I think it was Memphis Depay.

He's doing well in Lyon, but he could have done better cry

Mario Balloteli ( this one is the most painful because at a time, we all believed he was on his way to become the first black skin footballer to win the ballon d or and all fifa awards but his arrogance and life style off the field of play broke our hearts. at a time Mario balloteli was even one the most famous celebrity on earth but like i said, he allowed fame got into his head and today, no club wants to sign him.

Oscar wasn't that of a great player but he could have been better, imagine if he had gone to Juventus back in 2016 or any big team in Europe, he would be regarded better. He's fading away, he doesn't get selected for national matches anymore.

I don't really blame him, he was simply too young when all that fame and fortune came for him.

And now that he's 28 no club would want to sign him cry

It wasn't his fault, Oscar himself said it was because of his poor background. China league was the only place that was offering the amount of money he needed to help his family.

Marco Reus.

A fit and injury free Reus is one of the most dangerous weapon on earth.

He would have given Messi and Ronaldo a run for their money.

A phenomenal player.

rosicky; I feel for him!

but Hleb, no feelings for him, he looked at the Greener grass on the other side... he dreamt of benching "xavi or iniesta"!

I love Wenger the more for not signing him and fabregas again!

his reasons; "they would halt the progress of his young talent" QED!
