Name a striker who had lots of potential but never actually made it....
Jermaine Beckford - banged in the goals for Leeds, went to Everton and scored 1 in 4 but didnt make the grade and is now at Huddesfield |  |

I thought Balanta would be great for us but he doesn't seem to have progressed much over the last three or four years. |  | | |

Terry Neill signed Nicholas for Arsenal on 22 June 1983, for £800,000. As a 21-year-old at the time of his move to Arsenal, he reportedly became the highest paid footballer in Britain and was described as being "the most exciting player to emerge in Britain since George Best". However, he did not live up to the hype surrounding his move and Neill was sacked as Arsenal's manager in December 1983 following poor results [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Rooney? I thought he would be the best player in the world by the time he was this age.
Oh and Robbie Fowler. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Macheda? Scored a title winning goal but sod all since, or was it just a case of right time right place? | |

Fowler and Owen both achieved a fair bit.

And in a very similar way, Peter Marinelo just a few years earlier at Arsenal. |  | | |

Yeah, very good player for us but neither the goal machine he appeared to be in the youth team nor the player that Ferguson allegedly bid £1m for [when £1m was worth something]. I think might have been different but of for his injury.
One of a run of similar players for us: Bradley Allen, Gallen, Dichio and Dougie Freedman. Allen had a striking partner called Kevin Kingsmore who was tearing up trees in the youth team and never even made it into the first team.

Kluivert - good call! As the memory of his brief Ajax days faded, it was a case of, why do people bother?
Fowler and Owen scored tons of goals, but peaked before they were 25. Compare with someone like Pippo Inzaghi, who without ever looking much of a player, was scoring goals to win trophies into his late 30s.
David Nugent? Robbie Keane? Signed by Inter as a teenager, but no more than a streak player afterwards.

Totally agree on Rooney, nowhere near the player he looked capable of becoming.
Kevin Campbell springs to mind. Scored ridiculous amounts of goals in Arsenal's youth team but was never prolific at senior level.
Gallen also. Even before the injury he had become more of a 10-15 goal a season player than the free scoring goal machine of his younger years. | | | |
