- From short-time Swansea City sensation Michu to Polish international Krzysztof Piątek, who scored 30 goals for Genoa and AC Milan in his first season in Serie A, HITC Sevens takes a look at some of the most notable one-season wonders from every one of the last 20 seasons.

Ah yes Hoffenheim, that famous Eredivisie club
Lol it looked like heerenveen to me
I heard that and got confused too 🤣
Hoffenheim are German
And Bologna and their famous relegation to the fourth tier of french football
@@WallieTheRed it's Boulogne
2018/19 I'd argue that Luka Jovic was even more of a one-season wonder than Piatek, given his performances at Eintracht Frankfurt that directly lead to him being bought for an insane amount by Real Madrid, where he pretty quickly disappeared into a black hole.
He never had a chance at real also he was very good in the season before look at Frankfurts 18/19 season which was crazy
He’s a beast, he’ll do fine at Fiorentina.
@@Comeatm3br0 or not
@@Comeatm3br0 i hope he can come back in his best state of form, as a Fiorentina fan
I somehow feel like Jovic has a better chance to redeem himself then Piatek. Jovic just seemed like such an incredible natural goalscorer that season.
Ah Michu, I remember him fondly. What a player!
you must be from the streets...cause the streets never forgot Michu
@@Kalinho83 streets will never forget because they never stfu about forgetting them
I remember being enthusiast for Michu's singing for Napoli, only for him to miss the key goal for our UCL qualifier match against Athletic Bilbao, and then do nothing during the rest of the season.
Heeey i just Michu.. and this is crazy 😆
Small correction: Alves scored 47 goals in 45 games for Herenveen, not Hoffenheim, which I'm sure is what Alfie meant to say.
Thank you for this, I was wondering when this guy was at Hoffenheim and how the 1st Dutch division would have been relevant for this :D.
He should've mentioned as well that Alves scored 7 in 1 game just before moving to Middlesbrough.
@@daarom3472 Dude was a beast that 1 season, every defense feared the guy
Grafite and Dzeko up top for Wolfsburg is serious nostalgia.
Džeko in that Wolfsburg kit was a beast
That goal against Bayern were he owned everybody, then back heeled it in. Legendary.
Grafite was absolutely crazy that season. Didn't just score goals but did it in style. Crazy how he dropped off so soon because it didn't seem like a season where he got lucky like some other players
You forgot Sandro. Scored 20+goals in a season for Malaga. Signed by Everton then bombed everywhere else he went
He only scored 16 goals in all competitions for Malaga, 14 in La Liga, which isn't bad at all, but it's not 20+. And while it was a fairly good season for him, I don't remember him getting too much attention around Europe as a "future star". Keita Balde (who got the spot for that 16-17 season) was far more widely viewed as a serious talent. He also scored 16 goals, but those were all in Serie A, and he was playing as a Winger, not a central striker. I remember there were many teams looking to sign him, and there were even rumors about interest from Spain to call him up, as he was born in Spain (in fact, in one Fifa game edition he had spanish nationality). Sandro could had been a good shout if his "wonder season" had come maybe one year before, but I think it's fair to give the 16-17 spot to Balde.
@@TheNormalJuan Oh my mistake. I thought he scored more. Athletico Madrid wanted him but he chose Everton cos they had new money and would pay massive wages
And Jonathas
Sturridge shouldn't have been anywhere near this list! He was excellent for Bolton in 2011, scoring nearly a goal a game, was a great squad player at Chelsea (good enough to make several England appearances and score a great backheel against Man United), and then scored 11 in 16 for Liverpool the season before his "one season wonder" season - including a hattrick against Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Even after his best season, he was a key man in Liverpool's Europa League run under Klopp and even scored a fantastic goal in the final. He managed a quietly excellent 13 goals in 25 apps in 15-16 as well. He obviously had a terrific year in 13-14 but that's because he was clearly a terrific player.
Take away the injuries and we'd be talking about a 100 premier league goal striker easy.
