    just watched birm v bolton, and got to thinking about what a waste the talents of kevin davies has been, i really rate this player and if he had been younger would have been ideal with gyan. unfortunately time is not on his side now and the chance to play for a top club have gone (no offence bolton)
    anyone think off anyone else who should have gone onto bigger and better things?
    matt le tissier is another, but kevin davies sticks out for me

    good players wasted. An obvious one has to be Mary Poppins up the road.

    true mate, although he did win the p/l once. but should have had dozens of trophies, turns out his loyalty was wasted

    Always thought that David Bellion did not reach his full potential in the PL.
    I really thought he could have gone all the way. Not really sure if I blame him for his part of the manu saga, just thought he was blinded by the flashing lights.

    Lineaker - just think about how many more goals he would have scored if he played for one of the SKY4.

    that was a massive mistake by them and it is funny to c them mess up like that

    Most of the current or recent Man City squad. I think Milner is a fantastic player but he hasn't been anywhere near as good as he can be this season. Johnson is wasted there too. Shay Given is one of the best goalkeeper's in the premiership IMO and he's there rotting on the bench. Then your decent premiership players such as Santa Cruz and Bridge have lost all confidence and Bridge has looked very suspect for West Ham at times.

    No player in there right mind unless had the choice of Real Madrid, Barcelona would turn down Man United. I also liked Bellion while he was with us I loved seeing the lad play, he was lightning quick.


    Also another name

    Matt Piper, I can remember the game we drew Man United when Keane got sent off and Flo scored, I thought he had an exciting player on our hands when I watched Piper play that day just a shame his career was ruined by injuries because IMO that lad had something about him

    Kevin Phillips never got 90 minutes for his country - an absolute travesty of justice. And Darren Bent - love him or hate him, he DOES score goals - very nearly went the same way.

    Well my 19year old cousin played for Birmingham in the game against Bolton, only his 2nd start of the season, lets hope he's one of the next up and coming stars! :)
