Most Overrated Footballers?
« on: May 4, 2011, 05:09:17 pm »
Who are the most overrated footballers?

Personally I think Carrick is the most overrated footballer followed closely by Chiellini.

I don't agree, I think Henderson has great vision, touch and eye for goal

alot like Michael Johnson did for a season at City, hope he doesn't go the same way

even united fans i know don't rate carrick so i don't know how he can be overrated. chiellini is a strange choice aswell he is probably underrated in this country like a lot of italian players are.

Bale. If you think Glen Johnson can't defend, try watching Bale at left back

'Arry put him on the wing because of injuries no? Then he played well and England's great 'Arry took the plaudits for his tactical masterstroke.

I like Huddlestone too, if he could be a proper professional and lose 16 pounds he could be a magnificant playmaker - fact he turns like a horse at the moment limits him, still good though

Busquets
The one most important thing that we all must remember, in case it slipped our mind, is this club is much more important and bigger than anybody. I'll never forget that and anybody that does is being a wee bit irresponsible and stupid I think because the club is more important than any one individual. The Club is, The Club.

To say Ferdinand is overrated is bullcrap. Yes, he is not as good as he was but I rate him higher than Vidic to be honest. Overrated though; Joe Hart, Cassano and Fabiano

Surprised nobody has mentioned Gareth Bale.

After the two Inter performances he was being mentioned in the same category as messi!

What has he done since then?

You are not allowed to pay compliments to United players. That said, that bastard is better than the other bastard that wears the armband for them.

Khedira for me. He got a lot of plaudits last summer for 'replacing Ballack' at the World Cup. Thing is, he only really replaced him on the team sheet. It was Ozil and Schweinsteiger who ran the show.
