Nah he had a nightmare there, plus had competition for his place in Drogba.
Should have gone to Spain, as you mentioned injuries had seriously messed with his body at this point.
Torres was amazing for a while to be fair, I don't think he was overrated in that time and I think if anything his time at Chelsea has tainted how good he was, rather than being overrated. But yeah to be considered elite you have to do it everywhere you go for a long period of time.

I don’t necessarily disagree. Excellent big game player but plenty of pretty average seasons also.
Hmm, I don't negatively rate players who had a short peak of at least 2-3 years but were clearly world class during that time (ie Ronaldinho is my alltime over Messi).
That said, I think David Seaman was quite overrated, especially when you look at his lesser known (foreign) contemporaries, and his successors at Arsenal and the NT years later on. Had some weaknesses and wasnt that great on the ball even for that time.
Speaking about NT, Joe Cole and Sturridge even when accounting for their injuries and lost development are quite overrated just due to the desperation for a good English technical midfielder and any capable striker to pair up with Rooney. Just look at Cole's wiki intro and laugh yourself to death. Foden right now is actually what people thought/hoped Cole to be back then.

=======
He is miles ahead of all his successors at Arsenal, including Lehmann. Not sure any NT successor really matches him. Very bad offering imo, I think Seaman is actually under-rated in general largely based on Nayim from nowhere near the halfway line and Ronaldinhos mis-hit.
George Weah, Kaka and I am tempted by Pavel Nedved.

Close thread. Comfortably the most overrated player of all time. Matt Le Tissier without the goals basically.
Hard to say somebody with over 300 top level goals is overrated though isn't it?
Isn't Gazza rated as someone who never really fulfilled his promise due to injuries and his own demons?
Most people talk about Gazza in what-ifs.

Why? Mario Gomez has done it for instance.
