Wtf Raul Meireles actually won PFA fans player of the year?
Luke Garbutt. 26. Still at Everton. On his 6th loan move since 2011. I think this might be the one that gets him some first team football with us. He is developing well.
David Johnson former Ipswich and Forest striker. Richard Keys infamously called him “Choco Jocko” when he was linked to play for Scotland.
Pogba
Yep, bizarre isn't it, he had a very good month where he scored 5 in 7, including a worldy one time edge of the box volley. So he was voted for the monthly award. Only players awarded the monthly award can win the year award. There were plenty of players who could lay claims to it, like Nasri who won it 3 or 4 times, and a few others, but him being a liverpool fan they all piled in on the vote.
Anyone any idea what actually happened to Martin, I know he plays for Exeter now, as I came across him playing FIFA20, but what happened in his game/life that saw him drop so fast? He was this blinding talent back in the day scoring and assisting. I know he went out on loan, but he just disappeared? Lackof effort/desire? Home life? Injuries?

Gutted. Before that? Seems to be off the radar.

I really want to know what that Michael Johnson fella who was at City is doing now. There is absolutely nothing about him on the internet since he retired at the age of 24.
Became an estate agent. Had issues with drink which meant he lost interest in football.
BTW is it true Omar Naisse is still an Everton player?!
Been out of favour numerous times there (although always seems to get another chance when there's a change of manager). Everton signed him four and a half years ago.Became an estate agent. Had issues with drink which meant he lost interest in football.

Posted above about another player that you'd forget was still an Everton player. We have loads of players that clubs just will not buy. We have publicly tried to flog Niasse and people still won't buy him.
Niasse, Besic, Martina, Garbutt, Sandro, Bolasie. All of them are still Everton players.Tiago
Played for Benfica, Chelsea, Lyon (while they were still dominant in France), Juventus and Atletico Madrid.
66 caps for a very good Portugal generation. Quite a remarkable career for such a forgettable player.
Just retired in 2017, but it feels like 15 years ago at least, had totally forgotten about him until I saw him in an old clip.

Yeah we had Bolasie on loan but had enough of paying his 80k a week wages! Think he went to Anderlecht but that was last season so no idea what he's been up to so far this season.
Thought Besic had gone to Sheffield full time. Seen Sandro play a bit in Spain for the clubs you've sent him on loan to and his confidence is shot infront of goal (if he was ever that good in the first place). Thought Cuco Martina was rubbish at Southampton bar that amazing goal he scored v Arsenal so no idea why you signed him.
Nadir Belhadj, formerly of Portsmouth. Still playing in Qatar, actually. I liked him, he was quite skilful, had good pace and could get up and down the line.
What makes you think he was a nutcase? Apart from his infamous farewell to Jogi Löw I have never heard much odd stuff about him other than he thought more of himself than most of his coaches .
I could name others of his generation that better fit that description..?!
I was looking at Saviola yesterday and noticed he finished joint top goal scorer in La Liga on his debut season at the age of 19 with 17 goals for Barcelona. What is the reason he never went on to become a great player ?
Timo Hilderbrand. Thought he was brilliant up and coming keeper at Stuttgart (Kuyrani mentions made me look up that team) and Germany number one once Kahn retired.
Move to Valencia really seemed to stall his career. Came back to play in Bundesliga but looks that status. Could've been him instead of Neuer at 2010 and 2014 world cups (as could've been Robert Enke of course).

All of them.
From the Brazil thread: Cicinho
Genuinely forgot all about him until that thread.

Really underappreciated player, also scored a screamer from 30 yards at old Trafford, Mourinho reaction was hilarious.
Who remembers Mauricio Tarrico ?
Not me!
But do you Miguel Guzman, who played left back and occasionally DM for Valencia back in the day? Was good enough to get 20+ caps for Argentina when they had a very good team.
No, you probably don't remember him. Because I made him up! The photo above is of Francisco Rufete, who you also don't remember.

Okay, but I looked him up and I actually do remember him!
What about Kerlon - the Brazilian whose trademark was the ‘seal dribble’ just looked him up and he completely fell off the radar barely playing 100 matches in his career.
I remember Rufete at Valencia was great on PESBut do you Miguel Guzman, who played left back and occasionally DM for Valencia back in the day? Was good enough to get 20+ caps for Argentina when they had a very good team.

Rufete also was at Malaga when they had loads of cool players, Dely Valdes and Dario Silva upfront (
) and Kiki Musampa on the other flank.Cicinho bloody hell. I thought he was going to be a massive star. He had a shocker against Arsenal much to my
Friends amusement as I had bigged him up before the game

Just remembered Samed Yesil who signed for Liverpool from Leverkusen. Apparently now playing in the Turkish 3rd division and only 25 years old
Aldo Duscher. The guy who broke Beckham's metatarsal when playing in the CL for Deportivo at OT.
Was public enemy no1 in the UK for weeks as he was suspected to miss the WC. He was linked with moves to the Prem afterwards.
