In the case of Sandro, it's not necessarily that Spurs made him a worse player than he already was, it's just that they emphatically failed to utilise him when he was clearly an important player and his career seemed to just stall at the club when it should have been flourishing. Subsequently, he has recently been sold to Queens Park Rangers - a huge step down in quality - where he has reunited with his former Spurs boss Harry Redknapp. Sandro arrived at Spurs for a bargain fee of around £8 million in 2010 as a 21-year-old who had already received full international recognition for Brazil. He immediately impressed with his tenacious and very non-Brazilian style, earning him the nickname "The Beast" from the Tottenham crowd. However, neither Harry Redknapp, Andre Villas-Boas, Tim Sherwood or, most recently, Mauricio Pochettino gave him a truly prolonged run in the team and he seemed to become the club's forgotten man, despite the fact he possessed obvious quality - and quality that was superior to the likes of Nabil Bentaleb who had jumped ahead of him.
