Carlos Alberto.

Was doing pretty well for Porto as a youngster, even played and scored in the CL final vs Monaco under Mourinho.

Lasted only 20 something game overall and has ended up back in Brazil.

I dont know how he is doing there but for whatever reason, he never made in Europe like it seemed he should.

I dont know but I see a lot of talented youngsters fail to make it to the top in Italy. Do you think the co-ownership/loan system they have prohibit their opportunity to progress/to be introduce into the first team at the suitable time?

Robinho actually isn't bad...

Both were expected to be the new big things in football, to dominated the world of football for many years...
