Yessss, and Donna is a traitor to Milan......he never said that he wanted to leave so bad.....and he made his contract ran out so that PSG rewards him with more salary. Disgrace.
Neymar really didn’t live to his hype. He’s had a fantastic career but for what he could have been with a different mentality it’s kinda sad. I understand though, not everyone wants that, some people just want to be happy.
Hmmmmmm... 3rd in the Ballon d'or with Messi and Ronaldo around + a Champions League win in which he was one of the team's best players should be a very good thing. His numbers are also quite great.
@@saiyerugara9038 Neymar doesn't have a Copa America he was injured in 2019 when the Brazilians won, he only has a Confederations Cup which is a fairly great achievement plus an Olympic games win.
Mata is a Chelsea legend. Chelsea fans know Mata gave 100% and left because Jose Mourinho for all his success at Chelsea struggled to get the best out of skillful players (Mata, De Bruyne and Salah). You could probably have an article about 10 players Jose failed to get the best out of.
I'm sorry but regardless of how Alexis Sanchez left arsenal. I do believe he is an arsenal legend. The things he did for arsenal when arsenal were so poor he brought joy and world class performances to the Emirates
Alexis Sanchez is very much a legend in Chile.. Scenario: Chile had never won a title, after an exciting 2014 world cup Chile eliminated Spain and came inches away from eliminating hosts Brazil, Chile hosts the copa america...fast forward to the final against historic rivals Argentina, the country Chilean football has always looked to for inspiration. Goes to Penalties, Alexis is Chile's fourth taker and yet has the match point, and he scores a panenka. Chile's first ever tournament win, at home, full stadium, against historic rivals...won with a panenka....and you put him on this list?

Neymar shouldn't be on this list. He absolutely upgraded psg enormously and he got them to a cl final. Now he is "struggling" cause he has played as a playmaker for 4 years. But then the best playmaker ever is taking his role and adapting back is very difficult
I think that you could still make arguments for some of these players being legends at these clubs. Neymar 110% has legendary status at Barca, Ozil is considered a legend by Arsenal and Madrid, and Sanchez is also very much considered a legend by Arsenal fans.
I won’t blame Van de vaart for leaving Spurs. As mentioned AVB didn’t fancy him and so after having 2 really good seasons at the club l suddenly being on the bench must have been tough for him.
@@IamQueue I remeber him being the most talented German CB of his generation. Nobody cared about Boateng, Hummels was the one to not make it in Bayern, all the others were just a step below him. I´d love for him to come back and play the role of the experience CB in Bayern´s second team. The Feldhanh role as Feldhahn is 36 or so. This has been something I wished for for years. Would be such a fitting end to this sad story.
On this merit we're going to see fewer and fewer legends because players with momentum on their side will almost always opt where there is more money even if it means mediocrity.
Andre Onana at Ajax. Joined from Barca when he was still a youth player. Brake trough in the first team. Been our first keeper for years. Loved by the fans and being exceptional. Then he gets a doing ban. Doesn't play for a year. Gets all the support from the club. Decides to not extend his contract. Is going to leave on a free to Inter. In his last 6 months, he plays extremely bad. Says in interviews he doesn't care about it at all. Weird towards fans. And now because of his attitude gets dropped for the cup final. For a 39 year old Stekelenburg who will play his first match of the season today. Totally ruined his status at the club.
Javier Saviola Andres D'Allessandro Diego Robinho Adriano Victor Ikpeba Mario Balotelli I'm just remembering the hyped up players on Championship manager and World Soccer lists.
I support a small team , the player i will say destroyed his reputation with the fan's was peter thorne . Him along with kav leaving and the latter saying happy leave to a club going places , cardiff where there isn't any love lost between the clubs . Losing top goal scorer and solid midfielder it was all the more sweeter beat cardiff in the play offs and become the first club win in Cardiffs millenium stadium that used the south dressing room . Then to sack the manager after promotion madness
As a Chelsea fan I will never forgive Mourinho for Selling Mata, Salah and De Bruyne might be the bigger stars but Mata was a monster for us his Anti-football cost us

Surprised they put ozil instead of Van Persie.Ozil was starting to fade either way unlike both sanchez or van persie who were still top notch when they left
A few players I feel like could have done way better in the "legend" category are Ronaldo for leaving RM so early, Ramos for declining too quickly and leaving as well, Marcelo and Bale for declining so quickly, as for Bale declining so quickly in RM jersey. Who are missing in the video are Griezmann and Coutinho for their moves to Barca, Asensio and Isco for massive career brakedowns after the 3 CL titles and basically every half decent Dortmund, Schalke, Leipzig or Leverkusen player for their moves to Bayern
Portuguese Ronaldo? He became a legend 5 seasons in. Bale may not be seen as a legend but he should be viewed as iconic for 2013-2018. Isco never got started, Ascenio can turn it around. Marcelo is a legend.

Because Van Persie never cared about Arsenal, and was extremely happy to leave and win trophies with United. Just like Nasri, Clichy, Sagna, Kolo and Adebayor didnt care when they left for City. Arsenal was not a competitive team for these guys.
