Player that everybody loves but you think is overrated

He's young so this might be harsh and there's a chance he could come good but his price tag and hype warrant a mention...

Enzo Fernandez, he's a passenger in every game I've watched him in, yet everyone I see who talks about him says he's class.

I watch a lot of football so I like to think I'm able to spot something in a player but I haven't seen it in him.

He looks decent, but if you compare him to someone like a young Cesc Fabregas, he was already running games at that age.

Bobby Robson was about as calm and measured a mentor and manager as he could ever have hoped for. Who could have guided Gascoigne any better ? Two people from the same part of the world, father and son type relationship etc. He also had Terry Venables at Spurs.

Yeah you’re probably right but what an absolute waste of raw talent. Who knows how he would have turned out.

Not a bad shout, I really liked him as a kid for us at West Ham but never felt he was good enough for a Top 4/6 club or England.

Also , another one I’ll chuck in the ring - Owen Hargreaves.

I'll give you Hargreaves. Didn't think too much of him

Carrick was excellent for Spurs. Pretty much ran out midfield, it wasn't until we finally signed Modric we filled the void.

He was a wonderful passer and confident on the ball. He kept things ticking well.

I think with with everyone raving about Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes he went under the radar. Even people like Scotty Parker got spoken about more with his full of energy style.

I feel like Carrick and Barry were never rated that highly for neutral fans in football, but I thought they were both capable players, if anything underrated for me.

Stephen Ireland. Always thought he was crack

That one season he was sublime!! I really thought he was the real deal.

His career went down the pan bad!!

The pink wheels, the flashy aquarium, the wig, the bullying, granny gate, bust up with Mancini. Ended up being more drama than an episode of Brookside

I see a photo of him the other day he played for Newcastle. I didn't even rememeber that. I could never work him out
