Most overrated foreigner

[Howard_lfc]

We brits are very quick to call our own players world class aren't we? Lampturd has been called this for a couple of seasons now and we all know he is far from that. We've even called Stevie world class in the past when in fact he was VERY good - but not world class (*ducks for cover*).
IMO Only Gerrard and Rooney are world class in this country at the moment.

Anyway - I just saw the thread about Zlatan Ibrahimovic and I immediately thought 'talented - but overrated'. So - in your opinion - which foreign player is called world class - but you think he's overrated?

I've gone first with Zlatan. Who else?

Couldn't agree more regarding Ibrahimovic. Grossly overrated.

As for Rooney (sorry, I realise he's not foreign) - IMO he still remains 'potentially world class'. Until he does the business in a major final or contributes towards winning a major trophy, then he's just potential.

Back with the foreigners, hows this for starters...

Totti (the single most overrated player on the planet)
Camoranesi
Seedorf
Cristiano Ronaldo

Over the few last years I would give my vote to Christian Vieri

[LFCman]

Ronaldinho.

I know he is a fantastic player and is capable of magic. But I do believe his ability has been largely over-inflated because of his image.

In fact i've probably seen him have more poor games then good.

Methinks you're stretching it a bit there!

Well lets just say that if you replaced Gerrard with Ronaldinho 2 seasons ago then we wouldn't of won the European Cup for a 5th time.

I agree...Gerrard is the best player in the world for us and I wouldn't swap him for Ronaldinho.

The buck-toothed Brazilian is still an absolutely sensational footballer.

Oh I agree, it was probably the wrong place to put him in the "Most overrated foreigner" thread but I still feel he is overhyped to this status as the worlds best because of his image when in fact IMO Henry has been the best player in the world over the last few years.

I just dont think he is AS good as he is made to be.

Totti omg, another one. I have never seen this guy consistently do anything good except consistently be a filthy scumbag.

Guys like him only get hype because of their image and from teenagers viewing too many compilations.

Plus I think he should be banned for life anyway. Scum of the highest order.

Zlatan!!! At his best, he's world class. Too bad it's once a season. HATE him!!! Totti is also VERY overrated. HATE him too!!
