Dont quite agree with you examples. Deco came to chelsea as a 'pet' of scolari and ended up causing changing room unrest. He really didnt click in the physical game. Can you compare him to for example Modric of spurs? Nope.
Ballack had his good years but overtime he aged. Wasnt quick enough recently. Mikel is doing Ballack's job.
Kalou has not been wasted. He players often and with chelsea's formation he cant always start. Also note that Kalou cant bag-in as many goals as say Drogba or Anelka. I also think he holds the ball for too long and tries too many fancy strikes. Do you see him starting for any of the top four as a lone striker?
Owen's Man-u contract was a case of He needing Man-u more than Man-u needing him.

I however agree with you Milner is making a mistake going to mancity. But i think the salary has him hooked!
