    In fact, all Welsh players are overrated by the Welsh.

    Irish players are criminally overrated by the Irish.

    Oddly the Scots are not guilty of this - perhaps it's because their players are so utterly abysmal that they know they'd look beyond stupid if they trumped them up.
    Not sure they are overrated, just think they play above themselves when they play for their country. Unlike your lot. Think the English are more prone to overrating players than any other country.

      Only the actual Ingerlund fans. Everyone else knows how limited they are.

      The Irish can be terrible for it - overrating Keane, saying we should sign Kevin Doyle, Shay Given is the best keeper ever etc etc.

      Or am I just thinking of Nic/Nikeser/ValueFinder?

                Eric Cantona for me was one of the most overrated players of all time.
                Klass Jan Huntelaar too.

                  Let's be honest, there's a good case to be made for almost any player being overrated. Football is so hyped up these days, there will always be someone somewhere raving about some piece of pampered, limited ****e.
                  .
                  Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

                    Robbie Keane

                    Was made to look great by Berbatov and has been average every other time in his career.
                    Forwards.......

                      Cantona was so overrated it was untrue.

                        Very good player though and IMO it's inexplicable that he can't get in the England squad ahead of the likes of Carrick.
                        Interesting one. Huddlestone is one of those odd ones where you only ever tend to see extreme opinions of him. Personally I think the analogies to Alonso and Carrick are accurate in terms of style but he has none of the top level ability of either. That said he played to a consistently higher standard than Carrick last season.

                              Apologies if a similar thread already exists (did search) - in which case please delete this.

                              I was thinking about this the other day and one pattern seems to emerge, my choices have nothing to with who they play for - I guess it's just more coincidence or because they play for them in the first place they are hyped more.

                              Wayne Rooney
                              David Beckham
                              Paul Scholes
                              Eric Cantona
                              Nemanja Vidic
                              Rio Ferdinand
                              Ryan Giggs (less so)

                              I'm sure there's quite a few more given a bit more thought - but those are off the top of my head.
                              Beckham defo - one of the most overrated players in football not just PL. However don't understand the Scholes, Giggs and Cantona seems very biased IMO.

                              Walcott
                              Rio
                              Mikel
                              Barry
                              Micah Richards
                              Totti
                              A lot of non-PL players there - but have to agree with Walcott he is fast and that is it! SWP is another of that type of semi-useless players. Oh and add Agbonlahor to that...

                              Fabregas is one of the best midfielders in the PL, have no clue where that comes from!

                              On my own note:

                              Adebayor - vastly overrated
                              The Nevilles
                              Lescott - never a 20m+ player
                              Upson - don't know why people rate him as a top defender in the PL
                              Carrick
                              Hargreaves
                              Bentley
                              Kuyt (hate to say it)
