Zlatan Ibrahimovic - a good player yes, but in no means the best striker in the world. How Inter got Eto'o and forty mil for him baffles me.
Cristiano Ronaldo - another good player but as said above, goes missing in games, he loses the ball an awful lot and 9/10 times can't really be arsed in trying to win it back. Was the best player in the world a couple of seasons ago, but IMO he will never repeat that kind of form.
Micah Richards - before glen, a few people were wanting him as the number one right back for England. Yes he is powerful and was quite fast at one point, but the trouble is his positioning, it really is awful. You couldn't really notice before because he had the speed to recover from it, but now he has become a lot slower and put on a lot of weight. Therefore is pretty damn sh*t now.
Rio Ferdinand/John Terry - ok players but nothing special, certainly not the best defenders in the world by a long shot. Especially Ferdinand, everyone says he is consistent but for a player of his 'calibre', he is extremely uneasy with the ball. If it wasn't for Vidic, Utd would be in the sh*t pan most of the time.
Gabby Agbonlahor - extremely fast player, but his finishing is shocking. Normally scores a few goals at the beginning of the season and then dies down.
Theo Walcott - some people may disagree with me on this one. Walcott is supposed to be a striker, yet rarely plays up front and has been put on the wing most games. For a striker his finishing is sh*t, yes even against Croatia when he got a hat-trick, none of the goals were superb, he just seemed to be there. I thought Walcott was going to be a fantastic player and i was expecting a lot more from him. Arsenal signed him when he was seventeen, he is now twenty and IMO hasn't really improved a great deal.
Francesco Totti - never been out of his comfort zone. At Roma, the team has basically been built round him, and I never quite understand why. He puts in average performances most games and rarely does anything special. Yet people who judge players on Fifa ratings seem to think he is 'world class'. No he is just an average player who hasn't got the balls to try the prem.
Robinho - For 32.5million I'd expect a lot more from him. He shows the occasional bit of magic yes, but is no way consistent. If Robinho gets put on his arse at the start of the game, it is guaranteed he won't get involved in the match and will just shy away. For 32.5 million that's a joke.
