kompany is another...

cus of city's spending power he managed to cruise through so many domestic games that all the pundits ended up raving about him

but throughout all that time he got shown up time and time again positionally in the CL, where even the lesser teams would regularly draw him out and then float one over his head for the runner with a chance on goal. or they'd just play round him effortlessly.

even last season i saw a CL game where otamendi was maybe the best central defender on the pitch and kompany was a distant 4th...

one of the most over-rated players ever i'd say - very good flat track bully though, nqat.

Pogba. Always been outshone by others whenever I've seen him, he's got a cracking shot on him but his passing has looked ropey whenever I've seen him, looked bobbins at the last World Cup too. To be fair that cross to Giroud recently was a pearler, plus he has yewt on his side.

Good list apart from Bergkamp. He shouldn't be in this thread.

Sneijder was immense in 2010.

Higuain by an absolute mile.

He's £#%&!ing useless.

Broke the all-time Serie A goalscoring record last season with 36 goals from 35 games.

Given that he is never labelled one of the best in the world, I don't think there's undue fuss, surely?

Hazard is a bit overhyped. Lovely player but last year people were putting him close to Ronaldo and Messi

I agree he's overrated. I like his leadership and the way he steps out with the ball, and he's obviously strong and good in the air. But he does make a lot of positional errors and he's an awkward £#%&!er at times when players isolate him.

I'd have no problem with him being regarded as simply a very good defender, but the best CB in the world stuff

Top shout

Completely agree.

Made to look better by the fact that all the players they signed to play next to him have been shit.

Laughably average.

Agree with that too - he was very good his first season or two at City, but has been responsible for plenty of clangers since then.

Payet. Scores some good goals, but he's not as special as made out.

John Terry. Well overrated player, made to look like a worldie due to 1. English media arse kissing, and 2. Ricardo Carvalho alongside him being brilliant.
