All I remember hearing was he was this incredible player, and how we should have signed, how we should sign him....every window following his move. Yet everytime I watched him play he would do practically nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 SHA thread just reminded me of Jordy Claise. Bit similar to Holtby as I remember in summer 2015 Isa (who was a good poster before he either got banned or just disappeared) was incandescent with rage we weren't competing with Southampton to sign him as he was going to rip up the premier league apparently. Wasn't he being called the new Xavi around that time?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Didn't he score a couple past us? Delap left Stoke in I think 2013, played a season at Burton Albion and now is a coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Emre Mor is a similar case. Was getting hyped up massively at Dortmund 18 months back, now warming the bench at Celta Vigo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarpie Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) On 6/12/2017 at 22:24, VillaChris said: Mikael Forssell. I believe he's still playing in Finland and still only mid 30s. Was desperate for us to sign him that one year he was on fire at SHA as I think he'd have been fantastic with Angel but he did his knee soon after and was never really the same force again. One of the biggest "what if" stories in finnish football, he had a very good potential but never (got to) fullfil it. Could've been our best attacking player after Litmanen.
