Permiership's most over/under rated player?

[-Jason-]

In your opinion who do you really think is over and under rated in the premiership and for what reason?

Also who do you think is over and under valued? ie ronaldo is not worth anywhere near 70m?

Discuss

[Pat_Vts]

ronaldo is worth 70m to man u

not sure if he'l be the same player at madrid

most undervalued player in primership i dont know because i dont follow football very closely just at a distance

[Karl]

That comment says i.e before it,
meaning its a given example ;)

[Robb]

Tony Yeboah.

[Tupps]

Shay Given is under rated imo.... Class goalkeeper that boy

[David]

i'm a united fan, and even i reckon Ronaldo is the most overrated...

[Craddock]

Ronaldo has got it all, the skill, the pace, the height, the freekick, the goals.

[Ferg]

Tony Yeboah.

LOL ... Best Prem goal ever!

[Karl]

Cracking goal, for leeds wasnt it?

[-Jason-]

I believe so kraig

[browne174]

david healy imo

when he plays for NI, he shows that he can be the best.

Fulham paid £1.5m for him, i dare say sunderland paid less

[Mrk1]

Indeed it was, 97/98 season iirc. Chest, knee, pow! - goalkeeper retrieves.

Most over rated player.... Ronaldo obviously & Shevy was a let down tbh.

[smiith]

ronaldo = worlds most over rated player... should be in olympics for diving!

[Karl]

lol @ Ronaldo comments.
Cracking player,
yes diving does ruin any player.
Not think some players are told to go in hard on him?

[Tupps]

Ronaldo is a fantastic player.... nobody can take that away from him

He does himself no favours by diving though

[smiith]

I admit he is an amazing player, its just the fact he finds it easier to cheat for what he wants, rather than actually play for it.

[seat-craig]

ashley young most underated player why is he not in the england squad. im sorry we have had 3 managers all who have said they are going to change things and who have all had the same team.

most overated i recon is rooney?

[Karl]

He 'aint no where near as bad as he used to be.
If you want a diver,
moan @ Drogba,
guys infamous for it. and he's bloody massive.

Agree on overrated rooney.

[smiith]

i cant say i watch football that often tbh, im a leeds fan :P u blame me?

yeboah's goals for leeds were immence tbh, had some phat skills.

[Krys_23]

Ashley Young is immense..

Rio Ferdinand = Overrated he's ball bag.

[Scattle]

Rio Ferdinand = Overrated he's ball bag.

Your having a laugh, been immense last few seasons.

[Karl]

yeah, disagree,
Ferdinand is Uniteds back four, lets not say peoples name just 'cos you dont like them. lol.

[smiith]

Your having a laugh, been immense last few seasons.

but he left leeds for scum, so he gets dissowned ;) same with alan smith, both great players, but special alan smith "i will never leave leads for money, or the fact they arnt doing well" 2 weeks later facked off to utd

[Peejous]

Everyone in the premiership is overated... its all about the championship.

(Yes I cry at night because my team aren't "up there")

[AdamW]

Michael Owen = Over Rated

Under Rated = Theo Walcott.

Lad is gonna be amazing this season

[Scattle]

Career at the end of the day, onwards and upwards but see your point.

[Karl]

What does you thinking they're scum gotta do with over/underrated? lol.

[seat-craig]

but he left leeds for scum, so he gets dissowned ;) same with alan smith, both great players, but special alan smith "i will never leave leads for money, or the fact they arnt doing well" 2 weeks later facked off to utd

its modern day football for you. say i was at leeds and loved it loved the players staff etc and then you suddenly have united offering you 50 grand a week unexpectedly your going to snap there hands of for it why wouldn't you no matter how much you love leeds.

also rio is amazing.

[Tupps]

I can see Nasri turning into a cracking player !

[Karl]

Hi would you like to earn 4 x more than you're earning now,
and actually win stuff for your effort?



...."Nah mate, I'll stick with Leeds thanks."

[duffy_89]

Ashley Young without a doubt is the premiership's most underrated player! He is class, he should be starting for england.. He plays like a winger should.

Most overrated player... were to start!?! Just to name afew.. Lampard, shevchenko, Malouda, obi.. As you can tell i hate chelsea.

