They couldn't

They flopped. Vieira gets a pass since he was 60 or whatever.

What's your point.

Doesn't take away that they were legends but they were shit in Italy.

Well that's false since Bayer really didn't want to lose him and he was one of their better players in 13-14.

I was actually referring to Viera's time in AC Milan before he went to Arsenal.

Point is that it's not as simple as, "they could not cut it" they were MISUSED. Henry would have cut it if he was played CF instead of left wing on Juve, Viera would have cut it if Milan gave him acceptable game time, Bergkamp would have cut it if Inter did not change coaches more frequently than prime Perez.

De Bruyne and Di Maria were misused just like these three were. Writing them of as "they could not cut it" is ignorant.

Bergkamp was crap in Serie A but he was the difference maker in Uefa Cup '94 won from Inter tbh ( even top scorer in that tournament) . So he suffered Serie A more than Inter imo .
Players can have a problem of adapation in first year ,it's nothing of strange.
Felipe Anderson was a distant second POTY last year after a crap season just the previous year for example.
This is another reason why I ' d keep Shaqiri , but I think his "exile " was not a matter of football.
" I know the reason why Inter want to get rid of Shaqiri , they said me , but I can't reveal it "
(Rummenigge)
It looks like if he did someting work who has nothing to do with football .

Ah shit, should have played Downing as an AM and Carroll as a CB, then they wouldn't be flops.

Uhm hmm I deleted anyway (you faster than Walcott to respond hmm ) because I  think to have understood wrongly the sense about this thread, at the beginning I thought it had to do simply with players who haven't performed in certain leagues and great in others hmm

Actually this was an off-topic discussion that derailed the Transfer rumours thread and I thought instead of telling people to shut up, I might do them a favour and split this into an extra thread where they could continue....

i think there should be a clear definition of a 'flop' or 'not cutting it'. take ze roberto for instance, a class player, he was never given enough chances at madrid to start and show what he can do consistently, i'm not sure its fair to say he flopped or couldn't cut it. robben- injured his first year at madrid, did well in the second, but the team was poor and sold in the third, its not like when he played he was garbage

i think a flop or a person who can't cut it is one of three scenarios;
1.) the player is given chance after chance to show what he can do, but never comes close to replicating what he did in his previous club (obviously the player has to be at the peak of his career, we can't label a 34/35 year old new signing as a flop cos he's not playing how he did when he was 27). in this regard, dennis bergkamp was a flop at inter, he was given opportunities and hardly produced

2.) the player is signed for huge fee, but can't prove himself due to being out of favor, injured, is garbage, etc...note, i said earlier injuries, feud with coaches, lack of playing time shouldn't automatically throw you in the flop pile, cos you didn't get a fair shot at showing your potential. BUT when you are signed for 30 plus million, that tag means a lot, it means you can't afford to get injured and not show your talent cos huge risks have been taken to bring you over; wages have been cut, budgets have been adjusted, people in the franchise have been let go, all to accommodate you;

based on that, ibra, di maria, kaka, schevchenko, would be flops- not because the league was too strong for them, but, they couldn't live up to the responsibility that came with the price tag, (staying fit, getting along with the manager, teammates, training sessions etc).

rivaldo at milan for instance, despite getting the garbage award in italy wasn't a flop. he was signed for free, and the coach hardly gave him playing time. when he played he wasn't all of a sudden missing open nets, blocking teammates shots, tripping while attempting dribbles

3.) a player who's just plain garbage, regardless of transfer fee ala heinze at madrid, jonathan woodgate at madrid, drenthe, fabien barthez at utd, luque at newcastle and many more

if a player wasn't used properly or wanted a different move and clearly wasted a year, they can't be called flops imo.

if your at your best, giving it your all and still couldn't handle it, then fair enough.
