Has there ever been a more over rated player in the history of the game ? why is the ridiculous price tag of £25m always quoted alongside this fella. Useless full back, can't tackle, his strength is supposed to be going forward, little end product and can't go a game without picking up a yellow card.

Thought he was brilliant last season.

Not so much this

As Cripps says he seems to have lost his way this season probably due to his head being turned by the big clubs offers. I rate him, more as a winger than a defender because he's superb going forward on his day.

He's like Eboue IMO. Play him as a winger and he'll be lost. Although he is much more versatile.

Mancini and Taddei of Roma are overrated as well.

Put Wesley Sneijder in the overrated list as well.

The Dutch Frank Lampard. :good:

Mancini isn't.

Taddei is.

Also, Ivan Cordoba.

He's been living off his reputation for the past 4 years..

Mancini is a flat track bully, definitely overrated. Who rates Taddei? Underrated if anything.

Bastian Schweinsteiger is also another one. For Germany he plays in a sensational manner, for Bayern he's invisible.

BM - Mancini a flat track bully? :blink:

Also, Maicon is twice the player Alves is.

Oh and Lukas Podolski is also another for the overrated thread.

As is Sidney Govou.

:rolleyes:

Daniel Van Buyten as well. Big Lump who's just good at heading.

Que?

Seen him play for Real this season?

Absolute quality.

Coca - Yes, always around when the Catania's and Atalanta's come to town but nowhere to be seen in the CL. I hope Roma sell him off while the memory of his goal against Lyon is still fresh in people's minds

Raul Tamudo, so underrated. :good:

I'll say Underrated, you say Overrated, alright CK?

Michael Essien

Meh.

He's been carried by others in the team.


A few more overrated one's:

Simao
Zambrotta
Nakamura
Klose

:dunce:


ps, I agree with Raul Tamudo, and is genuinely unlucky to be playing in the Raul era of Spain.

Ottl
Guiza
Julio Cesar
Martin Jorgensen
Poulsen
Aquafresca
Cassano
Lavezzi

Which reminds me of the Keita brothers of Lyon and Sevilla. Two great players.

I'll name some of the players I think are underrated and you name players who you think are overrated.

:goodpost:

Tim Borowski is overrated.

Agger
Liverani
Pazzini
Moggi
Ujfalusi
Cambiasso
Mutu - As good as Ibra
Neuer

Cambiasso is frelling quality.

But hes Argentinian so :goodpost:

- Overrated.
- Never seen him play.
- Underrated.
- Never seen him play.
- Neither here nor there.
- Underrated.
- Underrated.
- Never seen him play.

Balotelli - Better than Pato
N'Kufo
Afellay
Seedorf
Nihat
Sahin
De Guzman

Am I missing something? Does the "Good Posting" emoticon mean something different now?

- Overrated, he's not better than Pato.
- Never seen him play.
- Underrated.
- Hmm..thats a toughie..Underrated.
- Underrated.
- Neither here nor there.
- Underrated.


BM, what do you think of Kader Keita?

You're right, the Scousers overrate all their players. You've never seen Liverani play? :blink: Ex Lazio captain and current Fiorentina Vice captain!

I must have seen him play then. I've seen Fiorentina quite a bit this season. Honestly, I don't know who he is.

BM, your opinion on Inler and Zapater?

Balotelli will be better

He is currently better than Pato, who I rate very highly.

Has been awful for Lyon this season, but was one of the best players in the ACON, it's a toughie. I'd take a gamble on him simply because of the flair Keita has, we badly need it at the club IMO.

Continuing my list:

J. Moutinho
Toulalan
Distin
Beye
Giovinco
Mandanda

- Underrated - the next Deco.
- Underrated, a better Flamini.
- Neither here nor there.
- Habib Beye? - Overrated.
- Underrated.
- Never seen him play.

Keita - I'd take a gamble on him. If I was a manager of a PL club and needed some attacking midfielders, he'd be on the top of my list.

Zapata is close to World Class already. Very Versatile too, Id pay over the odds to see him play at CB for us. :good:

I've only seen Inler twice at the U21 Champioships for Switzerland, didn't particularely impress me. Good technique for a tall fellow.

Quagliarella
Makaay
Gio Van Bronkhorst
Dembele
D'Agostino
Ledesma
Mutarelli
Fritz

CK - Im naming all my Underrated players, Im not asking you to choose what you think. I'd like to see you make a list of players you think are overrated. :good:
