10 Blockbuster Signings That RUINED A Wonderkid!

On today’s video we count down ten big signings that ended up blocking the development of promising youngsters at their clubs – some have gone on to forge brilliant careers elsewhere, while others sadly never took off or are still waiting for their moment.

From Anthony Martial seeing his minutes chopped by Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s arrival at Man United, to Callum Hudson-Odoi finding chances hard to come by following the signing of Hakim Ziyech, there are a number of young players we have yet to see the very best from. We also look at Riqui Puig’s situation at Barcelona, and Bojan before him, as well as the effect Neymar’s big move to PSG had on Julian Draxler.

I don't know what's worse: suggesting Zlatan (a striker) blocked the development of Depay (a left-winger) or suggesting Bonucci blocked that of De Ligt/Romero/Demiral when Bonucci joined Juve a year BEFORE the other three..

Martial stagnating was never due to Ibra - his lack of work rate and attitude was his downfall

It's mind boggling how Puig has been so overlooked at Barca. The amount of energy, mobility and running power, as well as positivity this kid brings to the team, it's a wonder why he isn't starting every single game for them. Anyone who's seen him play should be able to appreciate that. But Barca? Nope. A travesty.

Ah yes, it was definitely lindelof and not a horrendous year-long injury, that stopped tuanzebe developing. Worst top 10 you've done.

[UNC.]

Yeah the arrival of a striker hindered the development of a left winger, good one lads 👍

[NineVader]

If you actually watch United you'd know it wasn't Zlatan's fault why Depay's form went, he was never consistent when he had a run of games it was evident he wasn't ready even LVG said he signed a year early because of Liverpools interest in him when Klopp first came

[finne_huefthoch]

Why should Barca rely on a talent like Bojan when they are in need of a true goalscorer alongside Messi. I think signing Villa was a good decision.

[abszero]

hazard to real madrid could have done that to either vini or rodrygo but it didn't worked out that way due to the injuries. Little off topic but you can make a cool video around the top 10 youngsters that took the spot of superstars or club legends in a team.

Brahim, more faith or more patience from the player? Foden got the same treatment and look at him now.

[JetFuelCantMeltAutismVaccines]

Apperantely any midfielder at Arsenal and Emanuel Frimpong

[andrethomas]

At 9:03 u can see martial turned into ashley young😂😂😂😂

I would never accept that signing of Zlatan hindered Depay's progress. He never got used to EPL...it's pace or it's physicality. He should have delayed the big move maybe a season late, took time to mature a bit more. I'm never a fan of clubs spending outrageous money on wonder kids...it just adds additional pressure on the poor kid for no fault of his. For every Bellingham you have 10 failed wonder kids

[MonkeBrain]

Martial had (still have) work rate problems and Depay had an attitude problem so it's not Zlatan's fault.

[EuroExpert_]

Thanks for including my suggestion! Great video! 🔥

[mibrahim]

Ziyech isn't a flop he just having a hard time

[AwakeningFromADream]

Alex Song to West Ham hindering Oxford

10 Players who betrayed their own club II

[InfinitesimallyInfinite]

As far as I know Bojan himself professed that the high expectations on him from Barcelona and fans ruined him. The expectations on him were very high as he was playing with Messi.

[joshuakumar]

Do top 10 players neglected by their manager

[Jonathan]

I'm amazed that Puig still wants to stay in Barca. The club has done nothing but screw him over and over.
