Well, let me back up that statement. These are the players I've spoken about in the last 3 years (in no particular order):

Origi, Paulinho (when kicked out by Tottenham, then bought by Barcelona for 50 million), Heung Min Son (huge hit, I knew him since he was worth a few million), Ozil flopping, Iwobi flopping, Alexis Sanchez flopping after Arsenal, Ivan Cavaleiro (most omportant man in Wolverhampton promotion to top league), Roberto Perreyra (very much hit in the PL for Watford), Felipe Anderson (huge hit in the PL, but ok, I admit he cost a lot of money at the moment I propositioned him), Chicharito, Lucas Perez, Batshuayi, Benteke flopping, Jordan Ayew flopping, Townsend succeeding at Palace when 99% here were against him 3 years ago, Bakary Sako flopping second time here, Martin Kelly not being a right back loong ago when Pardew was here and yall were saying he was correct, Milivojevic not being as great as you make him (maybe you can count this as a miss, but I stick by it, penalties are not definitory), Ryan Fraser, Yedlin, Matt Ritchie, Ashley Barnes not being worth it, same for Scott Arfield, same for Danny Ings, Knockaert, Andone, Izquierdo, Niasse (miss in the last season), Schurrle, Mitrovic not being worth it (you'll see next years), Cheryshev (huge hit at the World Cup!), Daniel Wass, Santi Mina, Sarabia (huge hit, just look at what he's done this season, I would have taken him when he was worth 2 million), Quincy Promes, Jony from Alaves (huge hit!), Guido Carrillo (semi-miss), En Nesyri, Christian Tello, Pione Sisto, Carlos Bacca, Kevin Kampl, Jonathan de Guzman, Sebastien Haller, Danny da Costa (and look where Eintracht Frankfurt is this year with these guys. Who knew that 2 years ago when they were 16th in the league? I did), Patrick Herrmann, Renato Steffen, Daniel Ginczek, Demirbay, Max Kruse, Kownacki, Takashi Usami, Boetius, Nils Petersen, Finbogasson, Papu Gomez (a long time ago and look at what he does now in the Serie A. Well, that if you know who Papu Gomez is and how much he is appreciated, kuddos if you do), El Shaarawy, Iago Falque, Joaquin Correa, Ciro Immobile (before he was at Lazio, when Dortmund and Sevilla weren;t using him much and he would have come to Palace for a small fee), Quagliarela (a really long time ago though, when he was at Juventus, I admit I didn;t write about him on this site, but he was always one of my favourites), Luis Muriel, Gervinho, Sansone, Orsolini (one of the best regarded and most expensive Italian youngsters now, you could have made a fortune with him), Stepinski, Jonathan Bamba, Betrand Traore, Memphis Depay (a long time ago, when nobody wanted him after United), Robert Beric, Ocampos, Lebo Mothiba, M'baye Niang, Hatem ben Arfa, Aaron Leya Iseka, Casimir Ninga.

I'm not gonna brag with what I didn't know or the Messis and Ronaldos everyone could see. But I knew these ones above since they were pretty affordable and they've tunred into some of the best goalscorers and assisters in the Top 5 leagues.

Also, look at my topics:
Dusan Tadic last summer. Where is Dusan Tadic now and what has he done this season?

UNKNOWN Qatar striker Abdulla who I made the topic about before the Asian Cup had even started and he went on to be the best player and top goalscorer.

Out of all these players who I talked about here and especially the ones who were affordable, I can;t name another except Niasse who is having a bad season.

Ok, Wilshire and Jovetic are injury prone, but they wouldn't have been my first choices either, as I've said numerous times in Wilshire related threads.

From the strikers who I named as the best possibilities in attack, all have done extremely well since then (except for Sala, God rest his soul and Leigh Griffiths, who has been injured all season- not my fault)

[Link]

The one I named as the best deal if we couldn-t afford Sala (last post on the page), Tiquinho Soares, who Porto was willing to let go for 5-10 million, has gone on to score 22 times and assist 6 times in 2600 minutes played for Porto, getting with them to the last 8 of the Champions League and growing his value to more than 30 million.

Look at these no-name guys I talked about 1 year ago, players from the Netherlands and from other medium-level leagues.

[Link]

Look at what they've done this season and where they are now (unless they got injured, like Kakuta or Saymak).

That Kristoffer Petersen fellow scored 12 and assisted 5 in the first league in the Netherlands. Did anyone else think he could do this?

Zeneli was bought by mid-table French Reims for just 4 million this winter after 3 goals and 12 assists in the Netherlands and has already scored 2 and assisted 3 in France. It's just a really, eally small fee for what he offers and his re-sale value, cause he's just 24 years old. These you can call terrific deal-making!

Jonathan Bamba was taken free of contract by Lille, is now their best player alongside Nicolas Pepe, qualified with them to the Champions League being 2nd place in the French ligue and worth over 40 million. That's a good deal!

Absolutey everyone from here keeps on doing well!