@@joaquin17171717 Aritz Aduriz's 15-16 season shows even a quite prolific goal scorer could have a one season wonder type aberration if certain things happen right (Aduriz had a career peak in production in both goals and assists per game at the same time Athletic Bilbao had solid cup and Europe runs resulting in 36 goals and 10 assists in a minute heavy 55 games). The issue is Sturridge actually had an injury shortened season with a goal contribution a game before the 22 goal, 9 assist in 29 game season.
Funny how januzi wasn’t mentioned
Literally one of the worst takes this channel has ever had, I have always said if it wasn't for the injuries he would have been England's best striker. His numbers were always decent even after the 13/14 season it was only the injuries keeping him out for long periods of time until Klopp had already found his system.
Sturridge was good, but he had the durability of a fabergé egg
I appreciate the effort you take into your videos but Alves never played for Hoffenheim, I’m guessing you meant Heerenveen as the photo overlaid was him in their kit 😃
Yes, apologies, just my continuing descent into senility that you all get to watch happen in real time!
@@HITCSevens regardless of the slip up it was a class video 🙌
@@HITCSevens We're all getting to that point Alfie lad
I was wondering I heard him mention a Bundesliga Club then went on to string comparisons with former Eredivisie players was confused.
@@HITCSevens Considering your amount of research it's only normal you'll slip up here and there... no biggie.
Day 4:
A detailed look at the state of Crotone would be nice, going from Serie A in 20/21 with a 20 goal a season striker (Simy) to Serie C by 22/23. Two relegations in a row, something surely has to be wrong at that club.
@Stephen C
Everyone cares about Crotone.
#PrayForCrotone
@Stephen C they may not be the most relevant club but considering the type of videos that Alfie makes, it would make sense for him to make a "What On Earth Is Going On At..." style video on Crotone
@@Alex-xn2pj He won't, because he doesn't care. He had "wonderful" chances to create context of that sort with many Italian clubs which have played in Serie A and now they are either gone (Carpi, for example), only active at youth level (like Chievo Verona) or reformed as phoenix clubs (Palermo, Catania, Cesena, Bari, Foggia, Livorno, Ancona, among many others). But any time he's been suggested to make content of that sort with (former) Serie A sides in decline, Alfie just (deliberately) omits them.
@@WERTYUIO821 Really. It was a story to be seen because of our mentality not being ready for clubs who go down two levels in two seasons even though it's technically possible. And Crotone, with Junior Messias (now at AC Milan) were quite entertaining for their record. Messias seems to have adapted decently well. But I think it's also easier to recognize many, many more players than you think are genuine journeymen. It also makes you appreciate the few who can keep up the numbers at such high levels across systems, roles, clubs and cultures.
@Stephen C
Crotone is an Italian club with Greek origins. Currently playing in Seria C/C, recently being in Seria A.
Founded in 1910, they went through the persecutions that Mussolini did to anything associated with Greece in early 1930s(how much he hated Greece, how poetic that Greece made him be written in history as an idiot world wide 10 years later).
In ancient times their city, Kroton, was quite successful in Olympics.
Their nickname is "The Pythagoreans" and it is a nice underdog story to follow and hope for the best. There are not many clubs from south Italy in Seria A, only Napoli being a regular so a hopeful Croton was nice to have. Basically the most unique out of the clubs all around based on everything.
I recently won the Champions League with them in FM so I may have some bias.
