When I say "bluff" im referring to those playes who despite having a lot of potencial, never fulfill the expectations around them.

To me, some of the biggest bluffs in football are:
1. Recoba: he was one time the highest paid player in football, but in Inter he never was a determinant player.

2. Denilson: Betis paid 30 million Euros for him. In return, he was a average player.

3. Kezman: in PSV he was a machine, scoring goals with ease, but in Chelsea an Atlético Madrid...Not.

4. Palermo: only in Boca Juniors he play well...his experience in Spain was terrible.

I think other players are Cassano, Robinho, Anelka, and Adriano, although all of them have had at least a good couple of seasons at a high level.

In Football Manager, the biggest bluff I remember is Alexander Farnerud. Back in CM4 he was a complete whizkid so in every new game I played he was my first signing, but in real life he was only a average to mediocre player.
 
Freddy Adu, Rocco Quinn, Craig Beattie, Jeremie Aliadiere, Franny Jeffers, John Kennedy (through no fault of his own, he would've been a fantastic player if not for a horrific injury)
 
Every single striker Villa have signed for the past 10 years?
Milan Baros in particular
 
Danny Pacheco (Not being played), Damien Plessis, Francisco Duran, Harry Kewell, Djibi Cisse, Diao,
 
there are millions threads about this.
Freddy Adu.
 
How Forlan? Europa League winner and World Cup semi-finalist, and one of the best players in these competitions?
 
I thought it was potential when they signed for a club, but if it's in general potential then it would be Jo,
