Players that stayed too long at lesser club

... and stagnated.

Sergej Milenkovic-Savic at the end of the season will be 28 and will have spent 8 seasons at Lazio. Not much to show for it in terms of trophies or prestige.

Hernanes spent too long at Sao Paulo before crossing the Atlantic.

Could say Gerrard and Kane but both have personally excelled despite their clubs not performing to highest standards or expectations.

Zaha possibly.

Any others that come to mind?

Pogba

Harry Kane doesn't have a single senior trophy to his name.

No matter what he shouldn't sign a new contract, then when 2024 comes around he has to sign for a team best placed to offer him that.

Only issue is, he is 73 goals short of Shearers record. He won't do that he 2 seasons, so he'll probably have to go on a free transfer to Chelsea or Liverpool or Us (us being less likely with Haaland).

If he doesn't value that record, or thinks he can come back at 35/36 and break it. Then he should go to Real Madrid or Barcelona, maybe Bayern or PSG but the German and French league may be frowned upon.