Luka Jovic has only scored 7 goals in the last 3 seasons after scoring 27 in 18/19
Yeah he has been bad too ever since he got his move to Real.
agreed let's see if he plays more now and if he performs like at frankfurt
I can confirm that everyone in Poland was obsessed with Piątek when he sign for Milan and everyone was calling him the next Lewandowski. People still knows him but he's irrelevant nowadays
Oh man Guiza, I would like to provide some context for his misfortunate saga as a Fenerbahçe fan. He signed for Fener in the summer of 2008 with a club record transfer fee (still to this day) as the top scorer of La Liga in the previous season. We've also brought in Euro 2008 winning coach Luis Aragones and in the previous campaign Fenerbahçe almost made it to the semi finals of UCL putting a really good display against Chelsea so the expectations from Guiza and the team were sky high. However the things didn't go quite well in 08/09 season and we finished the league in 4th place while being knocked out of the group stage in UCL and with the club record fee weighing on his shoulders Guiza also failed to meet the expectations. Well , that should not have been a problem, after all Fenerbahçe is kind of known for its underwhelming strikers and it's kind of a banter in Turkey but the criticism this guy received was nothing like I'd seen before and I doubt I will ever see anything like that again. He became a nationwide laughing stock, it's like every sports pundit on any type of media was making fun of him, even the most popular TV shows at that time was making Guiza jokes and kids would call each other Guiza if they missed a sitter during a football match.
I remember around that time he broke up with his wife and was paying alimony and his personal life also started to have a huge coverage on Spanish and Turkish media which only damaged his self-esteem even more. So the topscorer of La Liga, the man who helped Spain win the Euros and challenged the likes of David Villa and Fernando Torres became a shadow of his former self, constantly missing easy opportunities and dramatically hugging the woodwork (as shown in the pic in the video) while looking like he is at the verge of crying. That being said, the guy had class. He was silky with the ball and had good movement and he always showed up in the big matches. He showed glimpses of his skills from time to time, oddly he would always score in Beşiktaş derby. In the 09/10 campaign he managed to score against Trabzonspor as well but the match ended as a draw and we bottled the championship on last day...
However his most iconic moment during his time was Fener came in 2010/2011 season and after that moment, a lot of Fener fans well at least me started to see Guiza differently. He only made one appearance that season coming off the bench against Bucaspor away and boy did he make it count... Fenerbahce came back from a 3-1 deficit and Guiza scored the goal that put us up front 3-4, it was one of the craziest moment of my life and one of our fans fell off from the bleachers after Guiza scored (he's ok). We won the match 3-5 and it was one of the most pivotal matches of Fenerbahçe's most iconic title win when interviewed after the match Dani Guiza couldn't hold his tears back and as a result of non-stop media bashing and pressure he delivered an emotional speech and cried during the interview. And in that moment, he redeemed himself in my eyes. So this was the story of Guiza, it's a shame he never reached up to the heights he could have but I still believe if it weren't for that club record transfer fee he would've left a better impression on Turkish football fans. His performance was not utterly terrible, certainly better than any of our strikers' we had in last 10 years!
Thank you Guiza for the memories.
I thank you too, for sharing this wonderful journey of his.
cok güzel yazmıssın kardesim eline aağlık
His record of 1 goal every 3 games is still pretty decent.
Fener played against my Partizan. Uh intense matches
@@infuzionirastvor9921 Yeah i remember. 08-09 season.
Calling Grafite a "one season wonder" is one of the major INSANITYS Alfie has ever proposed. And OBVIOUSLY Dzeko had better years after 2009 when compared to Grafite, Grafite was already THIRTY at 2009, at his peak, and Dzeko was barely 23/24.
Some clueless statements tbh, not considering prime years and only the "biggest" Transfer doesnt tell the whole story
Special shout-out to Jack Butland for his 16-17 season on FIFA 17, he was unreal, especially on 4 chem for some reason
Fifa isn't real.and a shit game
@@petesmart1983stop being so serious buddy
2013-14
My respects for Paloschi, but I think Josip Drmic is an even more notorious one-season wonder case.
During those months, Drmic scored an impressive 17 Bundesliga goals for Nürnberg, almost a half of the 37 goals Nürnberg scored that season as they were relegated as second from bottom.
Drmic was then transferred to Leverkusen, where his six goals in a single season didn't convince the club to keep him for longer, eventually selling Drmic to Borussia Mönchengladbach. Things got even worse for Drmic at Gladbach, where a mix of bad attitude and a string of injuries, an unimpressive loan spell at Hamburger included, all of them affected his form over the years. After being released by Gladbach, Drmic joined Norwich City, where his lack of fitness and enthusiasm were still evident, and he only scored 1 goal in 2019-20, as Norwich were relegated from the Premier League as dead last.
