    I was just thinking and unsure whether this has been done before but who do you think is the biggest waste of talent we've had at our club- it can be down to injuries, poor form etc
    1) kieron dyer- fantastic when fit
    2) Jermaine Jenas- left too early could have been a fantastic player for us
    3) Lauren robert- just wish he'd have been a little less selfish
    4) Bellamy- little **** but just wish he'd have stayed longer was fantastic for us
    5) Albert luque- Fantastic before he came here
    6) Bramble- ^^^^ see above

    Luque has to be up there as we saw he actually had the talent. Bellamy definitely. Can't think of any more apart from the ones you mentioned.

    Apparently Scott Parker. Never did that well for us, and now he has got into the England Squad and is one of the PL's best CMs.

    Could be something to do with the fact he never led the midfield when he was here (Emre).

    Rossi was a difficult one- we didn't give him the opportunity he deserved and i'm not sure whether he was physical enough for the english game!
    Would be interesting to see him back!
    Woodgate- yeah would have been great to keep him but i don't think we had much choice on letting him go!
    Viana- definitely

    He only ever seemed to go backwards when the team was going forward. So frustrating.

    However, he was a decent player for us, and I'm sure most would take him back.

    Yeah would definitely take him back!
    However still think he's a big fish in a small pond at West Ham

    IMO the only reason he is in the England squad is because he is a big fish in a small pond at West Ham and he has a clean reputation

    Joey should easily be picked ahead of him but we all know why he isn't

    Think Parker enjoys being the driving force of the team, its when he was at his best at both Charlton and West Ham (both smaller clubs than his other two, us and Chelski, where he failed to reach his peak)

    Parker used to frustrate the hell out of me and seemed to be intent on running around in circles before passing the ball backwards when there were opportunities to get forward.

    I'd say Ambrose was a talent we never saw the best of at NUFC.

    Yep Gazza. Wasted his talent by letting it go well before its time.

    Woodgate, he would have been an England regular and probably in the top 4 had he stayed injury free.
