We've had the bargain's but what about the duds?

Veron
Brolin
Dumitrescu & Răducioiu

Are FOUR from the past.

Carroll and Torres are two that come to mind for present players although they can both do something about it.

Ali Dia - the guy that claimed to be George Weah's cousin and signed by Souness at Southampton! Read an article on him in 442 recently.

Most of those duds would still have got into almost any side in the EPL outside the top 6 or so teams.

Lee Cattermole.

Possibly THE worst 'footballer' I have ever seen take to a field. Brings nothing but late tackles, guaranteed bookings and a red card every now and then.

..also a horrible human being.

Gallas is not a dud at all, he has played well for a number of EPL clubs

He had a detrimental effect on the Arsenal dressing room. He was good for Chelsea, I'll give you that, but poor for Arsenal.

Now then, time to do Chelsea...

Bogarde, Shevchenko, Luiz, Smertin, Torres, Del Horno, Mutu, Veron, Kezman, Deco, Wright Phillips, Sidwell, Sullivan, Ben Haim, Quaresma, Ambrosetti, De Lucas, Jokanovic.

And Liverpool...

Aquilani, Carrol, Cheyrou, Diouf, Diao, Voronin, Keane, Kromkamp, Poulsen, Konchesky, Traore, Arphexhad (sp?), Dossena, Morientes.

Bendtner and Denilson cost nothing. If they are sold they would make a tidy profi to pay for the stadium.

Gallas was a very good buy until he lost it with Adebayor and Nasri.

The rest are plums.

Very harsh to call Robbie Keane a dud, has had a fantastic premier league career and showed that he can still play in this league with his recent loan spell at Villa. Dossena will never be considered a dud because of the lob he scored against Man UTD Smile

Aah, Utd.

It's funny how a general topic like this can end up with Bias against Utd. And interestingly some of those so called duds mentioned have more medals than some. As for Forlan remember his 2 goals againt Liverpool at Anfield? Classic!

There are a lot of players who haven't done well at one club but overall have had very good careers, ie Robbie Keane. As the thread is about Premier League duds I would say that Gallas, Keane, Heskey have all been good premier league players

I've done lists for the 4 biggest clubs in the premier league since I started following football.

Well it was for the first 3/4 posts then all of a sudden a list of Utd "duds" was posted.

I was thinking more of 'dud' signings, hence Torres' inclusion.

Great for Liverpool, mediocre for Chelsea, thus far.
