-Not a waste through lack of application, but through injuries - Pato.
Obviously Ronaldo falls into that category as well, an injury free Ronaldo is the greatest player of all time imo.... Ravel. Pogba. Don't need to go over it again but he had generational talent that was never truly fulfilled. Cantona retiring early. |

Ravel.
Pogba to a degree, won a World Cup and some domestic trophies, made a shit load of cash and won't think he wasted anything when he's done for good. But had the ability to be an absolute great if he could've been arsed. Will be completely forgotten about apart from popping up in a few youtube highlight reels and 'Top 10 footballer drug cheats' videos in a few years. |

Remember you can have a love for football but you also want to make money and enjoy your life. He is doing go. He is still associated with Manchester United, a “celebrity”, rich, young, healthy…. Picking up a little bag in Korea for 2 years is nothing to look down on. Not everyone is gonna be the best or perfect. He hasn’t wasted his talent at all. He has used it and made a decent name for himself. At youth level he was no better than those a before him like chris eagles or slyvan Ebanks Blake… but he has played for England, played in world cups, score in club cup finals and 15-20m up! He has done very very well for himself. |

I think he could have achieved more with a bit more focus, but he certainly has done well for himself financially, has scored important goals including in cup finals, and has a finger thing. Certainly doesn’t warrant appearing in this thread. |

I never even thought Lingard was any good and i used to be a big academy fan.
A player from United that i thought would have at least have a good premiership career was this lad called David Jones. Left footed box to box midfielder. Used to float around the championship but as reserve level i thought he was unbelievable while keeping thjngs simple. A player who did better than he should given he had next to no talent was macheda. Didn’t do much but even that was more than his talent deserved.! He was bullshit! Quote:
The crazy thing is how you know can’t even mimick him a little but and just be even half decent from the left. |
