      Can't agree with Willian and Kagawa.

      I think they are under rated.

      Each to their own.

      I think Willian is overrated in that for £30 mil and a lot of lauding by Chelsea fans he doesn't particularly create much from what I've seen. He's not a bad player at all; it's just he doesn't offer a lot apart from constant running. He reminds me of Hendo a bit in that regard (though to be fair he's done well for us this season). I would take Raheem over Willian any day of the week.

      Kagawa, on the other hand, has been fairly poor at Man U yet their fans keep banging on about him like he's Messi or David Silva. He might come good under flattened nose but I wouldn't think he'd get that many opportunities with Mata in that position. To be fair to him though, he was decent at Dortmund, so maybe his poor performances have been the result of dour, Scottish managers.

      I'm not saying they are bad players, quite a few would get in our team but still in their own way I think most of them are over rated.
      Take Pogba. Is he really a £60M player? Hazard? Heard him compared to Ronaldo and Messi. Kroos I just don't see it. Reminds me a bit of Lampard scores goals but not a lot else. Oscar is most definitely over rated. Balotelli has had a write up for years and flattered to decieve. Lukaku is very one dimensional as witnessed in the WC. Shaw is never a £30M player. Kompany is exceptional but makes mistakes every time I see him a bit like lloris I think jagielka and walker speak for themselves

      Who over rates Shawcross he's gash. Carrick I think as well is not over rated he has 30 England caps whilst playing for Man Utd for like 7/8 seasons. He's benefitted from the fact Ferguson just gave up on the midfield in his final seasons

      It's all about context, there's absolutely no reason to be snide about it.

      A lot of people claim he's the best player in the world - well I'm sorry, but the best player in the world doesn't go missing for game upon game. Nor does he wander about not helping his team out at all when things aren't going his way. The best player in the world should also be carrying his country like a Maradona, Zidane, Pelé or a Cruyff. Or even Ronaldo or Ibrahimovic to an extent. Messi doesn't do that.

      And let me just point out that "overrated" doesn't necessarily mean "bad". It means they've been hyped up much more than they should be. There are better players on the planet than Messi now. Messi is obviously world-class, but he's not the best. That's what I'm saying and that's why he's in my XI.

      Bless your little heart for taking time to dig up those stats though, good on you!

      Some good shouts in here and some real head scratchers.....not sure how Reina is overrated. Can't find a team that wants him right now and he's still a quality keeper. That screams underrated to me all day long.


      Not sure who said it above but overrated doesn't mean bad, it just means there is too much hype for their actual level of performance.

      For me the list probably begins with Luiz. 50m??? Are you kidding me?


      Some others off the top of my head:
      Terry
      Rooney
      Cavani
      Fabregas
      Ramos
      Alves
      Benzema
      Higuain
      Ribery
      Fellaini (and that's saying something because most agree he's worthless to begin with)
      Ochoa for keeper.....he had a good world cup but he's not that good....

      Ridiculous to call him overrated given the brilliant service he provided to us. That said, it doesn't take away the fact that he had a relatively poor 2011-2012 and 2012-2013.

      Definitely. He is still a top class keeper, he has been poor in the last 2 years because frankly speaking as a TEAM we have been poor as well, so to single out Reina is harsh. He also had no confidence in the backfour in front of him like he did when he had players like Carragher & Hyypia.
