Rio Ferdinard (The Poster-Boy of overrated players !)

Wayne Rooney (Great player but overrated in this Country - not consistent enough to be called best in World as he has been by certain commentators)

Peter Crouch (Victor The Giraffe)

Michael Ballack (overpaid, undermotivated - not the player he was)

Phil Neville ( Laughing

)

Rio Ferdinand He just prances about and makes far too many mistakes think he is more bothered about his appearence than performance

Wayne rooney or 1 in 4 as i call him because thats how many good games he has and he allways acts like a spoilt child

Jermaine jenus How the hell does he get in the England squad

Cses Fabrigas far too lightweight for the premiership

Micheal Ballack He is just going through the motions and picking up a fortune in wages he is another one of Chelsea's terrible galactico buys

Sadly most of the over-rated, over-paid players are English. Dyer and Jenas spring to mind straight away, followed by Barton and Carrick. Then there is Defoe, Bent, Bridge and possibly worst of all, Stewart Downing. Confused

Disagree about Ferdinand though, he is the genuine article. Lampard is an odd one, not sure about him, can be good on his day. Gerrard is superb and Terry okay. Owen is class when bits of him aren't falling off. The rest - pah!

Fabrigas is amazingly skillful, especially at such a young age. Will go on to be the best in the world before he is 23 IMHO.

The problem with most of the English players that get mentioned on here is that whilst they have potential they are unproven at the highest level. You can't say Rio Ferdinand is overrated because he is a quality technical defender who has proved himself at International and Champions League Level with Leeds and Man U. The transfer market is inflated but when you consider £20 million been quoted for Micah Richards and Anton Ferdinand after a few good games his price was a bargain.

For people who think Ballack is overrated I would say lets see what happens next season. A year is a long time in football just ask Christiano Ronaldo.

Shame about Kieron Dyer has bags of ability but is injury prone and perhaps dosen't have the right attitude.

Depends on who is rating them I guess and to what height of pedestal they are estimated to be on...but in terms of players who wouldnt be in my team ;
Jenas
Anton Ferdinand
Titus 'wait for the clanger' Bramble
Ballack (big fish in small pond in Germany)
Freddy 'had his day-best stick to modelling pants@ Lyungburg.

Titus Bramble over-rated? Is he even rated?

My five:

1) ASHLEY COLE
Wayne Bridge has outperformed him in every department this season, yet is an underused benchwarmer to the egotistical little twit for both England and Chelsea.

2) FRANK LAMPARD
The biggest big game bottler in the world. Yes he can score deflected free kicks against Watford, but when it comes to England he's annonymous.

3) RIO FERDINAND
Rio, you've been "murked". What does that mean anyway? f**k off and plead ITV for a contract for your sh*t wind up show...they'd give you it, then we can all see your ugly mug even more.

Or we could just not watch it.

4) EMILE HESKEY
"He's been excellent for us this season" said Jewell. So good infact, that he's creamed out twenty goals, like every £7 million striker should, and guided Wigan to mid-table safety.

Oh.

5) NEWCASTLE UNITED
Not including Shay Given and the unfortunate Michael Owen, but most of the rest of the team have either a serious ego problem, or are just young players who have been hyped up but simply cannot cut it (Ramage, Patterson, Huntington etc).

Manager- STUART PEARCE
Yes, it is hard not to like him, but anyone who can see a prolific strike force in Samaras and Corradi needs better scouts, or simply is not a good manager.

Thus leaving him in pole position for McLaren's job when the oh so mighty England don't make the Euros.

1. Kanu - Had a good start to the season and then turned back into the donkey he is.
2. Adebayor - The next Kanu. Moments of brilliance but pre and proceeded by spectacular mess-ups. Again and again.
3. Micah Richards - Why was he picked for England? Because Peirce said he should be? No where near up to standard and needs U21 experience.
4. Hesky - Not sure how and why clubs keep buying him for a large amount of money. He's never been a goal machine and can't pass to save his life. Might as well have a rock in attack.
5. Kalou - The worst striker I've ever seen. I don't know how much he cost but I bet it was alot. Can't hit a barn door with a banjo.

Near to the list - Barton, Crouch, Cole (A).

Most under-rated: Bently, Lita, Eboue, Bridge, Smith (A).

No point in his continued existance: Beatie.
