Falls from Grace (football edition)

Won two serie A titles between the clubs, Cup Winners Cup, Super Cup, two Coppa Italias and scored 37 goals for his country.

What a waster...

Didn’t he go from being one of the hottest properties in football to warming the bench and struggling to score goals?

Probably wrong but I thought I remembered him struggling massively for a few years at the end of his career.

Was injury prone at Juventus if I remember correctly. Didn't play as much as he would have liked.

Used to absolutely love Salas. The buzz when I thought we were signing him.

Represented England at every youth level and looked shit hot at WBA for a while but took them refusing Spurs' advances REALLY badly.. resulting in a 2.5 year goal drought, signing for Stoke, relegation and numerous off-field issues including depression, drug and drink driving offences.

Recently captained Burundi to group stage elimination at the 2019 AfCON. Currently training with S.V. Zulte Waregem in Belgium whilst his Stoke contract gets terminated.
