Lol I read underrated :O
Overrated I'd say...
Terry, even at his prime, but a good leader in defence
Rooney, lack pace, technique and dribling to make him the player many people mean he is.
Young, very one dimentional, one type of shooting technique
Mikel, much of the passes he makes is short and defensive ones
Milner, just everything, not a proper winger, nor a proper CM, but a bit like a potato, can be used in both.
Podolski, Carrick, Szczęsny, Lennon, Lloris, Cabaye,
Webb - not even the best ref in England, but a cool mind, and don't get carried away, but his not the best one to get it right

very good
Wilshere for me. 1 goal every 15 games isn't good enough for a supposed top CM.
TKT:
"VDS is the best example. He was better at Fulham than United. One of my favourites of all time.
But he wasn't 'allowed' to be called top class until he joined United."
He was a top class keeper then. And I was very happy United signed him and shocked that he had to go to Fulham from Juventus (where he did well but Buffon was signed as he is Italian would be the natural first choice). When we had our GK crisis trying to replace the Great Dane I was surprised we hadn't of gone in for him earlier. I think proper football fans always did rate him as top class but not the media who always look for flavours of the month type players.
As a Chelsea fan I'm baffled how all our fans on this board rave about Luiz and how he should be a future captain and not sold for under 50 million.
I like Luiz but he is so overrated by Chelsea fans.
Some people said if we sell Luiz they want mourinho gone!
Wilshire is class.
I actually disagree with most of edincools on the first page other than what he said about carrick.
Good player but people been waxing lyrical about him all year over some solid performances like he's Zidane
For Chelsea it's definitely Ramires. Average player yet for some reason everyone thinks he's a top player.
Wilshere for me. 1 goal every 15 games isn't good enough for a supposed top CM.

I suppose the likes of Xavi and Xabi Alonso are overrated then? They have relatively poor scoring records. Ridiculous logic.
You may have a point in Wilshere being overrated, but your justification of that is nonsense.
First, overrated doesn't mean bad, rather receiving inordinate or undue praise. Secondly I can't agree with the OP's view on Koscielny, he really is a fantastic player, but I supposed the overrated tag might apply to him as he is so highly rated by Arsenal fans. As for those saying Giroud is overrated, you clearly haven't seen the amount of abuse he's been given from Arsenal fans on these boards.
The problem with this kind of article is that unless you have a huge amount of time on your hands, you're going to have seen your team's players play many more times than every other team, so you should be in the best place to judge them, but obviously you'll be innately biased.
I'd say Arsenal's most overrated player by Arsenal fans is Szczesny. By other fans/pundits it's Sagna, Ox or Wilshere. The most overrated player in the league is surely Baines though. Average defender, always getting caught out of position. Just because he gets forward a lot it doesn't make him this fantastic LB that he always gets made out to be.

What daft comment. VDS had been regarded a top keeper for years before he even moved to the PL. I know loads of United fans who couldn't believe that Fulham had managed to sign him and wished he'd come to us instead.

You have compared two CMs that play from deep. Wilshere is supposed to be this dynamic box to box CM that gets forward and attacks.
He is a good player, don't get me wrong. But he's been greatly overhyped.
"VDS had been regarded a top keeper for years"
agreed
but he wasn't put into the running to be THE top keeper until he joined United.
Then perception changed.
Just how the game works.
I think van der Sar is an absolute clown. And was lucky to go to utd. He makes so many mistakes and for his national team seemed to always have a mare. There's a reason people never rated him before he went to utd.miracle career. Maybe a bit harsh and was a good shot stopper. But hey ho can only judge what I see
