Andy Cole. He was only eevr an average striker who was lucky enough to have great players around him to give him twenty chances a match. of which he'd score one.

*pulls pin*

Gary Neville

Víctor Valdés has to be the one for me. The guy has (alomst) nothing to do.
When you are a goalkeeper for a team that keep the ball for an average of 75% during the game.... it must be boring!

Nicky Butt.
Alan Smith ( the Leeds/Man Utd player not Arsenal)
Djimi Traore (Champions League winner??!!)

How about the other way round? Every liverpool player bar gerrard.

Agree with Victor Valdes
I also think Adebayor and Bendtner are worse players than they look

Steven Gerrard

From an Arsenal perspective I guess I'd have to say Kolo Toure.

John Terry

.........................................................................

The biggest load of bull**** i've ever read, Andy Cole was clinical in front of goal for United & Newcastle, didn't take free-kicks or pens (like Shearer) for either and still ended his career as the Premier Leagues 2nd highest goalscorer and regularly hit 20+ goals a season, Alex Ferguson wouldn't have brought him and kept him in the United starting 11 for 8 seasons if he couldn't finish. All this 'he needs 5 chances to score' stuff came from Glenn Hoddle and the hack journos and ignorant football fans who know naff all about the game latched onto it (bit like the whole David Beckham getting England knocked out of France '98 thing, which was also started by Hoddle).

"Nasri, Hleb, Denilson, Adebayor, Clichy...."

------------------

I thought about Helb and Adebayor too Petey.

Had to disregard them though because Helb was great for Stuttgart before we signed him, so he can't quailfy.

Adebayor is just one of those players that has good spells, followed by bad spells. I don't think it has much to do with the team he's with at the time.

Nasri doesn't qualify either, for the same reason as Helb, (but with Marseille instead of Stuttgart obviously), whilst Clichy is actually playing better this season than he has in ages. So if anything, his former team made him a worse player than he is.

Denilson is allowed though.

I've really put too much thought into your comment haven't I?

Adebayor (Cesc Fabregas single-handedly made him look good for an entire season)
John Terry
Defoe, Hernandez (in fact by definition a lot 'poacher' type strikers would come under this label)
Darren Fletcher, John O'Shea (or any of those journeymen who somehow won loads of stuff with United)

"The biggest load of bull**** i've ever read"

You should read more bull****.

--------------------------------------------------

He was a top defender in his prime and one of the best crossers in the league. He may not have been the best technically, but he made up for that with effort and sound decision making. The last few years of his career he became a liability, but he was the most consistent RB in the PL for years and years.

The thing is though, without the majority of the players mentioned their teams would have probably not been as succesful.
Ray Parlour for instance was a massive part of our success, man of the match in the 98 FA Cup final, scorer v Chelsea in 2002 final, plus a lot more positive contributions to our success.

It is similar with all these other players, because at the end of the day you cannot have 25 world class players in your squad!

"He was a top defender in his prime and one of the best crossers in the league."

He was cack when he came up against anyone with pace though wasn't he?
