Keggy_Keagal Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Ian Wright, watch some of his goals , ridiculous finishing. Treated appallingly by Graham Taylor. The point about Serie A is so true , Signori was incredible uptop for Lazio but was nearly always played on the left for Italy . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahoneys Tache Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Albert. Proper ball playing centre half. Rampaged forward beautifully. Once saw him backheel a ball onto some fucker with utter panache for a goal kick when we were under pressure and hanging out for a win. Fucknose against who but it was a level of defensive class that we’ve rarely seen in my time. special mention to Venison for the bicycle kick goal line clearance and the best haircut in football ever. edit: and Frank Clarke.

Can never be too full of hyperbole when you’re slagging Evil Chris who all the squad angrily don’t think is scum of the earth and fulfilled his one role of helping the club maintain PL status. Even more annoyingly this is worth way more than we paid for both him and the other Jan signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Any love for Joaquin of Betis? 51 caps, still playing at 42, revered as a god in Betis but much unloved anywhere else… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Think Mount is underrated internationally (domestically not so much). He’s had a quietly brilliant season as well. Edited May 10, 2022 by McCormick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 A lot of Brighton players are underrated as well; Trussard, Webster, Lallana and maybe Alzate don’t seem to get the plaudits they deserve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Dancer Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Not been through the thread but hoping Nobby Solano has a few mentions. 7/10 all of the time. Not mentioned in the same breath as Robert/Ginola and even Ben Arfa, but I’d have him over all of them. Loved him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly he could have, but I don't think that classes him as being underrated though Generally he seems to be fairly rated imo. He had a high ceiling and low floor, and was very inconsistent. Could play a worldly one week and aimlessly bumble around the pitch the next getting caught offside, making stupid fouls and fumbling the ball more than controlling it.

He was a one man wrecking crew, I think I posted something similar last month after coming across a biography on Sky, some of the finishes were outlandishly good. I think I always wanted a striker like that at Newcastle, his pace used to frighten the life out of defences. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) Underrated and overrated Overrated at the time - he wasn't Maradona, the step over and shift was a bit Walters/Robben/Beagrie repetative and the slightest thing seemed raved about. Underrated in the annals of time when you look back, feels almost forgotten now the original Ronaldo Edited May 11, 2022 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Nesta is one of those players that's in everyone's list. For me he's one of those I only ever saw on those big CL nights or in International competitions and he was every bit as good as his reputation suggested. I remember thinking "what's all this noise about this Seedorf fella?" And he just had everything. You never really saw such a clean technician in the PL at CM those days. Looked like he was built of granite. Controllling balls dead that came at him at weird angles. Silkiness on the ball like a 10. Pass it short, one touch, long, all there. I love a skilful, powerful, quick central midfielder. Very rare. I always thought Pogba was a spiritual successor, Camavinga too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
