LDN Blue 7,903 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 He's not behaving well, but he has hardly been a "flop".To be honest, I hold reservations about my "worst" list. Our own history has taught us to be better than that and allow some players time. Balotelli will come good for City. Though, since his signing he's failed to show it. I still remember that game vs Everton where he basically sulked for the whole game till he was finally taken off as a sub. Then there's the infamous red card in their Europa League match which cost them that game (to an extent). Off-field troubles have not helped either, like bust ups at the training ground and reported problems with Mancini. It's only based on his attitude, that I've put him there to be honest. But he's only 20. Plenty of time to change that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pity because he's at a young age, he has a lot of talent in him to go and score goals. I suppose he's learning his trade. He's got enough years to prove that. Whether it'd be Citeh or somewhere else in the future.Balotelli had some nasty parting words he gave to Inter before he joined City I seem to remember.

Tomo 21,751 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Van Der Vart is only good when the team is built around him, the Spuds team is build perfectly to his strengths.He also has a piss poor attitude you only have to look at him storming down the tunnel like he lost his dummy against West Ham to see that, in our team he would flop IMO.

Henrique 9,133 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Chicharito is United's new Solskjaer. Worst - CarrollBought for a lot of money, overrated, and yet they make him look world class just because of his "two" goals. One of them was clearly an own goal, have no idea how it even counted as his goal.If you had writen "one" I would believe you were talking about Torres.

DYC. 7,542 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Van Der Vart is only good when the team is built around him, the Spuds team is build perfectly to his strengths.That's not true. VDV was great at Real Madrid. Pretty much every time he got the opportunity to play he did well or great and he was effective too. But he's not a 'Galactico' and '€65 Mil Kaka' is and always got picked when fit even though he was average in his first season. Spurs play to his strengths? No they don't. VDV is a technician, ground football is his game, possession football is his game. A huge part of Tottenham's game is aerial, and quick counter-attacking, so it's quite the opposite. And he has been playing as a second striker for most of the season, even played on the wings a few times, as well while he's a classic number 10. But since he's very multi-functional, he does a good/great job in multiple roles.The VDV you see at Tottenham is not the true VDV.

Guest justin_3d Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I think Joe Cole tops them all as worst. Cause as bad Bebe is, he is a young guy coming from some other league.But Joe Cole, a good player, coming from the Champions Chelsea, to go to Liverpool to get more playing time. And now get almost nothing.....biggest flop for me.And best has to be Chicharito. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
