Agreed. And some of the answers are disrespectful to past and present players. I can only assume some are taking the piss.A thread in which people can slag off past and present players, pretty sure we already have this covered
Hart and Dunne for instance: /

I also feel Kompany is a bit overrated. Brilliant for 2010-2014 but became somewhat of a walking red card waiting to happen in the later years.
Saved it with two late end of season runs in 2018 and 2019 and the Leicester goal coming back into the team, but the reality was he was injured for well over half the premier league games in those seasons (30 PL starts in 2 years).
Kompany was a great footballer and an iconic player for us, but not a great defender; outside of Mancini’s well drilled, low block defensive unit his lack of awareness got exposed in a higher line. He was horrific in Europe aswell.
He’s a lot like Gerrard in the sense the armband, the winning goals and the physicality masked a lot of their shared flaws - it’s no coincidence both clubs have gone up a level in the absence of their egos and erratic presence on the pitch.
Think some people don't understand the word overrated.
For them to be overrated, they have to have been considered by many to be a good player.
Nobody thought Bradbury, bridge or managala were good so they can't be overrated.
Agreed you are spot on and that’s why David Silva walks this , not one big goal in 10 years