Drmic only managed to find a good run of form in a 18-month loan period at Rijeka. In June 2022, he was allowed to leave Norwich City in order to join Dinamo Zagreb on a free transfer.
It doesnt feel right that Hakan Yakin is there. He was still very good when he returned to Switzerland with Young Boys and in the 07/08 season he scored 24 goals and made 15 assists in 32 league games.
Man also included someone scoring 10 goals in a season as being their massively successful season. Not sure what the metrics are that he's using.
Tbf looking at Hakan Yakin, he looked pretty prolific in the Swiss leagues, so was just in the Champions League he was a one season wonder!
Yakin was a baller
Good lord I haven't heard of bojinov since he was my number one transfer target in every PES 04 master league.
You're dead wrong about Lundstram.
He was superb for Rangers this season, especially in Europe
Probably our best player during the 2nd half of the season
Definitely one of best players for Rangers last season
But it's the Scottish league
@@petesmart1983 scotlands had three european finalists in the last 18 years the most of any country outside the top five or six countries so its no that bad
You forgot to mention Amr Zaki in the 08/09 season at Wigan
Half season wonder

You talked about Dani Guiza being the greatest one season wonder, and didn't even mention that the tail end of that was winning Euro 2008 with Spain contributing with 3 goals.
Michu was actually so good that year
As a Newcastle fan I'll never forget Papiss Cisse's glorious six months in 2012. Any other half season wonders out there?
I’ll never forget that crazy goal he scored… against Chelsea? I think.
@J C that ridiculous outside of the boot shot over Cech? I thought he'd broken football 🤣 we tried to replicate that shit...not a hope
Piatek can make into this list.
It was an incredible run of goalscoring performance by Cisse. That period of football alongside Cheick Tiote, Gutierrez, Demba Ba etc. so good to watch
Cisse was good at Freiburg in the previous 1.5 years so he had at least two great seasons. A real half season wonder was Ebi Smolarek. 2005/2006 first half. Scored 11 goals, was leading the table as a top scorer... and scored two more goals in the next half season.
I miss michu man, those days , i was 14 at that time, and i am a liverpool fan but michu, cause of him i watch almost 80% of swansea match that season, just rooting for him
God bless u michu, u give much joy with my friends watching u play
Vincent Janssen would've been a decent shout for 2015/16
I’ve realised that Michu is actually a 2 season wonder. Big brain stuff 🧠
I wish Michu never got injured and we’d signed him, that man shouldn’t have been a one season wonder imo, he was actually so good.
I was hoping you could make a video about South African football and why South Africa hasn't progressed as a national team to reach the levels of West African Nations despite having the best league in Africa and having considerably good amount of funding
especially with the world cup in 2010 having all eyes on the country, it’s a shame they haven’t been able to hit the heights of other african teams
Bro as a South Africa that would be amazing ...
@@MrLucozadeFTW not surprising since as soon as the 2010 world cup was over, reality struck and South Africa began to sink as a country.
South African football has been on the decline since the 1996 generation.
@@NanaBaffourAsare 100%
How did Berahino not make this list? 18 goals in his breakout season, Spurs wanted to pay £20m for him, he made the England squad, and then since then I don't think he's scored 18 goals in the rest of his career. Last season he was let go from Sheffield Wednesday for not being good enough.
I remember when he literally did not score for Stoke city r sum club that Match of the day made fun of him
That's him, I was struggling to remember his name. Saido Berahino was white hot for a short time.
Oh, man, Nocerino, you just remembered me a player I really liked in my childhood for some reason and was hidden very deep in my memory... I'm almost crying from nostalgia 😂😭
Alfie, I am STILL playing FM 2010, it's somehow still my favourite iteration of the game. In fact, I'm playing it right now! I love how it never actually crashes unless you do something despicable in the editor, unlike pretty much all of the more recent versions.

