What players looked like a sure flop and ended up being really good?

antonio valencia

Pogba. He will win at least 3 golden balls.

James

He was almost sold to Hamburg for like 5 million back in '08 because everyone thought he was shit and Spurs literally lost every single game he played

>>76510531
She's really ugly

Matic

He was already really good at Spuds, he didn't look like a flop

But is he really a success for Madrid though?

Two great seasons( first season and 2015/2016 season)

One horrible season(second season) and last season he was good but turned shit after the injury.

>>76510976
Marca voted him as the worst transfer buy of the year his first season tho

>>76511088
He didn't turn out to be Ronaldo's successor, or some along those lines, but he's still an elite player

>>76511104
something*

>Marca

>>76510265
James is probably the biggest flop of all times

>80 million
>doesn't even make it to the bench

>>76511103
>marca
>>76511088

Wasn't fit to polish Arbeloa's boots
Now he's better than he ever was.

>But is he really a success for Madrid though?

I'm talking about Bale's time at Spurs, not Madrid. When Bale first arrived at Tottenham he looked like a flop but he ended up being arguably their best player for 3 consecutive years.

>>76511974
I fucking hate Barney Ronay
>DUDE REALLY LONG METAPHORS LMAO, LOOK HOW WITTY I AM

>>76510155
Drogdab

>>76510531
he was pure class before he joined Real and I do think people generally expected him to do well.

Imo it's an understatement and he's one of their most important players

>>76511974
Oh please, like you don't look like a fat lesbian

>>76510531
Who's he?

Does he work at Gringott's Bank?

>>76512059
it would be ok if he was going somewhere with them, if he was using them to illustrate any sort of point
but of course he isn't

>>76511103
More like Caca lmao

>>76512192
Yeah, he was good but when he was bought most people thought that he was just going to end up as a benchwarmer for Ozil, not as one of the best midfielders in the world and a starter for three CL winning teams.

>>76512192
Him, Kroos and Casemiro have been arguably Madrid's most important player because 15 years after selling Makelele Perez finally learned the importance of midfielders that aren't just le flashy backheel men

>>76512003
who is the polish arbeloa?
is it piszczek?

>>76510155
everyone and I mean every faggot on sp though suarez was gonna flop his first year in barcelona, sure proved sp wrong

>>76512232
>>76512059
Ronay has fuck all analysis

Like yeah the flowery writing is okay but it needs to be in service of an overall point

>>76512339
Mild kek

>>76512343
Nobody thought that, people only doubted Suarez because of his behaviour

>>76512375
bro there was constant threads of "suarez flop" during and after the siging, wasnt until he fucked madrid up in his first classico then everyone in sp shut the fuck up

>>76512362

maybe take football less seriously

>>76511940
The Spaghetti slayer still hasn't delivered a good performance in finals, instead he is the bane of bologna, which isn't quite a feat.

>>76512403
That's just people meming. No one with a brain in between their ears thought Suarez would flop. He arguably had the best individual EPL season ever right before the move, and he did it while playing with liquid garbage. He left to play with Messi and Nerman: he was always going to excel.
