Most overrated Players ever

[Tomo 21,681]

Agger.

Most times I see him he looks out of his depth, yet is widely regarded as a solid defender. I just dont get it.

Zidane is overrated in a way, people these days saying he's the best ever... he's in the same league as Laudrup and Ineista, who are world class players but not the best. Pele, Maradona and Messi are in a league of their own IMO.

The most overrated player now? Neymar, he'll be another Robinho. Not on the same level as Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho or Kaka.

come on that is hardly a popular opinion, Maradona and Pele are the consensus 1-2 greatest players of all time. At least those people you clam Zidane is the greatest player of all time are making their own openion most who say Pele and Maradona are the GOAT have never seen them play. I personally never make those kinda statements but for me Zidand is the greatest player i have ever seen.

Inesita is overrated for those who consider him in the same league as Zidane or Laudrup. I can never concede that Inesita is anywhere near as good as those two.

Alvaro Recoba is a pretty good shout. Amazing player but so inconsistent.

Was Beckham overrated? I don't think so - the guy was phenomenal with the ball - sure he couldn't beat players - but that wasnt his game? His game was delivering the ball on a 50p piece anywhere in the box and delivering great set pieces?

I would have had him at Chelsea in a heartbeat...

No offence to a lot of posters - but it doesn't appear that you have watched the majority of these players in real life, you've just heard they were popular and thought - overrated!

As for Ballack he was a great player - had a winning mentality and really helped Chelsea!

Veron was probably the worst player in the EPL for big money - yet he wasnt a bad player, just needed too long on the ball. When he went back to Italy - he was still good... (As he had more time on the ball).

Bit of a weird thread if you ask me? Especially as everything is so subjective...

Kaka. He was very good when he was fast, but his speed was the key to his success. As a playmaker, he wasn't exceptional. He was phenomenal in 6-7 games in a season and invisible in most. But he was incredibly popular and overhyped, and his good looks and "good boy" image played a huge role in his popularity.

Adriano.

CR7

Seems like people are just mentioning every player. Joke of a thread.

[Korea 734]

American Pele.

[cosmicway 1,260]

Sevchenko

Ballack, though not useless

[robsblubot 3,237]

The most overrated player of all time for me is Ronaldinho.

With David Beckham as a close second.

Beckham? Really?? Lol ok

Wayne Rooney

Not even the best English player I've seen. That would have to be Paul Gascoigne and by a very wide margin.

Beckham was an excellent player, but never top 10 for me.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Beckham was severely overrated, but for some reason (probably his likeability, he seems to be the nicest guy on earth) he is a footballing treasure. He was nowhere near Scholes' or Giggs' level.
