Players blighted by injury that could have been special?

[Paranoid Android]

Fernando Redondo. Was gutted as a kid when his knee went. Pure class.

 

[Geof]

Not that I knew the fellow, I was too young, but I saw this the other day. Bobby Smith ended Eric Caldow's career.

 

[Beech]

A Canadian who played for Engerland.

Both of his parents were English and emigrated there, so we gave him a pass, despite the accent.

 

[Stov]

Wanyama.

 

[Geof]

Wanyama.

At Montreal now, I recall.

 

[N5 Spur]

I thought Adam Lallana was going to be the perfect number 10, at the highest level. He understood the roles of a modern number 10 - intelligent but unfortunately, fragile (aren't we all...).

 

[B-0-Sspurs]

Willem korsten

Extremely elegant player to watch on his day. Pressed as good as anyone too under Klopp when he was fit.

Durrant

Seb Rozental

Gooners are nuts, Wilshere was never world-class even before his injuries. Talented no doubt, but they massively over-rated him.

Fabregas at the same age was a far greater talent and a much more rounded footballer with a far better attitude. Even without injuries i don't think Wilshere would have got to that level.

But which one was the biggest twat?

I dislike Fabregas MUCH more.... Wiltshire is just your average bell-end.

 

[r-u-s-x]

Brian Clough said he would have been best ever, shy retiring type was Brian so if he said it then likely to be true.

 

[Darnswim]

Bale. Not even joking. He would've been in the CR7/Messi class were it not for his injuries. He was that good.


Another shout goes to Pato. AC Milan doctors should be arrested for what they did to him...

 

[CollyQC]

Anderton, he would never have stayed at spurs for so long if he was fit.
I always liked watching Mehmet Scholl at Bayern, I think he could have been one of the greatest midfielders if he stayed fit

 

[Imperator]

Baggio's right knee went when he was 18 didn't play a year and a half, yet he managed to become the player he was. What if he never had an injury

 

[blackburn]

Bryan Robson, one of our best ever players despite several serious injuries

 

[Herclueless]

Bale. Not even joking. He would've been in the CR7/Messi class were it not for his injuries. He was that good.

What's the story here?

 

[White Van Jan]

Willem korsten

scored a couple of v good goals v ManU at the end of a season, both feet too, looked really shit hot. I remember that Leeds were really pissed off when Raincoat took him off them.

 

[Son Spurs]

Wanyama.

Easy to forget how good he was in 16/17. Really pushed Kante for being the best DM in the league that season and even outplayed him in some of our games against Chelsea.
