Deuce Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Schweinsteiger is perhaps my favorite player to watch. Love his game. He is hardly unusual or uncool man! True enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
basjen Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Kevin Phillips - despite the obvious Sunderland link. Also Julia Arca 2000-2003. Agreed. For me the ultimate footballer crush is/was Tim Cahill. Really disliked his bust-up with Cabaye, which he seemed to have every reason for. For a while I also really enjoyed Cameron Jerome, must have seen his one good game thought it to be representative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Lucas Leiva This. Ricardo quaresma always loved watching him play Terrible player. Funny barca & inter didn't think so. Pretty sure they did considering they both flogged him after he flopped massively. Playing in the UAE whilst still in his 20s tells you all you need to know. Again it wasn't a lack of ability which lead to this it was his couldn't give a fuck attitude which lead to that. Back in the day he was pegged as having more ability than Ronaldo. I also had a big soft spot for Hugo Viana Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Sylvain Distin would be another one for me, Jagielka and Osman to a lesser extent too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Yakubu. Another one with the knack of just scoring for fun. We hear excuses for Cisse that he doesn't get service or whatever, he played for average teams like Portsmouth, Boro and one of the poorest Premier League teams since Derby 2007-8 in Blackburn, yet still banged them in. Ricardo Fuller. One of the most under-rated goals of the Premier League era when he skinned Laursen for Villa. If that had been a Bergkamp, Henry, Zola, it'd be one of the iconic Premier League goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Busquets, Mendieta and Veron... weren't they all more or less some of the best in their positions in Europe? I don't think they can be unfashionable really, even if the former is a cunt and the latter didn't come off in England/career tailed off in Mendieta's case.

Pilko Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I liked Moritz Volz and Paul Stalteri, both incredibly underrated fullbacks when they were at Fulham and Spurs respectively IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Quaresma was a proper 'big fish, small pond' player. He was absolutely brilliant at Porto, put in some cracking performances in the Champions League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Quaresma had a lot of talent, just had 0 motivation once he had provided enough money for his mother and family. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Quaresma's talent was overrated tbh, mainly due to the explosion of Youtube at a similar time. He was never as talented as the media claimed he was, did a few Rabona's and was considered gods gift to football. He was talented sure but never as talented as claimed, there's quite a few footballers who are like that actually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
