    I agree to a certain extent,

    Kaka was crazy good at AC Milan.

    23 goals in 85 league appearances isn't too bad at Real Madrid, I can't remember if it were injuries that stopped him reaching the same levels he did in Italy?

    Elano.

    Brilliant for City under Sven but disappeared the following summer when the big money signings started coming in.

    Some good ones here but I wouldn’t include Baines. He played at a high level for Everton for many years.

    Think Baines' inclusion is very harsh mate

    Seen as he’s on punditry duties tonight Daniel Sturridge is worth a shout.

    I think it was the 2013-14 season where him & Suarez were unplayable. Some of the goals & assists they contributed were incredible. Unfortunately that was his peak & he was never really able to get through a season before or after without many injuries.

    Sorry thought that was the point of the thread. Players who were briefly brilliant and then faded away into mediocrity…

    Maybe I'm being harsh, but by tiny tiny little spell I'm talking about 15-20 minutes:D
