Vinnie2000:
*Javier Saviola
*Dominic Adiyiah
*Christantus Macaulay
*Florent Sinama Pongolle
*Ganzo
*Pato
*Pablo Aimar
*Alex Oxlade Chamberlain
*Renato Sanchez
*Bartholomew Ogbechie
*Bojan Krkic
*Dos Santos of Mexico
Etc

They are Young Super-Talented Players who we thought would win Ballon'dor and World cups
But they never lived up to Expectations. sad

WHICH YOUNG FOOTBALL STARS DISAPPOINTED YOU THE MOST?🤔

Mine is Pablo Aimar: The young midfielder off Valencia fc was too good
But I do not know what happened with him. undecided

In Nigeria, There was a Striker in our FIFA 2001 Under-17 World Cup.
He was better than Yakubu Aiyegbeni and Victor Agali then
But suddenly,he disappeared. embarassed

What's yours? smiley
little messi..stanley okoro grin

Adnan Januzaz or whatever and then Martin Ordegard. They never rose to their full potential.
As a Man Utd fan, that Januzaj own pain me eh. He was supposed to be the next Giggs. Had the talent but the mentality wasn't there.

There was this guy about 11-13 years ago or so, he was so good that people were predicting hell even do more than Messi.

I can't recall his country, seems they won a junior world cup that year. Dude was so good and hyoed

That was never his true age, so don’t put him in that category.



Who remembers Hatem Ben Arfa?!


Someone quote me with his photo

He later played for Newcastle

Pablo Aimer was not a failure
He won laliga with Valencia as one of their main players and also played for Argentina for a long time
Pablo Aimar is Messi's idol

How can you forget Karibe Ojigwe,the midfielder who won the under 17 world cup with the likes of Kanu,Wilson Oruma and co,and later sign up for a German team,Bayern Leverkusen,but injury knock him out for a long time and eventually his career couldn't blossom.that was the man behind Nigerians Japan 93 victory
I remember Karibi Ojigwe. smiley

I think he was one of the Boys Onigbinde invited for Japan/Korea 2002.

He was also part of the Bayer Leverkusen team that reached the UCL final in 2002. smiley

Januzaj was unfortunate to play under Loius Van gaal era. sad

If he played under Sir Alex Fergusson, he would have become a World class player. smiley

Some players are unfortunate to be brought into a team going through a Crisis period and it kills their career. undecided

Bathlomew ogbeche really disappointed us especially during the France 98 world cup... The guy was full of promising with unlimited skills... But all ended to nothing

Pablo Aimar remains my like to watch at anytime.

Argentina still has many more to prove to the world.

If you like, like it. If you like don't like it but I have said what I have seen
