Great thread, Rio. If you looked back at the Milan of the 90's we'd find plenty of examples: Ba, Ngotty, Commandini, Jose Mari, Lehmann, etc..

But today, we need look no further than Real Madrid: Marcelo (what's happened to all the hype about the being the next Roberto Carlos), Gago (the next Redondo? I think not), Higuain (spends more time on bench than on pitch), Diarra (definitely not worth the price they paid for him), Robben (not worth it for a handful of good games per year), Saviola (we were YEARNING for him back in his River Plate days).
