Who have been the biggest wasters in football. C#nts who sign for big money and big wages, play muck, sit on the bench and won't transfer because of a pay-cut so just sit on the bench and don't give a fcuk ;
Dwight Yorke
Winston Bogarde
Stan Collymore
Robbie Fowler
Steve McManaman
Harry Kewell
Mark Bosnich
Mark Viduka
Ole Gunner Solkskjaer
Nicholas Anelka
any more ?
Ah i wouldn't put solksjear in that list. When he wasn't injured he was fairly regular and put in a good auld effort every time.Quote:

Were spurs not close to signing him on the same wage as he was on at Man U at one stage? I think he gave a desire to win trophys as his reason for not taking them up.
Lee ratboy Bowyer
Harry Kewell
Actually it was a pay rise with Spurs, and he turned it down because he was happy at United. Whilst he mightn't have been first choice he got plenty of games. If Robbie Keane doesn't demand a transfer in the summer, surely he'll make the list?Quote:

Franny Jeffers & Junichi Inamoto for me - will they ever get a game for anyone on a regualr basis!!
Bosko Balaban - played four games I think - 2 million pounds a game!!!
Rio Ferdinand.......got paid in full while serving his 8 month drugs ban
and now has the neck to look for 120k a week.
Whilst I agree that he's a dick over the current negogiations, he was still training and could've left on a free if we'd not paid him. Suppose Chelsea's Mutu case will set the new precedent for this....Quote:

When McGrath was at Villa, on his last contract, he was on a pay per play (£4000) basis.
When we played Holland at Anfield in 95 it was not an 'official' UEFA date, believe it or not. So when Jack invoked the five day rule before games, Villa did not have to pay McGrath for being on international duty.
McGrath could have turned out for Villa on the Saturday and then Ireland on the Wednesday but chose not to, and forfeited his paycheck.
But I take your point about wasted talent. He did go 'missing' for the odd game. Fortunately he got his act together and returned to 'star' at USA94.
I read about him the other day. Apparently he couldnt even score in training.Quote:

Patrick Blondeau - Sheffield Wednesday (Signed by wonder manager David Pleat and supposed to be the greatest defender ever. First appearance: Blackburn 7 Owls 2 - the rest as they say is history).
Gerald Sibon - Sheffield Wednesday. Laziest player I've even seen but saw him turning out in the CL recently :eek: for some Dutch team.
Orlando Trustful - Sheffield Wednesday - another one of Pleat's wonderful signinging. Disappeared up his own backside I think.
Sigh :(
Another pretty obvious one, Raphael Sheidt of Celtic - not so sure of spelling.
Steve McManaman + 2 X Champions league medals. Wasted career?
