    I would like to see a list of players who were world class for one club, transferred to another club and were trash, but after being transferred again became excellent players. Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry come to mind (they were good at Ajax and Monaco, were awful in Italy before they came to Arsenal), but i'm sure there were more players like them

      Lukaku - world class in his last season with Everton, then trash at United and world class with inter.
      Going back further, Ian rush was dominant with Liverpool, transferred to Italy and was abysmal, returned to Liverpool and won everything under the sun.

    Gordon was a shocking one that didnt make sense from the start, unless Newcastle were thinking of home grown points. Even so, apart from his footballing ability, his poor character and attitude at Everton was clear for all to see from his behaviour.
    Perez is a great example too, and it shows how much poor business Leicester have done alongside the good (they were seen as the best run club in England at one point).
    As a Wolves fan, that Cutrone deal still haunts us mentally to this day, at least Fabio Silva is now looking worth it though.

    More on Guido Carillo - he was well known to then manager Pellegrino, who managed him in Argentina. He convinced the board he was the real deal and was signed for him in January as we were bottom 3 at the time. He promptly looked like a headless chicken losing 0-3 on debut at Newcastle before Pellegrino was sacked the next day, so a pointless panic buy as hughes then Ralph didn't use him. Pellegrino was then manager at Elche where he ended up on a free.

    I think as we move into the realms of even the lower end premier league teams having huge transfer budgets some will take greater financial risks on trying to bring inunproven players with potential in the hopes it pays off. Obviously the clubs they are coming from will also want to try and get as much as they can from such deals.

He has looked sharp when coming on, gets in good positions, had a lot of goals chalked off for off-side. Just been a bit unlucky I think, we will see next season with a new manager.

    Which has since expanded to a rather astonishing 118 games, 17 goals...

His fitness was an issue, but noises coming from Dean Court suggested that his attitude was a greater problem. It's worth saying that while Eddie Howe may seem like the loveliest guy in football, he can be very ruthless when it comes to players that don't fit with his method (see also Tyrone Mings and Jack Wilshere at Bournemouth - Matt Ritchie and Ryan Fraser (ironically) at Newcastle).
