#5 Javier Hernandez – Bayer Leverkusen
When Manchester United signed striker Javier Hernandez in 2010, everybody wondered why Sir Alex Ferguson signed this relatively unknown forward. Months later it didn't take long for people to witness Hernandez' talent, and he helped guide United to title success in 2011.
Nonetheless, ‘Chicharitio’ dwindled off the scene in the years to come at Old Trafford and became nothing more than a sporadic squad player. In 2015, he moved to Bayer Leverkusen after a poor loan spell at Real Madrid. After a fantastic first season at the BeyArena, the Mexican is yet again struggling.
This season, with Hakan Çalhanolu missing, Hernandez went sixteen games without scoring a goal for his side – but has been continuously linked with a move to the Premier League.
Sadly, the 28-year-old continues to live off a predatory reputation he built up almost five years previously. Going six months without a goal should have been enough to convince people to realise he's nothing more than average and needs someone to create opportunities for him.
Ask yourself this, if the Mexican international was still considered a great striker, then why at 28-years of age were his club searching for an MLS club to sell him to in January?