Marc Janko should’ve been a honourable mention for 2008/09 season he scored 39 goals in 35 league games for RB Salzburg
He scored many goals for FC Twente afterwards
@@balanceinmidfield1843 never got another season like that though exactly like Grafite
@@LeeMonHussain95 not exactly like that. But a one season wonder should also be determined by a lack of any other succesful seasons.
Janko had other good spells.
Janko was a legend in Australia too.
@@balanceinmidfield1843 I understand he had other good spells but they were in not very competitive leagues
After Salzburg he didn’t do well at Porto which was the biggest club he played for

So good that season one of the greatest songs in football was formed...
Another video. Completed it mate
Michael Ricketts was a Sub in my Easbourne Borough FM10 squad who took me from league 2 to league 1 with a 120th minute play off goal. We won the Prem 6 years after that but that goal was the most important goal of the save as I invested a lot when we reached League 2 and without promotion we could have gone bankrupt. So yeah. Michael Ricketts is one player I absolutelly love to remember
Brillant work 👏
As an Everton fan, I'd like to nominate Dominic Calvert-Lewin (2020/21)
Michu was the reason my friend became Swansea fan
It's my Birthday today, and there's no better way to start the day than another video from Alfie 🤘
It's mine as well, congrats bday friend!
@@Comryft happy birthday ❤️ Birthday Twins 🎂
If looking for non PL players, would have included Sulejmani in 2006 at Heerenveen. This caused Ajax to sign him for record fee and he never ever returned to the Heerenveen form since. Now playing at Young Boys in Zwitserland.
Sulejmani played v Juve in the europa league for ajax and looked very interesting tbh
Amr Zaki was WORLD CLASS for one season
half a season not even the full season
Got to love it when alfie uploads as your just about to sit down and wat your breakfast
The first time I heard of Michu was when Haaland mentioned him as his idol now I know everything about his career and it is truly a sad story
Would love a video on the biggest or most memorable half time turnarounds or even mid season turnarounds!
Kinda surprised that the 15/16 one wasn't someone like Danny Drinkwater or Marc Albrighton. Like that entire leicester side was a one season wonder, but while Kante, Schmeichel, Mahrez and Vardy have all gone on to have top careers, it was technically Huths third title and Morgan also won the FA cup, Albrighton has kinda been just a steady backup since behind a succession of attempted Mahrez replacements on the right and Barnes on the left, and Drinkwaters career fell apart after moving to Chelsea.
alrbighton 20-21 > albrighton 15-16
He was a steady and fairly good midfielder for Leicester before 15-16. He actually received a nomination for Championship Player of the Year in 13-14, his most prolific season, as he played an important role for their promotion. And after the 15-16 season he was still decent for them. Chelsea didn't sign him inmediatly after Leicester's PL winning season, he played one more season at Leicester and did ok (maybe not brilliant, but he was ok). It's not like they bought him JUST for that amazing season. For at least 4 years he was a decent and at times very good midfielder. Not really "one season wonder" material.
Albrighton has never been a "wonder" though, except when he debuted for Villa and was compared to Garrincha early on.
better view than gattuso from the bench, thats a good one
Fun fact #12:Sebastián Abreu is the player who has been in the most clubs during his professional carrer(32).(Couldn’t think of something associated with the video).
Syuncu definitely an honourable mention haha
Because of 04-05 season Bojinov was a beast in FM06.
Loved Michu, had the lad in my fantasy footy team
Bullshit 🤣
Incredible that Michu's one season wonder happens to really inspire Haaland. I wonder what happen if Michi have had only a "modest" season back then
The story of Martin Palermo
As an Albion fan I definitely spied Jahanbaksh there in the honourable mentions - he was truly atrocious for us and cost a decent chunk of change to bring in too.
