Players that have great debuts then turn crap

It doesn’t alter the fact Charvet was in completion for the same place when they were both fit Edgie was injured most of that season, and you used a stat to try and prove he was crap because he didn’t play.

I think there could be many many players in here. We seemed to have decades where we’d buy someone half decent and manage to coach them into becoming shitter.

Maybe it was the weather or the culture at the club. I’m not getting specific but for some reason I used to end up going to a lot of first games of the season and saw plenty of good debuts only for them to fade into mediocracy.

I don’t know why I just thought of this & it doesn’t really fit in here but Hughes starting Ched Evans ahead of Sturidge was always a Welsh mystery...

This thread should be renamed the Mangala thread, he optimized this.

Bianchi to a lesser extent.
Castillo not so much his debut but all the hype about him paying to come and he fell apart immediately.
