Perhaps, its along time ago! I minded two Russians or Ukraine and one was better than the other and we apparently got the better one?

Rebrov was partnered with Shevchenko at Dynamo Kiev, who went on to Milan and scored a bucket load, but I don't think Rebrov was ever considered better than him. Maybe wishful thinking from us!

Arshavin and Pav were the Russian strikeforce at the Euros back whenever, as I recall we were still interested in Arshavin but couldn't get it done then he went to Woolwich in the winter and we resigned Keane.
 
Sessegnon and FOyth. IMO they are extremely talented and better than Aurier or Davis, but current coaching staff didn't give them nearly enough chances for them to succeed.

Acimovic. Did we see him in the World Cup? He looked very skilful before he arrived.

Remember him hitting the ball over the bar from 5 yards v Wet Spam, 0-0 result. Some players seem to have bad luck. He did the right thing by getting over the ball from the cross to make sure he hit the target. He hit it into the ground too hard and it flew over the bar.

Hoddle bought some absolute duds.
 
Zola today on Il Corriere della Sera in an interview (the topic was the Premier League) praised Mourinho's Tottenham indicating them as a team to be considered among the best together with Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea.
 
Giovani dos Santos - I remember watching him scoring a hat trick just turned 19 years old for Barca, and getting a thumbs up from a beaming coach Rijkaard. And then suddenly he was a Spurs player.

It transpired of course that GDS was a victim of new coach Guardiola's purge of the party boys (Ronaldinho, Deco etc).

Adel Taarabt. Again, fabulous natural talent, watching him waddle onto the pitch for his debut and leaving some Spammer fucktard on his butt with a ridiculous piece of skill was Football Comedy Gold. But Adel never could get in football shape.

As Mourinho told Dele:
'I don't know if it has to do with your lifestyle. I don't know if in one period you are an amazing professional and in another period you are a party boy.

'Only you can know that. One day I think you will regret if you don't reach what you can reach.'

Dele is just awful. Needs to be dropped. Get bale in to play next to kane and son...proper quality front 3. Dele just slows everything down and turns a forward pass into him into a backwards or sidewards pass.

Well Dele has done extremely well for us at one point. So a bit different to the thread premise imo.
