Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [5th - 8th May 2012]

My point was that the fans, in each of the above cases, went from thinking that the players were overpriced to singing their names, often in the space of a few games. Berbatov went from being "Berbatoss" in one season to being loved by Utd fans the next. Drogba was seen as a bit of a joke (despite having an OK first season) and is now one of the most respected strikers around. All fans are fickle.

Grant Holt is the exception to this, he was treated like a Demi-God from day one at Norwich ;)
 
Didn't used to think he did anything, at all. Seems quite good this season though
Gets on the score sheet now and again, although mostly against the bottom half teams so in some peoples eyes they don't actually count as real goals, but it's his link up play and intelligence on and off the ball that we'll miss more.
 
Maxi is Liverpool's version of Park, good pro, appreciated by intelligent fans but lets be honest they're not great players
 
Such a shame to see how far Essien has fallen, 3 years ago he was so good, always difficult to see a previously great player just not fast/strong/fit enough, reminds me a bit of Kaka, even though he's picked it up recently

Possibly the most over rated player ever
