocopy!
He was handsome, was a number 7, could cross perfectly and was an expert Freekick taker! It really pained me his Career never Lit up!

Hleb, Aqulani, Vamelin, Rosisky, injury dealt with this players can remember all.

Chicharito

Dos Santos

Miroslav Stoch

Bebe

Marco Van Ginkel

Sani Emmanuel

Obertan

Federico Macheda

Oscar (Till today I am still wondering why that guy went to China at that young age)

Mikel Obi
Taye Taiwo
Neymar
Rashida-Rashford
Vwegba-Welbeck

Hatem Ben Arfa, former Newcastle player. Such a wizard but unfortunately his indiscipline ruined him

The Greatest Scams In Football History
https://www.footballorbit.com/greatest-scams-football-history/

there is a difference between underatted and wasted in the context like he was talented bt not serious with football...
some plauyers am seeing on comments like vela chicharito n even dos Santos are all underated but serious n not lucky with form
but u see the likes of neyma, cassano, quaresma, robinho, andriano n the worst is balotelli, dey were all talented bt not serious..
assuming dey all have same seriousness of cr7 n messi, dey for endup well....
quaresma n cr7 once came to camp nou for trials wen dey were young, barca choosed quaresma ahead of cr7 bcoz he was pure talent n it was barca during gaucho era
barca thought dey found ronaldinho replacement

Hleb was a Terrific player. He was called Shakira@the viewing centre i was watching football then due to twist and turns in playing. Aquilani wasn't dat talented.

Where is Alexandre Pato?

Millan Barros. And Julius aghaowa

RedMac:
Mikel Obi
Taye Taiwo
Neymar
Rashida-Rashford
Vwegba-Welbeck

Haba! Welbeck has had a decent career! He has done well for man u, Arsenal and brighton fc. He should have up to 60 EPL goals.

Amotolongbo:
Where is Alexandre Pato?

I swear down to Neymar ,asamoah Gyan and hulk should be in that list

Mine is Jay Jay Okocha. How this man no play for bayern, inter, ac milan, real madrid, barca, man utd, liverpool, etc still dey baffle me, but ended up at bolton.

Stanley okorp and crisantos maculey was over 40 when they played the under 17
Their career were never wasted

Okocha's wasn't dat bad. @least, he was prolific for the Super eagles! He just didn't play for Big clubs.

Bahamas95:
Oscar (Till today I am still wondering why that guy went to China at that young age)

He said he went for the money cos of his background.

Owen Hargreaves

ogmask:

Alright, I don't blame him. Making money is very important in life.

Thatedoboy98:
Owen Hargreaves

Man United fans in my area back then nicknamed him HAIRDRESSER



They said he was more interested in maintaining his curly hair than concentrating in his career.

Funny enough, Aghahowa whom you mentioned is Worse than these 2 players.

Dude was a Police cadet officer or so but claimed he was 20yrs of age in Mali and Japan/korea 2002.
Meaning small boy Micheal Owen then was older dan him!

Juan Mata....sometimes when I remember what happened to his promising career, I would love to curse Mourinho bus as an Inter Milan fan, I am in no place to curse Mourinho.

Abou Diabey
Pedro Leon

Brown Ideye

I dont think we should blame Mourihno. Agreed dat Mou was forcing him to be a strong tackling midfielder@chelsea and Man utd, when he was clearly an Attacking player. He could have left diz clubs and move back to La liga, instead of being a chronic bench warmer. Look@Rakitic and David Silva in Sevilla and Real sociedad currently. So Juan Mata did himself Hard! Blames is on him!

Please let us be objective here , he was Chelsea's best player in the 2 years he used there, had record assist in the season they won their first Europa league, then Mourinho came, without even giving him any chance, he shipped him to Man United against his will, that was the end of Mata we all loved. How would you sell the best player of a club you just signed for,Madness!!! Just madness!!!.

Go and check well, Mata did not play under Mourinho at Chelsea, he sold him before he began his tenure....please let us be objective here, because anytime I see Mata struggle at United, I see a guy that was a victim of circumstances and stupid ideology of Mourinho.

Jack Wilshere
Bojan Krkic
Arthur Melo
Abou Diaby
Theo Walcott
Denilson (Brazil)
Sebastian Giovinco
Paulo Dybala

I should not fail to include Ilukaku in my list for the spectacular waste of career at the moment.

No, Bro. Mourihno came to Chelsea in the summer of 2013 and sold Mata in January 2014. He did not like Mata's cool and soft playing style. Funny enough, Antonio Conte also did same to Cesc Fabregas for same reason. He later went for Drinkwater or Bagayoko i think! Mata should have moved back to La liga!

Alex song- Barca was not a good thing for that guy,now playing in a club in Djibouti , Stanley okoro lying of his age kill that one, young Messi where old pass messi with 8 years ,Alf-Inge Håland d father of haaland no thanks to wicked man u legend Roy Keane,KLEBERSON used 2002 world cup winner deceive Man u in 2003

Other honorable mention:
Robinlho(women and child abuse),Adriano(party),taiye taiwo,Mario Balotelli(stubbornness)Mario Goetze(injury),Federico Macheda,Antonio Cassano,owen hargreaves(injury) Luca Toni(injury),Maxi López,Adam Johnson(child abuse),Mido(stubbornness), Drinkwater,Shinji Kagawa and Mendy(Child abuse),Loris Karius(deadly mistake) etc and almost all nigerian under 17 world cup winners

Others to joint d lead,if care is not taking
Hazard(injury), Greenwood (girlfriend abuse),Gomes(injury)Matudi, and d worse of all Mr bean version in soccer and man utd greatness player ever Harry Maguire that one I don't whether na village pple or na him dey kill himself.

Yal, you are correct, he sold him 6 months after coming in siting tactical incompatibility, who sells the best player in a squad that just won an Europa league siting tactical incompatibility?

Fabregas case was different, he was going to the twilight of his career then and by the way he was afforded more game time than Mourinho did to Mata.....Mata was just starting his career, prime in his youth when "Mourinho" happened to him. Sometimes when some people are displaced suddenly from the top at their prime, that is just the end, not every one gets to see or recreate second chance.
