Re: Players Who Never Quite Reached Their Potentiala debatable one, simply because he is arguably the best striker of all time, though without the injuries the he would be the best outright(Original post by rorydaredking)
Best shout on the page is definitely brazillian Ronaldo, epic player, but could have been better. -

Re: Players Who Never Quite Reached Their Potentialsmith was converted to a DMF to replace roy kean by fergie, which he was pretty good at but he suffered a nastly leg break and discolated ankle and so didn't play for most of 3 years before moving to newcastle where he kept getting further injuries (think he broke the other ankle there)
so no wonder he's faded -

Re: Players Who Never Quite Reached Their PotentialFreddy Adu.(Original post by hbk4894)
which Footballers have you seen that you think have got potential but have never quite reached their potential
i think Mark Davies has got quite good potential , he could be a good premier league midfielder but Coyle doesnt play him often enough
Made his MLS debut at 14, was training with the USA team at 15, and was touted as the next big thing in world football.
Moved to Europe, failed to get first team football, got loaned out, failed to perform, and is now playing in the lower leagues of a nothing nation in Europe. -

And lol at people saying players who are early 20's like Nani and Walcott... FFS, they're still young, years from their anticipated peak, give them a chance.Exactly what I'm thinking. Of course young players haven't reached their potential yet. Anyone who has played Football Manager or career mode on Fifa knows that!(Original post by The Dynamic Uno)
He's only been at Liverpool since January and is still only 22.
As for my list:
Kieron Dyer
Shawn Wright-Phillips
Owen (I know he was good but he could have been better for longer)
Steve Harper!
