Players Who Suddenly Turned Shit

[Arkle]

Dele Alli

If you look at Alli's record, he's basically had one superb season (16/17) and the rest have been of a fairly similar standard.

Jesse Lingard has gone from playing regularly for England in the world cup to barely playing for his club side and doing very little when he does play in a very short spell of time.

 

[Urraca]

Harry Kewell

Injuries. Like so many on this list. Was good when he could play but that stopped being regular.

 

[kamaras-tash]

David Bentley maybe? was highly rated at Blackburn moved to Tottenham then retired before 30

 

[Mackemed]

Mezut Ozil - clear winner

I disagree here - I think his has been a gradual decline.

 

[SAFCOldie]

Schniederlin !

 

[rubberface]

Michu

Bless you.

 

[Scorer]

Bowyer, Chapman, Harford, Stubbs. All brilliant elsewhere, utter shit here.

Torres went from unplayable to a complete shadow of himself the second he moved to Chelsea. He was only 26 too.

65 goals in 102 games at Liverpool and then 20 in 110 for Chelsea.

He never recovered post Chelsea. In the 12 seasons from leaving Liverpool he only hit double figures in one of those seasons. Pre-Chelsea he had hit double figures 8 times out of 9 top flight seasons in Spain and England.

Practically everyone who has signed for us within the past 10 years.

The exceptions are few and far between.

Best post

I remember wondering whether ex-Villa youth Yago Bellon might go on to do special things but it hasn't really materialised yet

Borini (tin hat on) played his best football when on loan for us trying to prove he was good enough for Liverpool when it became obvious he wasn't his level of performance drop right off

He was pretty shit tbf before and after he came here and didn’t do a lot while here. Majority of his goals were penalties.

tin hat moment. Ryan Shawcross

[Comeback_Kenwyne]

Torres
Falcao

Many of these can be explained by injuries, but Torres is one of the great mysteries.

Darren Bent