[Cal]

People bum football manager games way too much these days.

Robbie Savage - Best in the world

[Danr]

Lampard is over paid.
Bentley is over rated imo.
Glen Johnson is under rated.

alan smith wasnt offered all that much more than he was getting at leeds...

plus leeds gave him his career, he played for junior teams, then second team, then leeds united... just abit shit he makes that speech, then facks off

Haw can you say malouda and jon obi mikel are over rated they are 2 great players.

Mikel is still only like 22 iirc so huge time to get better

[seat-craig]

mikel is awesome just a bit uncivilized.

[flee123]

Ashley Young is by far the most under rated! Think he may change that this season, should without a doubt be in the England squad.

Most over rated is Michael Owen. So past it now, and still getting paid stupid amounts of money for doing fuck all for the toon!

[Jimmy-Boy]

geovani underratted and drogba over rated imo

[GirlRacerSian]

I personally think football on a whole is over rated esp David 'sodding' Beckham.

[-Jason-]

drogba over rated imo

Oh get fucked what makes you think he is over rated?

Because he scores more than most other strikers in the league?

[phillyh]

Aaron Lennon - mega under-rated imo

He's awesome

[Jimmy-Boy]

Oh get fucked what makes you think he is over rated?

Because he scores more than most other strikers in the league?

no, i just think he is over rated.. only my opinion sheash..

90% of all the originally good people that do move to chelsea do get over rated and become shit..

would name but list would kill my fingers let alone wear out the keyboard

:panic: :panic: :panic: :panic: :panic: :panic:

[seat-craig]

Aaron Lennon - mega under-rated imo

He's awesome

im sorry but i have to disagree there Lennon is terrible he makes these really good runs and then puts a ridiculous cross in that goes straight over the goal. he also has no shot on him at all. he can skin 5 players but NO END PRODUCT!

[phillyh]

He's still young, he'll get better, deffo a future mega star though.

[seat-craig]

He's still young, he'll get better, deffo a future mega star though.

ye agree with you there hes young and got plenty of time to improve we will just have to wait and see what happens

[grantlowery]

I would of said Keane untill he moved to Liverpool for £20 mil, he must be highly regarded at that price.

Over rated I would say....there are to many overated players to just name one.

[jaybiss]

last year, stephen kelly was mega under rated

never missed a minute and never really had a poor game

at the minute i think

Owen is over rated

Wilson Palacious under rated ;)

[Mrk1]

Under rated - David Wheater he's an excellent defender, strong aerial presence, good leadership, aggressive & can score goals! Hope to see lots from him this season!

I'll agree with Ashley Young being under rated aswell, great player!

[richiepikka]

i think david bentley is well over rated everyone raves about him....why, and to the ronaldo haters 42 goals in a season...say no more

[Ben]

Diouf.

[Xsi16v_Jk]

AGBONLAHOR, YOUNG!

Will be running england in a few years!!

Young talented players!

[pollard313]

Under rated: Wes Brown. What a season he had last season! He's never been given the credit he deserves. OR Jimmy Bullard. I would LOVE to see him take lampards place in the england team. 110% every game and a free kick specialist.

Over rated: Darren Bent. What a waste of £16m

[Furio_Rob]

Ronaldo has got it all, the skill, the pace, the height, the freekick, the goals.

gay tbh

dunno about most over rated but theres a few

torres, rooney, lampard, terry

same with underated tbh

i definately agree with tupps, given is under rated alot.

as for over paid, michael owen end of

[Cupra-Craig]

AGBONLAHOR hes gunna be a top english striker an which will score goal unlike most.

Rooney is the most over rated player ever

[Yates]

Under rated - David Wheater he's an excellent defender, strong aerial presence, good leadership, aggressive & can score goals! Hope to see lots from him this season!

