Guest ManDoon Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Possibly NWOAT but I’ll kick off with: Declan Rice - plenty of similar players is Europe Modric - very good player, nowhere near the level of the players he’s mentioned with and shouldn’t have won a Ballon D’Or Meslier - for the life of me I can not give any reason why people rate this kid. He’s horrible Edited May 9, 2022 by ManDoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a colossal waste of money, he will find you a more athletic version in Europe for half the cost Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Lukaku would be my modern shout. Always thought Beckham was a bit overrated too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible delivery of a football but lacked a lot of other aspects. Not sure he’d survive todays super high press game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) First ones that come to mind Lukaku - a player who's only good when played as part of a 2 is not a £293.5m (combined) player. Ederson - great 'keeper and excellent with his feet, but makes way more mistakes than his reputation would have you believe and gets away with clattering people because he's at Man City Jorginho - an absolute party pooper of a footballer. Completely boring and uninspiring. Was 3rd for the Balon D'or which is insane. Alvaro Arbeloa - the epitome of a punching above his weight footballer for me. Had an absolutely amazing career considering how much of an average shithouse he was every time I saw him. Raul - Never ever got the hype to the extent that it went to. Very good striker with a class record, but you'd have thought he was an all-time great the way the media went on when he was playing. There's another player as well, but it'll kick off a different debate that's been done to death. Edited May 9, 2022 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ManDoon Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Couldn’t agree more on Jorghino and Ederson. I loved Raul though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Pinkman Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) To be fair I thought Declan Rice was class in the Euro’s. One of Englands best players. Too add my own Pulisic. He seems shite for 4 games and then has one decent game. Not a top level player. Edited May 9, 2022 by Jesse Pinkman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Boy Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Neymar- don't get the hype of him. He is a good player but not world class and goes missing in action at international level Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpersForGoalposts Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Rooney - Decent striker in an excellent team. Played too deep and dined off the 1% of his long shots that went in or the pels that he dived for. Messi - Never played in the PL like Ronaldo did, so will always have a question mark over him being GOAT. Beckham - Bang average journeyman carried by his decent crossing. Without his image, would have been instantly forgotten. Kane - Plays too deep yet plays as a poacher. Good finisher, but would be genuinely class if he had the backbone to play as a genuine 9. Adds little beyond his goals. Bring on the hate! Edited May 9, 2022 by JumpersForGoalposts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I'm canny fascinated by those players that are all over the place with how they're rated. There's those that are deemed so over-rated for whatever reason that they end up being criminally underrated (Beckham, Henderson) Those that always get labelled as underrated but either aren't, or get called underrated so often that it's clear they aren't (Makelele, Kante) There are other categories like that as well, I just can't remember Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmesy Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Sergio Ramos - absolute shit-house clogger playing in soft leagues, with brilliant players around him and given a very long leash by referees because of the teams he played for.
