Thats bias by TS for not including his supporting team players...
Right?

I remembered one....

Francis Jeffers!

damn good in Everton...people tot he will be next Alan Shearer or whoever..then big money transfer to Le Ars ended up down to drain...where is he now? Still playing football?

I remembered he played for Norwich..

Sorry off topic

Arsenal,Liverpool&Chelsea is overrated.What do they have now?The only overrated(to perfection) thing in MUtd is C.Ronaldo.

The funny thing is only the media rates Liverpool. I speak to my mates who are mancs and they tell me they have no fear facing Liverpool. I wonder then why people think Liverpool are overrated. Who rates us? You? I don't.

Anyway, let's keep things in context and talk about English footballers.

oh i see...he is still playing football

he is for me the most overrated footballer

There is different meaning for the phrase "overrated players"
Is he overrated for his skills and so on?
Eg: Anthony Le Tallec tipped to be the next zidane.

OR
is he overrated for the money spend on him?
Eg: Darren Bent 16.5m~

For the 1st one, I did say there are a lot of them..Often we hear there are players to be the next zidane, the next drogba and so on..In the end, they turned out to be flops.

For the latter 1, I did say Darren Bent is.For the $ spent on him and the number of appearances and goals from him, he is totally overrated.

eh, he never been to norwich@proton.
i thought jeffers was playing with sheffield wednesday or something.
heard that he scored a nice goal against hull.

Ashley Cole..........pretty overrated

I doubt you'd say that if he's still in Arsenal. All of England players are overrated, IMO.

Yeah Ashley Cole is one dude which is over-rated man ....
Instead of fooling around with gals, he should focus more on his career.

I seriously doubt how do you rate a player as 'overated'. Is it depends on his lifestyle comparing with his performance? Money? or your personal feeling?

My personal feeling ?
No way.
It's true that Ashley Cole is over-rated.
He is quite highly paid but comparing him to other defenders, he is not good at all.
Maybe I sounded a bit harsh. And there was this moment when his personal life overshadowed his career.
So you think players who are highly paid but keep appearing in the news for wrong reasons are not over-rated ?

that is called drop in performance
when he was with arsenal u even want to clean his boots

Ashley Cole was never over-rated. I rated him as one of the best left backs in the game the season before he left Arsenal for the Londoners. Has not found that form since putting on the blue shirt.

totally agree with u, for me, Ashley Cole one of the best left back in england even maybe in the world, he is great when play with arsenal, good when play with chelsea..

for me, James Pennant, Francis Jeffers, Darrent Bent, David Nugent, can we call overrated english players...

haha yup spot on.a lot of arsenal fans are still pissed at him for leaving arsenal.well that's football.stranger things have happened.anyway they got gallas so its fair trade

In general, I feel all wingbacks the get forward a lot tend to be overrated by fans. I still think a defenders first duty is to defend and not score goals, unless he is equally adept at both.

agree with u.. that is y man utd fans believe that patrice evra is one of the best left back in the world, maybe the best currently
im still waiting for baines to weigh up to his potential.. is he getting a game in everton? i know he played against us at goodison park but after that never seen him play anymore

roberto carlos was a good example. but his eagerness to go forward leaved a hole at the back.
heinze was a good example at mu. too bad his predessor is doing a step better.

darrent bent is ridiculously overrated. at £16.5million, he could be jol's worst buy.
tottenham is going to have a hard time offloading a flop.
