finally some1 said this,one of true meaning of overrated here...probably the best definition to it
page 1 - 3...i dont know why liv,arsenal,mu,barcelona etc etc clubs are involved
all debating arguing off topic issues

honestly..those that has been watching football for years
the perception of football has been changing over time......it goes up n up n up n up....nv goes down
if we talk about england players that is overrated....
in sense of price,for sure its Darren Bent top my list
Publicity?
Perception?high expectations?...its for sure youngsters of england has a high expectations,high perception of quality players(walcott perhaps?) thus some may take it as overrated youngsters,when they dont see the youngsters succeed quickly
i dont think barry/cole/carrick is overrated....
if the 6+5 or whatever policy is implemented.... price of england players especially the 1st eleven might go up,all clubs will then start to practise hard to sell own nationality players

u guys ask yourself 1st,what do you mean by overrated in your mind...before start debating off topic issues,keep your clubs to yourself

if you ask me....i prefer to say the salary of certain footballers is overrated
certain footballers really earn insanely disgusting money if you ask me, and yet some of them still can go bangkrupt....

david beckham.. some may say:pop star of british football?
even at his age,look how much is he earning at the galaxy club..how much US clubs are willing to pay
im not saying bekcham is not a good player....but he is just doing what a middfielder is currently doing
nothing,and he earns a bomb
darren bent is earnning a bomb,rotting at bench
how fun is his life in sense of earnning money..

i dont know, maybe you ask spurs?
why is he rotting at the bench instead of playing regularly at every match
and for them to pay 16m pounds for him..i suppose they had gone through the perception stage..perceiving that is he a good player....thus willing to pay that sum of money for him
but in the end,not using him

my mistake,i did not read your post on this part...red only on the earlier ones,my apologies



if thats the case, then spurs had probably done 1 mistake
which they fail to identify that if bent would play good football for them
which is very common in many clubs....
hmm,maybe bent was brilliant for smaller clubs..but not as good as he seem at bigger clubs
but could this fall under the category of overrated error mistake done by spurs?well, it could be..

bro,chill lar..why so emo?
if im wrong..please slowly explain to me
maybe i misunderstand of misinterpret your post
but need or not call me retard n so?
in fact in apologize for missing out your post
well suite yourself...


i tell you what i understand from this post
how does a team actually overrates a player? in Darren Bents case he was scoring his socks off for Charlton before moving on, so did the club overrate him?he earned his current contract for his performance in the season before, therefore you couldnt say the club actually overrated his ability, because he justified that ability and thats why they signed him to that large contract

Darren Bents case he was scoring his socks off for Charlton before moving on - okay so what if he was doing good at charlton, is it for sure he would play good football at spurs?( my key point)
its like trying to say a player play good football at division 1, but would they play good football at BPL?

he earned his current contract for his performance in the season before, therefore you couldnt say the club actually overrated his ability - yes,like i said..he is playing very good at that moment,but failing to rate if he would be good for another club would be an error?maybe im wrong..if so,u could enlighten me...i would really appreciate if u would not use harsh remarks like retard or other words...

so my point is...it falls under decision making error...
which i study at marketing(sorry that i bring out this theory i learned,just to relate it) positive false error
which means. what seems to be good turn out to be bad in the end..and its considered as a decision error
and this decision error goes through the perception stage...which i think perception has something to do with the overrating thingy

and again..if i understand/explain things wrongly...you need not bang me out nicely...
did i offend u or something?chill lar

aite okay..i thought u were banging me didnt know u were having war of words with another guy...my mistake again, paiseh
