i never thought SWP did THAT badly at chelsea...

ok he clearly wasnt as good as the other players in the side... but he wasnt exactly a disaster and didnt come with that much hype around did he?

winston bogarde? he went to chelsea as a respected international fullback didnt he?

By the time he arrived at Chelsea, he'd been shuffled on by Milan after just 3 games before horrifying Barça fans for two seasons. Madrid fans enjoyed it though.

Freddy Adu, Bojan, Gio Dos Santos

Sully Muntari also. I just dont really rate him at all.

Another is Yoann Gourcuff - there have been many heirs to Zidane but i thought this guy was the true heir.

I was even suckered into tipping him to be the star of the 2010 world cup - How wrong was i?

Massive disappointment.

Fernando Torres. He's lived off two seasons for Liverpool.

Rosicky.

Wonderful player, but hasn't had the chance to show it because of injuries.

Barry did well for Villa tho

Gigi Lentini Milan smashed the transfer record for him and he was pony...granted his car/bike crash didn't help but still

On the contrary, I thought that he did come with a lot of hype to be honest. He was tearing apart teams for City and arrived at the champions Chelsea for a big fee and a huge platform for him to light up. The fact remains is that he only did OK (as you rightly pointed out) when many thought he would be the next big thing. That's why he gets my vote but we all have different opinions

Regarding Diaby he just got very unlucky. He had a bad injury at a young age and never fully got over over it mentally an physically. Out of the 3/4 appearances he makes per season he still shows great ability in onw and is poor in the rest.
