Most Overrated Footballers

To get the ball rolling, I'll put Ibrahimovic out there. Granted, he's a brilliant player, and he scored that stunning goal against England. But I just get bored of hearing about his antics and this #DareToZlatan nonsense.

And to a lesser extent, Januzaj, but I put this down to not being nurtured properly by Van Gaal & not fitting their system very well.

Falcao. Moving brick.
Januzaj was hugely overhyped when he was in form imo and think that this is clearly starting to show with his below par performances this season.
Never understood the love for Pedro tbh.

Coentrao as well.
Clearly David Luiz in FIFA's books.

Lol (you still lost to the better team yesterday:smile:)

I think it is Harry Kane

Kompany. His game is riddled with mistakes. Laughable that he's been called the best defender in the premier league and one of the best in the world.
Gareth Bale
Whole tottenham team apart from Lloris & Eriksen

This. Complete fraud still trading on his 2011/2012 season.
Messi until he plays in the premier league
Ronaldo.



although in his defence he is great at heading

By that logic, pele, maradona, Zidane, ronaldo, ronaldinho etc etc are all overrated. Yes?
Heskey has more Premier League goals than Messi, that's all I'll say

No because those players all won the world cup, messi wasn't good enough to carry argentina like maradona did.
Yet if Higuain/Aguero had buried their chances in the final, people would say he is the best because they won the final. People place way too much importance on the World Cup and where it places a player in terms of their status. People always say George Best was one of the greatest of all time yet he never even played at a World Cup, similar story with Di Stefano. Legendary club players.

and Drogba. Criminally underrated player. Ignore the fact his shot to goal ratio is about 6%
Kompany, Ibra are the two biggest frauds around atm.
Khedira is a massive fraud.
Most of manchester united's current squad.

Paul Scholes.

Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, guy does a few tricks after losing the ball leaving the whole team susceptible to a dirty counter and he's praised for it. Does well every few big games though.

While I'm at it, Varane is overrated at this moment in time.
