Sometimes a player leaves a club on a Bosman. And sometimes they stay on a Bogarde.
Worst PL players "stealing a living"?
- Thread starter Theafonis
- Start date
Boyata at City was another.
Remember him making his debut at City when he was a teenager in 2009 or something.
Assumed he left City and then he come on for them at Spurs in May 2015.
13 appearences in 6 years at Man. City although he did have a couple of years out on loan.

I'm not knee jerking based on tonight but perhaps Mariappa can be thrown into the mix. Relegated with two clubs from the Premier League previously I believe (A modern day Hermann Hreidarsson) He was quick to have a go at other players tonight but his defending was shambolic at times.
Go ahead, attack my opinion. But he is a shit player and nothing is going to change that, the administration thinks he deserves that much and they are foolish to have offered him that much. No wonder we have so many average players with the standard going down in the team. I can't do anything if you didn't understand what I said.
Great, let's pay 100k to all the average players we have just because they work hard. Fellaini deserves 200k a week, Darmian also deserves 100k a week as he works hard in defence, let's pay Blind 150k a week to sit on the bench. Lingard scores goals and works hard, so let's sign more average players like him and make Manchester United great again.
(Ps- you too are an idiot)
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Lingard is a world-beater (far from it) or that he will have a long-term Utd career but I just think he is better than people give him credit for - he just needs more consistent output. The goal last night against Watford was sensational - everyone would be falling over themselves had Ronaldo/Messi scored that!
Rooney, truly a dreadful player these days, you would think he was 38/39
Bet you thought you were really clever with this one.
Most of the West Ham team.
At the time it was true and at times it was true last year. But good for Wayne today, especially at Goodison against Moyes.
Yeah. I'll always be happy to see him do well, but against moyes just makes it funny.
In the immediate post Pulis era, Rondon scored a goal tonight - unfortunately for him it was an own goal.
Joseph Hart, giving away soft goals almost every game.
Is this the same Rooney who just scored a hatrick and probably the goal of the season? .....nice timing

That's the first thing I thought too
Point still stands though
Don’t know about stealing a living but there has been some utter dross this season.
Lovren
Lindelof
Cleverley
Williams

£3mio a year and still hasn't scored a goal for them after 22 matches. The last time he scored a goal was for WBA on 27th Feb 2016
What a player! We really missed a trick missing out on him and getting the absolutely prolific Ballotelli instead.
Oh, wait.
He might come good though, that's normally what's said about shitty English Forwards ain't it. We'll all still be saying it about Walcott when he's a pundit on MOTD.
This season?
The guy believes the world is flat.
Granit Xhaka
Baba Rahman was linked with a move in the papers today.
Can't believe he's still at Chelsea. They signed him for 23m.

What's happened to Davy Klaassen? Was meant to be pretty highly rated but seems to have vanished
Alex Iwobi, I think this is not a too controversial opinion.
Who cares what Falcao and Bastian did for other clubs?
I only care what they did for us and the pair of them were dreadful.
If ever anybody could be said to stealing a living a footballer, it would be Falcao and Bastian, when they were with us.
They were both once great players, who declined at a relatively young age, which is when they arrived in the EPL.
'Stealing a living' suggests to me that the player in question didn't give a shit. I wouldn't say that about Falcao.
There was talk about Basti, though...

Xhaka has to be up there. How on earth was he £35m?
He just scored.
Glenn Murray. Quite literally.
Andy Carroll.
Alexis Sanchez. Never scored a goal or even played a game for us. Highway robbery.
The one who said Lingard, I think he saw that
How can a young player who is passing through a difficult season this year all be it with a questionable attitude recently be stealing a living?.
Well if you can openly breach club discipline and still be first choice yet you aint a Henry level player.....
Agreed. Just read the article on that.
Stuart Taylor.
Not a single a minute, yet 48 millions and counting...
Can't believe he is still playing.
Drinkwater, Schlupp
Richard Wright was employed by City for 6 years and never played one game.
Andy Carroll, Callum Chambers and Saido Berahino all spring to mind