I'll agree with Ashley Young being under rated aswell, great player!

im glad you said that about wheater as i was going to list him

personally think downing gets overrated at times

cattermole hopefully prove his worth for wigan this season, he should play ever game and prove that boro were wrong to get rid of him

pogatez doesnt get credit either and hes awesome

yes im just naming boro players lol

ronaldo is overrated, but hes worth what someone else wants to play, and if real think hes worth that then he is, i dare say he would make money back within a few seasons for them, even if they didnt win things

vidic and evra get underated i think, always about ferdinand in uniteds back four, of course ferdinand is awesome

bouba diop is awesome just cos of his name... but he can hit a ball

matty taylor

as said ashley young, also agbonlahor (sp)

heskey is another one, hes a work horse, might not score too much but works all day for you, again i think rooney does the same, doesnt score than many but think hes awesome in what he does, battles all day

given is an awesome shot stopper, not too good on crosses, but hes defo worth 10 points a season

[Yates]

gay tbh

dunno about most over rated but theres a few

torres, rooney, lampard, terry



torres just broke the record for number of goals scored in a debut season for a over seas player lol

rooney why is he over rated? he didnt have the best of seasons, but what is he 21? 22? hes awesome, work rate just doesnt stop

lampard again, people who dont watch chelsea say this because the papers do, how many times did you actually watch him? or like everyone else do you pick on his cos hes mentioned as the reason england keep doin bad, he was awesome for chelsea, as he always is, no matter what you say hes good for 15 goals a season

terry - have you been drinking to even consider adding him to the list? other than charging up to refs and swearing, this guy is a great role model and a old school defender, straight in there, excellent captain and leads by example, pumps up the team when needed...

as a team the england team are overated, i hope capello puts in players this season who deserve to be in there and who are on form, and who really show passion, like jole cole, ashley young, john terry, david wheater, gab agbonlahor

[blusax]

david james 2nd best ever premiership goal keeper. i seen some impressive stats about him someowhere, i'll try and find it

just make some real bad mistakes sometimes

plus he's quite talented up front

[Jimmy-Boy]

Given is world class.. just saved a brilliant penalty :y:

[Davekelz]

gay tbh

dunno about most over rated but theres a few

torres, rooney, lampard, terry

All class players, how are they overrated?

Torres scored a shit load of goals in a debut season, how in the world is he over rated?

I think Steve Finnan has been a rock in Liverpools right back position over the last 2 years and barely ever gets a mention.

[Emma_ZS]

Lampard = over-rated
Evra = under-rated

[Tupps]

MICHAEL OWEEEEEENNNNNN

Just Scored his 8th goal in 10 games

Who Fuck Said He's Over Rated ?!

[Jimmy-Boy]

MICHAEL OWEEEEEENNNNNN

Just Scored his 8th goal in 10 games

Who Fuck Said He's Over Rated ?!

yeah init, backhanders needed.. OWEN FTW :D

[Heliosphan]

Majority of players who played for England the other night are overrated.

[duffy_89]

Haw can you say malouda and jon obi mikel are over rated they are 2 great players.

Mikel is still only like 22 iirc so huge time to get better

Im sorry but malouda is awful.... Hes a winger who cant beat men, doesn't get goals, no effort, cant cross and he has a poor attitude aswell.
I watched him play for France before he came to Chelsea and remember thinking how bad he was. Then he came to Chelsea, scored in the community shield.... then what did he do all season????

I remember him claiming he will be better than robben.?! dont make me laugh


I may be abit biased against obi but im just not a fan of him.

[duffy_89]

Lampard = over-rated
Evra = under-rated

Thats a good point. Evra is a class act.. How he doesn't start over abidal for france ill never know

[Clouds_mate]

Lampard over rated? scored over 20 goals in the last 3 season. He might not play well for England when you all watch them (but who does?) but watch him for chelsea game and game out. Record for his postion isnt bad at all.

Terry overrated? pahahaha.

Cant really say Ronaldo is overrated because he is the best player in the world and has Yates says if they is a market for him people will pay the odds. Its not just the football teams buy players for, its the shirts they sell and the stuff he could bring in. Ronaldo is worth every penny that someone is willing to spend.

Malouda is fucking shit. Waste of space. Cant really say hes overrated tho, as nnone of the chelsea fans like him, he even gets shit from chelsea fans when he plays. I have no idea what Jason is on about lol

[Mardgee]

Michael Owen = Over Rated

Under Rated = Theo Walcott.

Lad is gonna be amazing this season

wtf owen scored 9 in 11 premier ship games, hes still an amazing player.
