How does a player get to 26 without scoring a single goal for their country and be classed as one of the best attackers in the world and command a £100m fee? Doesn't quite add up? Some sort of money laundering going on there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No idea.

Why can Pele be considered one of the greatest players of all time despite only playing in the Brazilian league?

Why can Messi be considered one of the greatest players of all time despite never winning the world cup? Can't be one of the greatest ever players if you don't win the greatest ever trophy with your national team I suppose.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not winning the world cup is slightly different to not scoring a single goal for your country before age 26?

It's like an actor putting in several amazing performances in big films but not quite winning an Oscar, compared to calling someone a world class actor after posting one video on ticking tock.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It was just another couple of ridiculous analogies to add to the one that you proposed. Thought you were trend setting tbh.

Currently

Kane

Very good but never the best CF in the world like some claim he is. Have never felt he is unplayable even at his best.

Lukaku

Clearly a far better player than the one that left United but many of his old flaws remain. Can do no wrong in the media at the moment. Will they have the same view by the end of the season? We’ll see.

From the past

Fernando Torres

Brilliant for 2-3 years at Liverpool but still injury prone in that period. A lot of averageness other than his time at Liverpool.

Scholes

Clearly very good but I feel he’s been elevated to some good like status after retirement.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You have just committed blasphemy saying that about Scholes

Scholes was an excellent player don’t get me wrong but the best midfield player in the world or of his era? Not for me. Not sure there was any spell where he was the best player at United.

I gotta mention rudiger. I think he's class, but the wages he's reportedly demanding are far too high for a CB who has only really shown it in a back 3.

Scholes just gets better and better doesn't he.

More nonsense about this back 3 thing and rudiger. Short memories must be at play

Rudiger is a talentless thug

I must admit, nobody in my life has gone so against the eye test, that harry kane has. Whenever I watch him play I struggle to see how he's so good.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is something I have always thought too. I swear you can watch Kane sometimes and he can look so clumsy and awkward you'll think he's barely even a footballer, then he'll just go and score 2 goals out of nowhere or something. Lukaku is the same, perhaps even moreso. Fair play to them really.

23 year old Chiesa is the 34th most valuable player. Behind Declan Rice




This says it all. Declan rice is massively overated

posted on 12/10/21

Phillips at leeds is overated too.

posted on 12/10/21

Everyone in the England team is over-rated. Except Pickford - everyone thinks he is shiiite.

posted on 12/10/21

If we can get hold of Chiesa at a snip, less than a Rice, we've got to get him, why is he so lowly rated ?

Tierney is definitely over-rated but he's still decent. All the badge kissing gives him a load of fanboys.

Kante as well. The guy has been massively hyped since Leicester, he's good but he's not special. Persona of the guy like Tierney has propelled his status beyond the performances.

Greenwood is mince. We keep hearing he can be one of the best in the world, i've never seen anything which makes me think he will be at that level. Another Walcott type.

Hudson-Odoi, 100k a week for a youtube footballer

Martial is utter schit.

Pogba.

I've seen your take on kante before. It is mental
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Can we readdress this kante thing? Lol
Motm in 4 out of the last 7 knock out games to winning the champions league including the two semi finals and final.

People need to see goals to notice a good player. Would kill for Kante at Utd

How about John McGinn?

How is Tierney overrated? If anything he's underrated, he barely gets mentioned despite being the best two-way left-back in the league.

Most overrated... it's tricky but I'd say Van Dijk. Only really had a couple of good seasons and people comparing him to Ramos, Varane etc. Liverpool fans have been starved of top players over the last 30 years or so, so they hype up any decent player that comes along.

Havertz and Thaigo Alcantara would be up there as well.

Apex left back.

Can't wait for Pepe to rip it up the league actually.

Yes Scouse media whip the dippers into a frenzy.

Torres best player in the world

Then Gerrard (cue Zidane said so once in an interview once)

To be fair VVD is absolute quality, not overrated, but remember when Torres was better than Messi and Ronnie
