Overrated Players

[red g]

But that kind of player is pretty useful, isn't it? Especially alongside a more composed defender, as you say. Did anyone ever think John Terry was ever anything other than the typical English centre half?

He's not as good as he was four or five years ago but he was pretty effective then.

Of course he was then and still remains an egotistical f*ckwit.

isn't that the point of the thread? he is over-rated as the media here hailed him as an amazing amazing defender when in reality he has never been world class. Just a hard nut and good goalscorer for a cb.

They are very useful but out of Carra and Terry, I'd have Carra being biased Carra in 2005/06 over Terry anyday who is way overrated not world class a term overly used. Franco Baresi = World Class

Exactly my opinion too. Terry is just great within the 18 yard box no nonsense 'ave it' john smith type of player

ave it John Smith type of player. You legend!

Terry is a flat track bully who imo like Carragher has always needed a more compused defender next to him to make up for his weaknesses.

Rio on top of his game pisses all over Terry.

I've always thought Rio as more of a tidy CB, have one real top season with United that i can remember. Terry i agree is a bully, but thats what part of being a top CB is, intimidation but he is an out and out defender whereas Rio is a bit more cultured although Terry's ground game has improved drastically. IMO he has been performing at a consistent level for years now unlike Rio who even before his injuries (which have set him back) was looking ropey. But different stokes i suppose, happily agree to disgaree

But he was a really effective player. That's what makes for how good a player is. As for media overkill, well, yes, but then they do that with loads of players, especially if they're English, let alone, England captain.

I thought the point of this thread was to list players who aren't as good as their reputations suggest and I was saying he's not any more but I think he was, even though he's always been a million times less classy on the ball than, say, Ferdinand is/was or Hansen was.

You don't need a room for bumming

A bush is sufficient. Why go through all that bother to get a room? Tee, do you notice anything about my post?

I'd rather have had Carragher too but that's because he's a Liverpool boy and I'm biased.

I agree about world class, it's lazy term that's overused. But I think for a while he was one of the most effective central defenders around.

Baresi.

Seriously though, if you two wish to continue talking about bumming each other, please do so in PMs

I was not going to post a reply after Reece's post but I thought bumming was where 2 adults who engaged in rubbing bums together like you do when your standing on the tube in the london underground or in a club at the bar

Jamie Redknapp was overrated
