I see that Jack Rodwell has now departed Man City and gone to Sunderland. I seem to remember big things being said about him and his future when he was at Everton so what went wrong? Who else would you add to this thread in recent times?
About 28 players in the last 10 seasons that have left Wigan. :ohmy:
From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!Another damp squib of a thread ! Not argumentative enough maybe?You didn’t mention Roberto Martinez.

Who else would you add to this thread in recent times?Jimmy Bullard, Jason Roberts,Pascal Chimbonda and Wilson Palacios.
All thought that their careers would be improved by leaving us!!
All achieved nout !!!

Bullard did well at Fulham, even got into the England squad, his demise only started through injuries, Jason Roberts did as much at Blackburn as he did with us including doubling his salary, he was doing ok at Reading as well until he again suffered a long term injury, Chimbonda and Palacious have had as much success if not more than the did with us and earned a substantial amount more than they did with us.
So they were all probably right in “thinking that their careers would be improved by leaving us” there is nothing saying that their careers wouldn’t have gone downhill or they would not have suffered serious injury had the not stayed with us.

Like I said. Achieved nout !!
I was sort of aiming at young players who have been ‘Bigged Up’ and gone on to obscurity rather than stardom! Who remembers Jody Morris? Another promising teenager who went on to nothingness!
For those old enough to remember – Peter Marinello was going to be the new George Best.
Well his lifestyle was……

Hyped as a future English superstar when still in nappies, then joined Ajax.
I think the story stopped there.The entire England youth set-upHere are a few line-ups of England youth teams for games that I went to over the last dozen years.
You would think that if a lad gets into an England representative squad he is likely to make some sort of a name for himself, but it seems not to be the case.
Obviously there are a few recognisable names (including Wayne Rooney coming on as a sub), but there is no easy path to wealth and riches it seems.
