Yah, Quaresma is a class above in Turkey. But doesn't he have trouble performing at big games? Which probably led to bigger teams not being interested I'd imagine.

They diagnosed him as having a weak heart and said he couldn't play football anymore.
Same thing happened to another brilliant Spanish defender whose name I forget now. He was at Sevilla or somewhere.
What a shame!

I'll bring another one:
Thomas Kristensen (Current club: FCK)
The central midfielder went from Lyngby to Nordsjælland in the winter transfer window of the 04/05 season, a transfer window, where Nordsjælland signed unknown players with good potential (Heath Pearce being their other signing). He worked his way up the ranks, from the bench to being a regular starter, and slowly became one of the most profilic central mids in the league, as he could score and set up goals, as well as a good work rate. The question was when he'd leave FCN for something bigger, and 3-4 months after his first match on the national team, a start against Czech Republic, where he set up the only Danish goal, he was sold to FCK. At FCK, things started going downhill. He started out in the lineup, but he never quite reached what he had shown in Nordsjælland and was slowly sent down the ranks until now, where he's on the bench, far away from playing time. the number 16 for two of the FCK clubs had what it took to make it well beyond the Danish league, but when going to the big club, he just didn't show why he was signed, and looked an average midfielder.

I remember Quaresma ages ago in the Champions League and he looked fantastic, don't know what happened to him now though cos I don't want the Turkish League.

Wayne Rooney.
Supposed to be the white Pele and a contender for England's best ever striker. He's shown in recent times that he's little more than above average.

No but seriously, if he was a Roonynski (
) he'd be rated shite and shite by English people and media. Just because he is English, Rooney is this "amazing world class player".

David Prutton was tipped for big things, now he plays for Swindon and looks like Jesus.
Nathan Dyer was tipped to be England's next Danny Wallace, he's at Swansea.
I'll keep thinking of more.

Rooney is a great player, you cannot deny that.
Its just whenver he hits purple patch the media will start comparing him to Messi.

Michael Owen? Could've been one of the best english players imo

Rooney is a great player I would guess, but I never thought he had anything about him to be labeled a world class player.
Unlike someone like Michael Owen(^thanks Hereford_lad) whom IMO could've been one of the greatest poachers.
Or someone like Carroll, whom actually has the potential to be one of the top Targetmans of this generation. I rate both of them higher than Rooney in potential.

OOH Does anyone remember the abuse me, Mauro and I think Chiboy got for calling Rooney overrated at the start of the season?

rooney very overrated but come on, even though i dont like him he is much more talented and will always be superior to andy carrol
such a player technical skill is the most overrated of any player in the world. i do not know why, but some reason every english pundit saying carool is "very good with his feet" but why when i watch he has the touch of a rapist and takes 3 touches to manipulate a ball that even rooney would only need 1 or 2 touches
price tag of carroll to me is completely irrelevant, my opinion would not change if he was still even in newcastle
to me his hype would of been like saying these things about luca toni who is diabolical when the ball is at his feet yet he is no worse and probably much better then carroll. if carroll even manages to have carreer as good as big headed toni then he should thank himself as he would of done very well for himself
watching carrol x braga was just to funny, no one even bothered giving him ball to his feet they know he will lose it lol at the end of the day, carroll is no better technically then the likes of heskey, he is not even better technically then crouch. some may say, like phil thompson or jamie redknapp, that he does not need to have a flair or whatever, maybe so, but he should also be expected to be culpabale and be at acceptable level with his technique with feet that he can utilize his touches in such a fashion that drogba or llorente can. even crouch. i have seen no evidence that he is capable of any of this besides 1 goal for newcastle which was a pure fluke

Freddy Adu, was tipped to be a star when he was about 15. Went to Benfica but doesn't feature iirc. Didn't he get sent out on loan somewhere random?
Owen to an extent, considering how well he started people would have expected him to do much better. Liverpool, Madrid and United isn't exactly bad though.
Stan Collymore, brilliant talent, didn't have the consistency though.
Fowler could have won a whole lot more than he did.
To a lesser extent people like SWP
