There’s a lot of players who come to the prem with insane hype and fail, but im curious about the inverse of this.
C Palmer for sure
Mo salah
Fellaini when he came to us
A lot of people were waiting for Kane to suddenly stop performing
Demba Ba. He was all dodgy knee and not good enough in the lead up to Newcastle signing him. Then we signed him and yeah…
Trossard I thought was overhyped but he’s been great for Arsenal
Craig Dawson when he came to WHU
Nani
Lewandowski when he showed in the Euros. Thought he was just a classic tall slow piece of shit of a striker. Oh boy was I wrong.
When did Lewandowski come to the prem? The question and the Reddit sub is about prem.
Anthony Gordon. What a fucking workhorse he is, when he first came up here I was thinking we’ve thrown 40 mill out the window on some Scouse bellend. And he didn’t really do much in his first season.
But ever since the U21 euros he’s been on a mad one, so important for us especially considering Barnes is out
Ibra at united. I thought he’d come for a pay day. But he scored a lot of goals and shut me up.
Peter crouch
Coutinho
Diego Costa
Eden Hazard when he arrived at Chelsea. I saw what he did at Lille but thought he would struggle to adapt to the Premier League and be average at best. I was very wrong.