Well doesn't really make him a one season wonder. He just wasn't good enough for the Premier League
@@janwillemdewaard354 his ‘one season wonder’ was the season before we bought him (17/18) - 21 Goals - when his previous best in the Eredivisie was 10.
Since then he utterly failed in the Prem and only scored 4 last season back in the Netherlands with Feyenoord - so absolutely 100% a one season wonder.
Not saying he’s not a decent player or person - just that he has had one very good season above all others.
I will never ever not laugh when a foreigner says "Grafite". One of many brazilian players that made it in Europe with a nickname making fun of his skin color and nobody noticed lol.
What does it mean? Announcers in Germany struggled big time with calling his name.
@@davinnicode Graphite... from pencils, because he's black.
Danny Graham for Swansea in 11/12 should have been an honorable mention too!
Not going to lie mate John lundstram isn’t a one season wonder anymore after his performances last year for rangers. He’s shown he’s a serious player bossing games against some top European teams.
Yep one season wonder in a good league
@@petesmart1983 that’s why West Ham got to the final with rangers
I was certain I would hear Danny Drinkwater get mentioned in this video for his 2015/16 season. I know he's been present in other seasons, but nothing like that season.
Didn't Collins John also play in that Fulham side with John Collins? That must be a first if they did play, and are there any other examples of players with first and surnames the same but swapped?
should have a video of 7 strange teammate names who are somehow linked, add in ones like Kyle Walker and Kyle Walker-Peters
Moral of the story: If you're going to have a decent season and then turn crap, there's always a place for you at Boro?
Amen to that. UTB
Paul warhurst Sheffield Wednesday 1992-93...a converted defender into a master striker for one season... lots of injuries especially to our striker's and especially to our star striker david hirst made our manager take a gamble on our lighting quick defender paul warhurst...to everybody's surprise he literally couldn't stop scoring...he even looked like a master striker!!.. blasting the ball left foot right foot top corner header's everything
I loved transfer rumours when I was like 13 years old. Then I just got indifferent because I've learned they were just a pile of crap. Now I hate them and I ignore them completely. I almost fully switch off from football during summer because I don't want to hear or see the rumours.
Feel the same after 5 years of reading how "Chelsea have been linked with Hulk"
@crisb me too but atleast Fabrizio romano has atleast brought sanity
The Martin Terrier one did not age well 😂
The inclusion of Michu on these lists is ridiculous and massively PL-centric. He was La Liga's top scoring midfielder the season before joining Swansea. He was a late bloomer and injuries cruelly cut short his career but he was no one season wonder.
14/15 should be Saido Berahino
I still remember the transfer saga that went on being covered by Sky Sports :D
Harsh on Bojinov. He had a terrible injury minutes into his City career so never got a chance.
As a Bulgarian, I can assure you that everything Alfie said is true. Bojinov would have most likely had the same career path without the injuries. He is still one of the most relevant footballers in Bulgaria today, however it’s not for what he does on the pitch. His attitude is sky-high and he is a bit of a meme character. It just seems like he cared more to be a showman than a footballer.
@@kozio669 never got to see what he could do at City which was probably his biggest opportunity and that had little to do with attitude.
@@JoeMercersWay Like I said, it probably wouldn't have made a difference. He has always put different insignificant things above football.
I wouldn't call Michu a one season wonder. I think he was very promising thorughout his career in Spain and definitely delivered in last season before his move to England. It was his injury that destroyed his career.
Typical premier centric analist, nowadays they think it's the only league that exists
Jonathan Soriano could have been a good shout, swear he scored about 40 goals one season then was never heard of again lol.
Also Steffan Kiessling comes to mind
Bayern Lever striker. He had a good season or two but mostly did his job as a link up player.
Soriano scored 120 in 144 games for red bull Salzburg, he wasn't a one season wonder
Hey Alfie, will you release your documentaries on Turkey's Big Three (Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray, Beşiktaş)? I remember you teased them back in your Süper Lig video.
Pione Sisto! Totally forgot about him, he was great to watch!
