Again, not overrated. (

Do you think Lampard has played well for England in general?
Do you think Bent was worth his price tag?

Chong Warrior · 6 Mar 2011 at 15:45

Lennon
Bale

All they do is kick the ball and run after it dead fast, no real end product, not enough goals and not as good as Messi.

Just thought I'd save half the forum the hassle

Nope, but the team hasn't been set up for his play style. Look at his record in the prem for chelsea to see that he isn't underrated.

His price tag was high but he is english and it was january. I don't believe that people generally overrate bent - he consistently scores goals season after season.

Dani Alves by an absolute mile.

He runs down the flank and has ZERO end product.

12 assists from 23 league games say otherwise as does the number of assists he's got in previous seasons

Edit: Read the whole thread twice and still managed to miss two replies saying exactly what I just said

stoke1863 · 6 Mar 2011 at 17:17

yea fair enough he has a suprisngly high number of assists. So the end product thing is off the mark from me.

but still just go and watch him play more than likley he messes it up and they get counterd

Rio Ferdinand

Benzema
Bale

So judging by this thread pretty much everyone is over-rated..

As a Newcastle fan I am very surprised no one has said Andy Carroll, had one good season in the championship and a good half season in the premier league but everyone this he is this wonder play all of a sudden and is certainly not worth £35million

Can't exactly rate someone that has hardly played.

Whole thread was stupid to start, it always just ends up as an out-controversial each other.

BaZ87 · 7 Mar 2011 at 00:27

Considering everybody said Carroll wasn't worth £35m, who is overrating him?

Tummy · 7 Mar 2011 at 00:31

Most of the players in the English top league.

A few good games makes you "world class".

Don't get me wrong, I think there are some very good players in the league, but the vast majority are over rated.

DanH84 · 7 Mar 2011 at 00:32

It'd be more interesting if you had to pick one player from your own team who you consider overrated. I'll start:

Suarez.

Tummy · 7 Mar 2011 at 00:33

Does anyone actually rate a Sheffield Wednesday player enough for them to be overrated?

DanH84 · 7 Mar 2011 at 00:34

heh good point.

You'll get the odd person doing that yes, but we're adults, those posts can be ignored. I didn't start this thread to cause controversy, I don't even support a football team.

Surely you must have an opinion on a player you feel doesn't deserve the praise he gets?

Charlie Adam?
