+1 there are so many.

Add Diego Ribas to the list, he came was such high hopes. In fact I would say Teun is the closest to Diego. Elite player before joining, High fee, high expectations, what a sad ending
You could argue Diego was a bigger disappointment because he was one of the best players in Europe at the time while poop is nowhere near that.

I said it before, to me Diego is an interesting case because he was truly talented and at his prime. I feel like this was a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time as he didn’t seem to fit Ferrara’s style.

That team was also pretty over the hill. Too many players in their early/mid 30s. Definitely wrong place at the wrong time.

I read something interesting yesterday.
On his first year when Modric signed for RM it was 2012, Spanish Marca proclaimed him worse signing of the year. From next season rest is a history.
Maybe there is still hope for some of our flops.

proper coaching would certainly help. koop was very good at atalanta. not 55m good, but 30+m good at least

Yes, "worst signing of the year". The voting was closed in December. Modric had tough 2-3 months when he joined Real, where he was mostly benched. But from the second part of the season, he became irreplaceable.
Koop is going from bad to worse, and it's March.

True i mean the levels we are talking about here...

Modric instantly recognised how big Real Madrid on arrival and felt, not knew. But felt what anything but a win means there. He acknowledged quickly how he struggled at first to adapt. He then worked hard to gain a place under mourinho. Infact mourinho deserves credit.

Modric on Mourinho: “He taught me how to play more aggressively. He always tries to get more than the best out of every player. If you give 100% he asks for 110%. If you don't play to the best of your ability, someone will come and take your place.”

It was a bad time when he arrived, he wasn't the only one criticised as they were in poor form at the start.

Now let's compare.

Teun doesn't recognise how big we are, we look like the forgotten giants. The fans and everyone around the club are not putting enough pressure on him, because Motta always had something positive to stay and still put him on.

Now teun is acknowledging him form but isn't taking any self-responsibility.

These were his words a few months ago.

"We controlled the game, we scored a great goal.... We have to take responsibility. Me included, I have to do better. There are many things that we do well, but we don’t do them for the whole 90 minutes. We have a lot to learn, the quality is there, we can all play in this team"

That's not how champions speak. It's "we" before the "I", when shit goes wrong he needs to focus more on the "I"
