Zatman Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Joe Lewis, highly rated young England keeper few years back think even linked with Villa at one stage under MON. plays for Aberdeen now, dont think he even got to Premier League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Anderson. Was looking through United's biggest transfers and came across him on the list. Apparently he played for United for 8 years and made 8 caps for Brazil, despite being exceptionally shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergie ruined him playing him central midfield....he was actually an energetic right winger at Porto. Renato Sanches is actually similar to what Anderson was at 18/19.

Renato Sanches is actually similar to what Anderson was at 18/19. its funny in Brazil that Gremio had 2 young and very talented attacking midfielders in Lucas and Anderson and both came to England about same time and both were turned into plodders in centre midfield and looked poor at times though Lucas has shown a bit better application be surprised if got 5 goals between them in English football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suddenly he turned into a very bad signing. Think he started at Scunthorpe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many have been the next big thing but very rarely happens thats true but I think more so in recent years they have been desperate for a bit of hope that any young player coming through gets overhyped. still produce good enough players but not greats of the level of 20 years ago last 15 years only really Neymar and Kaka have lived up to the hype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Pato would've been another if not for injuries. His first 3 years in Milan he was outstanding. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 That's what messed them up at World cup 2014 (other than Big Phil's old pals act). Likes of Anderson, Pato, Robinho and Diego all should've been at their peak but none of them made the squad for various reasons. All back in Brazilian football now by age of 30.

I did the same with Matt Jansen and always bought him if I was Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 Enzo Maresca. I remember him playing for West Brom when he was a similar age to Ferrarasi at about 18. Pretty sure Juventus signed him but he didn't play much and went to Sevilla where he had a very good career. Pretty sure he's still playing in Seria A.
