Great Players who got sacked, dissed or otherwise sidelined by foolish managers

[PalazioVecchio]

....and went on to demonstrate the folly of the manager's ways.


1. Eze........a teenager booted out of the Arsenal Academy.

2. Jaap Staam.......Old Purple Nose shipped him out of Old Trafford. Fool.

3. Thierry Henry.........Juventus reckoned he wasn't up to much, and shipped him off to Arsenal. Duh

4. Wilfried Zaha..........another diamond hoofed out of Old Trafford. And look at the shyteshow that place has become. They lost Zaha and kept Harry Maguire. That was a good bit of business.

5. Robbie Keane............ The Tallaght boy was let go by Inter Milan. Had he played all his career in the Premier League, his goal-tally would have got him near the top of the rankings for all time. He is currently the 17th best Prem goal-scorer of all time, even though he did a ton of football in other countries.


what others ? Especially Eagles please, Eagles.

Didn't Man U let Pogba go on a free, sign him back for about £90 m then let him go on another free transfer?

Palace released Alan Devonshire TWICE back in the early 70’s

Mitchell: dumped by Brentford

Michael Olise was a youth player at Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City.

Chelsea sold de Bruyne and Salah for under 20 million combined. Probably worth 10X a few years later

We let Virgil go, or didn’t buy him for 6m when we had a chance.

Warnock said he was too slow 😳

He's the only Thunderbird we missed too. Jim Scott, Dean Gordon and several Johns & Alans.

Ashley Young wore the Red & Blue. On loan from Chelscum. I cannot say if we tried hard enough to keep him. But certainly he would have been an improvement to whoever else was on that part of the pitch.

Certainly we gave Glen Murray the heave-ho too early. Just from his recovery from injury. In hindsight it was poor decision-making from us.

Not sure about that. Ashley Young was Watford youth team before his first spell at Villa.

We did try to sign Cole but Wenger just laughed he knew that Cole was a top young player he went back to Arsenal and straight into their first team.

If he was shaking with rage at the pay offer he got at Chelsea he'd have self combusted at what we offered.

Mitchell: dumped by Brentford

Mitchell was not disposed off by Brentford.
He left the club after they dispensed with their academy on financial grounds.

That sounds like a Brentford Mafia hit.

I can remember the first time he played for us, 17, i think, he was so better than anyone on the pitch, it was embarrassing.

With our team at the time, it's not a surprise.

Ashley Cole used to be a striker but when aged 14 he filled-in as a left-back at the Arsenal academy and remained in this position.
