The only reason I think Torres is a little overrated is because despite not reproducing the form he had during his first season in England, he is still regarded as the same player when he obviously is not.

I'm not having that.. 61 goals in 91 apearances, 44 of them in 47 at Anfield. That's not overrated.

Fernando is still a world class forward and I am not doubting that. However I do think he is a little overrated because the bulk of his goals came in season one and he hasn't recaptured his form since then, but his price keeps increasing when there is mention of him being sold. All this despite him becoming more and more frail over the last couple of seasons.

It was said during his first season that he can't score away from home and his 44 goals at home out of 61 pretty much proves that point.

Bottom line he is world class, but he is also somewhat overrated.

Just to avoid confusion, "overrated" does not mean bad. It just means not as good as one is given credit for.


Carry on.

^Exactly.

I think every player on that list is rated higher than they should be tbh, but obviously players like Gerrard, Rooney, Torres etc. are still class.

"Cole is often labelled as the best left back in the World, but when he has come up against real quality Cole has often come up short."

Isn't that true for all the players in the England team though?

That quote is bollocks. He kept Ronaldo quiet pretty much every time he played against him

Yeah, we've come up against some real quality officials, they're so good they make us lose

I don't think N'Zogbia, Gerrard or Torres are overrated.

Oh and Cole.

He backs it up by saying 'The former Newcastle United man has only played 45 minutes for his country...'

And that makes him overrated?

Upson and Joe Cole are overrated. The rest aren't.

Yeh i don't think he's at a big enough club to attract the France team, but i like N'Zogbia.

I think N'Zogbia is highly overrated, he's only really rated highly because he can do a decent job in defence and attack while being left footed. If he was right footed i'd be surprised if he went for more than 5m

You'd be surprised actually

N'Zogbia has been the source of nearly all Wigan's points this season

3 goals 2 assists in 13 starts, think that's about decent especially at relegation candidates Wigan

100% spot on..

Bear wrote:No Pienaar, how disappointing

Pretty sure hardly anyone rates him apart from Everton fans

I think Young & Lennon are highly overrated.

Before I even clicked the link, I figured Rooney and Gerrard would be on it

gerrard and lampard

NO

Yup, Lennon was poor against Liverpool

He is such a dangerous winger, but due to injury and Gareth Bale being in the starlight he's not getting the credit he deserves.
