Players who have not lived up to their bad press

[Up-the-slope]

Hertha Berlin coach Pal Dardai on Myziane Maolida: "We haven't forgotten about him. But he should find a club where he can play and leave us as quickly as possible. He had many chances, I've seen few players in my life as lazy as him."
Following on from this corker of a quote from Maolida's manager - and how he has performed thus far....

What other players can you think of who were panned by one manager or club... only to excel elsewhere?

He's found a club. I'm sure we can do our pal Pal a favour and take him off their hands for nothing. From what he says it would surely be a kindness :greengrin

Does anyone know who scouted him? I mean, he's a pretty random pick for an SPL team. Looking like a good one though.

Maolida had a ropey debut after being thrown in but I think it's obvious he has quality.

Don't think he's been particularly lazy as a winger / forward - have seen him close down and track back at times. I wasn't expecting him to graft like a centre midfielder :dunno:

Manager making Maolida scapegoat as Hertha in Bundesliga 2 being high earner ?

Don’t think many teams scout in the traditional sense now, it’s all done on Wyscout before watching in person (if they are watched in person).

Likely his agent would have been trying a number of avenues and we’ve cropped up somewhere along the line.
