I mean, at least 2 other posters have mentioned De Jong being overrated so I could, in fact, be more wrong.
Don’t put words in my mouth, I never mentioned the term ‘ruined’. He did, however, break Ben Afra’s leg, break Holden’s leg and break another MLS player’s leg. In addition, is now infamous for an appalling tackle in the World Cup Final.
I’d argue breaking 3 player’s legs in your career probably deduces the player making the tackles has a bit of a problem, otherwise that’s some rotten luck.
He was a ‘heart on your sleeve’ player who often went to ground. Most loved this, thus overrated him as they wanted to see that. At the same time, in the same midfield, Barry wasn’t doing any of that as he had the awareness and positional sense to not need to, making him a superior player.
Hence my selection of De Jong as my overrated choice. I wasn’t gutted when he left, and barring kicking his way through to a World Cup final, didn’t achieve much in his career afterwards.
They may do, but it’s not who was shit, but who they think is overrated.
There can be amazing players, who are still over hyped for some posters.
They’re not saying these players are shit.
The only Holden i can see finished by injury was Stuart Holden and that was against Man Utd a cruciatte injury ,perhaps you can point me in the right direction name the match this Holden fella played against DeJong , and name the MLS player, although i wouldnt want to put words in your mouth.
He really did have great hair thoughSome funny choices on here.
Think Channon whist a bit disappointing was a bit unlucky as Book changed the team to accommodate him.
Going through my time......
Paul Futcher in my view overrated
Most of big Mal’s signings though generally not good were players no one knew anyway.
Martin O’Neill came with pedigree and did nowt. Then we had no sodding money.
Rick Holden- way too slow
Fowler- never floated my boat
Pearce blew big money on the Greek Tragedy
"The Super Hoops"? Seriously?
Again, I never said finished, either.

Grade 2 ACL strain and a broke right fibula as a result.
Fill yer boots.

Yes, I know it's their nickname. I just can't for the life of me why a fan of any other club would call them that. I can't see too many visiting fans saying that they're coming to x playing the Citizens, or the red devils, or the magpies, or whatever. It seems weird to me, soft spot for them notwithstanding.Its their nickname. I like QPR. Always have.
