No need to go into the details as we all know.
I doubt there'd be many at all who wouldn't have sold him-and at a massive loss, too-if offered the chance.
From hopeless (and that's being generous) to almost undroppable and a Brazil call-up.
Can anyone think of a player who started so badly only to come good?
(and there's definitely a thread to be made for players who made the opposite journey ;) )
In a word: no. Joselu comes closest. Joe cost 40 million. I remember thinking I would accept 4 million to get rid. I wouldn’t sell him for 80 now.Quote:

Guessing Rafa didn't rate him as a striker as he was labelled at the time - and he'd have been right cause he wasn't and is not one. Clearly a midfielder as we gave seen.Quote:

Big Joe I mean.
Really can't think of anyone coming close. Almiron would have been in the conversation had his form lasted more than several games.
