Whatever happened to........... (forgotten expensive footballers)


Recommended Posts

The one that always gets me is Gaizka Mendieta.  A man that once cost Lazio €48m is now rotting in Boro reserves.

 

hasnt he ben released?

dunno.  I went on wiki to check the fee and found this....

 

On 6 Dec 2007, according to a Spanish Newspaper, Mendieta announced his retirement from professional football when his Middlesbrough contract expires at the end of the 2007-08 season.[2] However according to the Official Middlesbrough Football Club Website, Mendieta has denied this alleged announcement, expressing his desire to play after his contract expires. In local reports he has stated that he and his family are happy living in the area and wants to play for another north eastern team.
