The Scum scout who recommended Taibi as Schmeichels replacement.

Veron

What did that transfer have to do with scouting?

Nothing Assassin, absolutely nothing :handshake :

Collymore.

I thought his style was similar to the real ronaldo. He didnt quite turn out that way for us.

Jesper Olsen

Amazing at Ajax and flopped at Utd

Went to a Sportmans dinner a few years ago and Norman Whiteside was a speaker, he mentioned that Olsen was probably the best ever player he'd ever seen on a training field, and that included Maradona, Cryuff, Laudrup, Van Basten, etc, etc.
Stick him on a competitive match and he was, in his words "****in ****e"

When did Whiteside ever get on the same training field as Cryuff, Laudrup, Van Basten?

Litmanen and Morientes both had amazing careers overall though.
Neither are really examples of young players who failed to live up to their potential, they're just players who didn't work out while at Liverpool.

Yes, I may have gone from young signing fails to any signing fails....
