Player that everybody loves but you think is overrated

[bondsman]

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

Have you seen his interview where he’s says he never felt he was out played or dominated by Scholes Gerrard or the like?

United comes to mind. But thats not a player and is only yet firmly loved by the media. It IS a crap club though.

he was the last generations jadon sancho, just another in a long line of players who thought they were big time before they were

I hate to say it, but.... Balotelli. Yes, I know.

Technically and skills he had could have been as good as anyone in the world. Infuriating and didn’t work hard enough which is why his career is where it is right now, you could immediately tell in any game when he started when he didn’t fancy it and was more than often the first sub off.

Strange take but... KDB I think he's a fantastic player but friends that only watch motd highlights think he's incredible,
I watch every minute live and watch the other 8/10 passes that don't come off not just the 2 worldwide that TV shows .they won't believe me that he was getting moans off the terraces last season .
I repeat he's an absolutely brilliant player but TV watches rate him higher than me .

While I think he fell off quite rapidly due to injuries from his peak, Kanté was one hell of a player at Leicester and his first few seasons at Chelsea. He won Leicester the league playing in a double pivot with Danny Drinkwater, dominated us in the Champions League final and played a huge part in his country winning the World Cup.

I get its a thread of opinions but that isn't too bad going for a useless twat!

Whilst I take all that on board and cant argue with any of your points listed, I think my post absolutely nails the thread title

Ok, I turned it on , perfect timing for Walker’s goal - best player for England by a mile.

Rashford, Henderson of the ones the red fanboys live for, for some inexplicable reason which is not based on football prowess.

Rice… meh… seems similar to Mount, hyped up but doesn’t do much.

Maguire I think is reasonably ok, as long as he’s not playing with united, ie has a decent teammate around him (eg stones).

Kane, unless he’s got some decent playmakers (eg foden) he’s pretty crap at influencing and winning a game.

But overall I think the prize goes to Southgate, playing Henderson is a fake hype to far, and it’s not down to henderson , he doesn’t force to be picked by any meaningful football sense, unless Southgate needs someone on the pitch to do the bleed in’ obvious pointing… of which Henderson is a master of the bleedin’ obvious.

Kane is quality

He's one of England's best playmakers and he's not even one.

He's one of the few English players that I think is genuinely world class.
