He has not played has he ? and when he has played or was playing regularly little to no negativity was attributed to his performances for us. Point is he lost his place to TAA and Klopp prefers atracking fullbacks, thats not the players fault.

What the fuck ?, Arbeola never played at his best ? Its because he was good that Real Madrid wanted him, and as for Grujic, he hardly played for us, in some cases because of CL qualifying needs young kids like him cannot be risked for the first team. I would like to see at least 5 to 6 full games given to him to judge if he is gonna be a total dissapointment.
It doesn't matter what the reason is. To be very good in your early twenties and then irrelevant during what should be your prime is disappointing - whether it's down to injury, lack of opportunity or secret suspensions.
Had Arbeloa been disappointing for us, he never would have gotten a chance with Real.
He was excellent for Liverpool.
What a rant!! He was rubbish though. That Carsley goal was abysmal.
I looked at his wiki to make sure his signing was within the last 20 years, he barely made it.
I'd be open to dropping Joe Allen for Naby.
The game against Messi !
Clyne is in my team for two reasons mainly:
1. There weren't many other right backs that I had high hopes for and subsequently failed to live up to them
2. He started so promisingly, but his career has fizzled out to the point where people forget he even exists.
He should have achieved more. And for that reason he's a big disappointment.

If Grujic was up to it he would be playing, or at least be in the match day squad
And yes Arbeola played well for us, but he saved his best football for Real...
Like I said he played well for us, But played better for Real and that why I listed him as disappointing
Well i can understand the secret suspensions being a dissapointment, but the other two, you are being a bit too unfair.
Likewise, had Clyne been disappointing for us he would never have got his dream 6 months at Bournemouth
Karius
Clyne
Lovren
Sakho
Moreno
Aquilani
Keita
Luis Alberto
Babel
Benteke
Gonzalez
Babel was "ok" for us, but I was expecting so so much more.
Alberto I suppose more retrospective, as for Lazio he's been a revelation
Honourable mentions to the much hyped youth products who never cut the mustard for us. Yesil, nemeth, pacheco, suso

Doni
Degen
Coates
Sakho
Moreno
Downing
Aquilani
Allen
Jovanovic
Balotelli
Benteke
These are all players I had fairly high-high expectactions of.
Jovanovic because of his goal scoring record at Anderletch & youtube vids.
Doni because he was a regular at Roma, still only 31 and was a Brazilian national.
Balotelli because he was capable of doing extroadinary things.
Benteke was 1 of the best strikers in the league at the time.
Sakho was the captain of PSG and France's #1 CB
Aquiliani just looked the part.
& Allen was branded the Welsh Xavi

Impossible to tell what's parody here
I mean Aquilani "looked the part" if the part was an in-bred Romany sex pest who lived in a caravan near a beach in Sardinia
Kewell should be in everyone's team. I thought we were signing one of the very best players in the league.
We were.
He was just broken. For a couple of years at Leeds, he was easily one of the best players in the league
No mention of “Le Gems”.
Even the fucking mention of it riled me - there was us thinking we’d got some diamond and instead we picked up some shite from Ratners.
Le Tellec & Pongolle.
We’ve had some whoppers - Assadi - he just disappeared.
I remember when we were trying to convince ourselves that Jermaine Pennant was a player.
Stewie Downing.... hahahahaha
Milan Baros was going to be better than Michael Owen.
Who was that French winger we signed that won the World Cup - then played one game in like 2 years.

Good, hope your brain gets scrambled trying to figure it out.
Bernard Diomede.
Houllier's use of a single agent for all those shit French signings reeks of something very bad.
That’s the man.
Good all Wash N’Gog is still kicking around some dodgy Lithuanian league as well.
You had high expectations of Degen? I had him down as utter gash long before we suffered a brainfart and signed him.
Ditto Voronin who hasn't had nearly enough mentions in this thread (I always knew he was rubbish but there were a few who talked him up based on his "partnership" with Shevchenko).
Yeh I remember him looking classy in the CL with Basel & then went on to become Switzerland's #1 RB/WB
Then again he did have a twin didn't he so maybe thinking of the wrong Degen.
Me Too
This is a completely personal list, there were some players (like Markovic and Alberto) who I expected to be shit based on nothing at all
Karius
Ziege Sakho Coates Moreno
Aquilani Keita Şahin
Kewell Keane Cisse
Tough choice between Keane and Benteke but pretty sure I had higher expectations from Keane, Benteke was just a weird signing
Thought Diouf was a bargain after that world cup but Cisse was a bigger disappointment still
Probably an unpopular opinion but I remember Voronin tearing it up in pre-season, I honestly thought he looked better than Torres. Was even prepared to excuse the ponytail. Then proper games started and he was fucking shit
With Balotelli, it was always going to end badly. Remember when Ryan called him our biggest signing ever? Quality
