I've been impressed with Marouane for 2 seasons now.i 2nd that, he is a beast on his day, and lets face it he can play anywhere on the pitch if needed,even his hair will allow him to play in goal, not a shot is getting past that FRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker10 946 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Almost everyone tends to be overrated or underrated. It's the nature of this type of discussion. Either a player is amazing/world class/etc...or they're useless and need to be jettisoned immediately. Supporters often overreact to individual plays as well as small sample sizes. ("he made a bad pass, get rid of him" or "he looked great in this one game, he's amazing") The most overrated players tend to be players that haven't played yet at Chelsea. So, possible transfer targets and youngsters always get the "they're amazing" treatment because their ability is based on fleeting glimpses, youtube videos, a game or two, etc... Once players actually play regularly, it becomes obvious that they're flawed like 100% of players are. (and with youth players, it becomes obvious that they are almost never as good as the players they are replacing.) As for Romeu? Is he a fantastic, game-changing player? No, of course not. He's not remotely close to that, but it was a pretty good début season and he's still very young. I think he's fine as a backup DM.No not everyone is underrated and overrated, some players are rated just fine. Also not everyone thinks a player is shit or world class, only idiots think like that.Your statement about Romeu is a prove and contradicts your opening statement. You describe Romeu as neither world class or shit, but as a good decent squad player. And that's how i rate Romeu.With the exception of Romeu, Mikel, and Sturridge most of the players are rated fine. Mikel and Sturridge are very underrated among our supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikel and Sturridge are very underrated among our supporters.I never said everyone thinks like this, but a lot of people do, especially when it comes to players on other teams. Just follow any of Euro matches and you'll see after a good performance "Chelsea should buy him" or after a bad performance "He's crap". Or, look at the transfer rumours when people talk about how fabulous or awful players are. Also, when people talk about our youth team, virtually every single player there is overrated. Most of the actually Chelsea squad is rated fairly accurately by the majority of fans and I'd agree with you that Mikel and Sturridge are both underrated. Overrated and underrated are odd terms because they are based purely on perception. For example, I think Ramires is a good player but I think he's overrated by people who think he's a top-notch player and underrated by people who think he's useless.

Shogun 721 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I have only read page 14, couldn't be assed reading the last three but there would be no point in McEachran or Lakuku coming to Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been impressed with Marouane for 2 seasons now.Well he is a beast, but if he is quoted near the same price as Tiote, then no way in hell is Marouane a bargain.Tiote in the last 2 seasons has shown he is the boss of that role in the PL.So a price range where you can choose from Tiote or Maroune, the easier choice would be Tiote.

I agree, there isn't space for them over there! p.s Jelavic was an absolute bargain for Everton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 The way people rate Tiote is ridiculous IMO. There are millions of midfielders like Tiote out there, he isn't anything special IMO. He wouldn't even be fit to tie Essien's (in his prime) laces. Rate Fellaini higher simply because Fellaini offers more to the side rather than breaking off play and distributing it to your midfield partner (Cabaye in Tiote's case).
