Traore? and Negrado certainly as a subI'd have put Victor Valdes in that bracket too, tbh.

And Stoke away.You must have missed Bournemouth away. Never forgive him for that display.
He received al kinds of abusive messages etc from a section of of our ‘fans’, including threats against him and his familyYes, yes, he was sold due to fan opinion, and nothing to do with his not wanting to play second tier football, the club wanting to offload a big contract, or the club being offered a decent fee for him...
Looked a good player. When he was with us first half of the season he made the opponent complete unforced errors
Yes sorry didn’t explain that well, dohIf he made them do it, is this not a forced error?
It is, but it's an unforced forced error.If he made them do it, is this not a forced error?
He got sent off for trying to win a free kick and a foul that wasn’t even a foul never mind a yellow. I just never thought it was as bad as everyone made it.You must have missed Bournemouth away. Never forgive him for that display.
Nothing to do with being relegated and happy to leave after one season to play for his old club in the Italian top flight?Hounded out of here by the idiot section of our ‘fans’
Agree with this. He never bossed games for us even on the occasions we did use him in his main position. I think people often forget that the Serie A standard is not what it was, and it certainly isn’t the PL.I must have been watching a different De Roon when he played for us.
People have always said he was a good player for us, i don't buy that personally, i was always massively underwhelmed by him.
Reason why......well, we obviously signed him as a defensive midfielder/"destroyer", and he quite simply wasn't doing the job well enough - hence why we pushed him further forward and reverted back to the clayton/leadbitter partnership.
Don't get me wrong, he scored some memorable goals (sunderland at home and city away) for us, but i don't think he was that great for us by any stretch.
Clearly a good player in general though.
I thought he was poor as well. He just ran about a lot without doing a great deal.I must have been watching a different De Roon when he played for us.