How funny. Yesterday, i was literally just watching a previous video from you about one season wonders. And then i wake up, and i see this 😅
Currently doing a FM 10 notts county save. Nostalgia!
This gon be a good one I know
A video on the rise of Brighton would be lovely Alfie my friend
Piątek's fall from grace was quite depressing to watch. He was such a promising prospect for Poland and he cannot even reproduce what Milik does. It's a real shame, I'm afraid the way he is he'll end up back in the Polish league.
Had really high hopes for Milik and Piatek. They had great talent and a pretty good all around package for the striker position much like Lewandowski. I can't get my head around why they haven't fulfilled their full potential yet. Maybe it has to something to do with their club choice. I don't know.
@@davinnicode Milik had problems with injuries and couldn't find himself in Napoli after that. He's settled well in Marsille like 16 goals in 36 apps. so not bad.
Piątek on the other hand is just falling off a cliff and can't find his footing. He is a good footballer but can't produce.
Ailton for Werder Bremen in 03-04 would be my pick for that year. At 30, never been capped for Brazil single handedly won the league and cup. Never had anything remotely close to that season before or after.

For the whole 2011 summer transfer campaign AC Milan had this gimmick of a "Mister X" player that they would buy as a key piece for their midfield, for months the object of desire was Marek Hamsik, who played for my Napoli, however, Napoli was back in the Champion's League for the first time after 20 years, so they were not going to sell him. As a replacement, they bought Nocerino from Palermo more or less for free, however, surprisingly, Nocerino played so well in that season that Milan ultras even made a song for him, crowning him as the awaited "Mister X". I still remember my classmates singing that song during P.E. hours, it was actually quite catchy.
Time would show that Marek Hamsik was actually leagues above Antonio Nocerino, but during his initial season at AC Milan the difference seemed to be not that huge.
Bonus info on Pione: he didn't get selected for Midtjyllands squad this season because he got mad when he didn't start in friendly game, was lazy when he got on. Then when the sporting director told him that kinda of behavior wasn't okay and that he would get plenty of game time when the season starts. He said that Midtjylland isn't club for him anymore. So he now trains with the u19s until they have found a new club for him
I just knew at the start of the video Michu would be on here 🤣
Day 290: Indonesia XI If All Eligible Players Had Declared For Them.
Who are some of the examples for this?
@@Raunak164 I think Nigel de Jong was one
radja nainggolan & giovanni van bronckhorst
it’s been 300 days, take a hint
Keep dreaming bocah
After reading this title I immediately thought of Adnan Januzaj. England manager Roy Hodgson wanted him to play for England despite not even being English. He ultimately chose Belgium.
Maybe that is in the list of a player after a few games who people thought would be a legend.
Lol Januzaj was a 2 game wonder let alone 1 season 😂
@@robertdavies4318 he was class that season for us
Harsh on Hakan Yakin. Was a very good player.
As a gooner a mind Baptista came to us for a season for Reyes, a fkn loved Reyes but loved both. Madcsone of the players we've had
Please do an update video on Hull City. How the last season went since the new ownership, and how the next season may be
Day 1: Best XI with only trophy-less players. (Similar idea to "7 best players without trophies" but that was outdated and a XI would definitely be more intriguing.)
Martin Terrier a one season wonder? This is a lie. He was still just as good this season, he just got injured. He absolutely can't be considered as a one season wonder.
Honorable mention, James Rodriguez.
Ah, the 8-1 at Boro. I had the 'pleasure' of being in the Boro end, sussed at 3-1, and oh how we all celebrated every Boro goal like it was a cup final winner after that. All good natured though, which put a bit of a shine on a dismal day.
Bojinov is a FM 2007 and FM 2010 legend for me. Injured at Man City, never really the same player.
Sony's acrobatic against Juventus was a stunner🤯
If you, for whatever reason, decide to make an updated version of this. I would replace Simy with Patrick Bamford for the 2020-21 season because of how God awful he was back then and is now.
Michu was something else
