Halilovic is only 20, how can he be included here?

A similar thing happened to Bojan Krkić who looked like he was going to eat the world at the age of just 15.  Another from Barcelona that I swore at the time was the Israeli Gai Assulin who for me was the next Messi.

How can he not? It's my thread, he literally fits me criteria xD Expensive transfer to Barcelona, didn't break through sold/loaned to other teams and hasn't been heard of since.

For me, it has to be Dale Jennings. Remember him? Went to Bayern Munich and was placed in their second team with the hope of developing further after impressing at at Tranmere.

Jennings looked like a real talent. It didn't work out. Came back to England and that hasn't worked out either. He's been a free agent now since the summer.

The damage was already done when he moved to Charlton, he came through the Everton Academy and jumped ship as soon as Arsenal showed interest, 22 games and only 4 goals later and he was sold to begin his sorry tour of the world.

He was the term Wenger first used "Fox In The Box" with. I also thought he was gonna be a big time player and he just faded away. Arsenal ruined his confidence.

What happened to James Wilson of Man Utd? I remember he came on and scored an impressive brace and then...nothing!

Along those lines, Federico Macheda.

Although I always thought he got over-hyped because of two goals.

John Bostock. He was hyped up majorly and never got anywhere.

He's at QPR now xD 

 Re: Bostock, he's in France. He was one of Ligue 2 best players with Lens last year. Found his level.

If McEachran was from the continent and played on the continent he wouldn't be considered lazy. He suffered from being a technical player, English and Chelsea's only academy product that could get near the first team.

According to Wiki, been a free agent since leaving Villa after his contract ended in 2016.

Bizarre. Doesn't surprise me that he's the type to say I've got my millions I can't be arsed to have to graft anymore

Drenthe. What a cunt he was. Good impact player for us for half a season then he did something ridiculous like getting arrested or something but I can't remember what it was.

Juan Fernando Quintero. Was supposed to be as good as James. He's at Independiente Medellin now and is more focused on singing reggaeton than playing football. Them Colombians!

Drenthe is just one of a few players that have came here and the nightlife has taken hold of them. 

He was caught breaking into the training ground with some women and turning up to training stinking of ale.
