Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I see Nick Powell has ended up back in league 2 with Stockport before he turned 30, would I be right in saying he was linked here a couple of times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was actually a decent player based on how he did at Feyenoord. Maybe just not particularly suited to the pace of English football.

One season in the Premier League 11 years ago where he got 12 in 34, which is a very decent return, but did literally nothing at the top level before or since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never realised he had such a good season in the PL! Always seemed like a decent championship striker to me. Also I've just seen Adam is actually his middle name. His first name?

AvfcRigo82 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Julian Draxler. I remember when we were rumoured to be sniffing around him in the MON era when he was 17/18 and had not long broke into the Shalke first team. Hard to believe this guy is still only 30 and plays in the Saudi League with Al Ahli these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Felipe Anderson ripping up Serie A. Record buy for West Ham. Was sensational for a season poor for a season and strangely let go for about £3.45 all in all very weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 15, 2023 Author Share Posted October 15, 2023 Pascal Chimbonda. Wore gloves all season around and had a great year for Wigan in mid 2000s. Seems he's remained in North West since retiring as just been named manager of Skelmersdale United! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
