Who is the most overated SPL player?

[Guest TinCanFan]

Who is the most overated player in the SPL?  In my opinion, it has to be between the useless Jan Venegoor of Hesselink and Nakamura.  Never understood why people loved Nakamura so much, sure he's good at free kicks but what else does he do?  Nothing.  And then there's Barry Ferguson, who I've never really rated either.

nacho novo!!!!!!!

He's rubbish, he misses the goals that my nan could score!!!

most old firm players are overated!!

[RowdyBey]

I would agree and say it was between Naka and Ferguson, but i would also say more than half of the Rangers squad  :023:

[ElderBoy]

nakamura or boruc

[TomCaleyJag]

Me and a mate were having this discussion this morning actually... He's a Rangers fan and reckons Barry Ferguson is "world class".

Thats laughable if you ask me! I've only ever seen one performance from Ferguson where you'd say he actually made a difference! (first game of this season!)

[FuriousGeorge]

Aidan McGeady!!!!!

Defenders have sussed him this season. His 'blistering' pace is no good when he can't keep or pass the ball! - despite the slavering praise that Archie MacPherson showers on him!        :blah01:

[SMEE]

Barry Ferguson is the modern day Paul Mcstay. He is like a crab with a ball

[starchief]

Barry Ferguson is an excellent player.  Easily one of the SPL's best.  And, if you actually look at his career, he was excellent for Blackburn too.  Most Man-of-the matches in the games he played, plus named captain.  Unfortunately, rumours often get in the way of facts.

Last season, Nakamura was sheer quality but has been a passenger this, as he's never fully recovered from injury.

Jackie McNamara has been a huge disappointment.  It's obvious that injuries have meant an early end to his top-flight career but no-one seems to have noticed it yet.

Nakamura is good I like him!!

Barry Ferguson is no bad!!

[dead_ball_specialist]

From the sounds of it, midden fans think it's Dargo http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A34638113

I would go for Lee Naylor, total mince.

Without a doubt its McGeady.

A 2 trick pony :015:

Trick 1 = Run very fast. Stop. Run fast again. Get Tackled.

Trick 2 = Run very fast. Stop. TRY and cross - this invariably goes horribly wrong

When Trick 1&/or 2 fails adopt face of person sucking sour lemon, throw arms up into air and then get booked for dissent or a spiteful late tackle

[ICTJackson]

I can think of a few:

for some reason a few people i know in england rate noel hunt he is an awful striker and he has no pace

ross mccormack

marius niculae :023:

and half the old firm

I have never rated McManus at Celtic.

I have a mate who is a Celtic fan who doesn't rate Nakamura and I agree with him, I think he hides far too often in matches.

[starchief]

As I've said above, I think Naka is all down to injury and fatigue as he was amazing in his first year.

McManus is ok but for me, Caldwell is a much better player.  He gets a lot of criticism - most of which started when he was right-back.  Imagine McManus or Pressley at right back, then maybe Celtic fans should be a bit more forgiving.  For me, McManus would struggle in any league where technique was more important than strength, whereas Caldwell would thrive in a league like Italy, Spain or even England.

Are you mad? Caldwell is mince!  And so is Past It Pressley who's also utter garbage.

[Kingsmills]

Dargo at St Mirren must be a candidate given that their return on ?100,000 so far this season has been precisely one goal.

[MissICT]

Pressley is Rubbish!!

he just can't play well!!

[BA]

Pressley is rubbish but he isn't rated very well so he isn't the most overated player in the SPL.

Scott Brown has also been very poor this season.

And I also think Billy Mehmet is the worst striker I have seen in the SPL by quite a distance.

[Glen Mhor]

nacho novo!!!!!!!

Aye, you're dead right there. All Old Firm players are overrated and overhyped too by their journalistic groupies.

:016:

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

Thomas Buffel....?2.3m for what? Last scored in 2006. We complain about some of our lads but Buffel is someone Rangers have almost tried to give away.

[MissICT]

Remember Sebo!!!!!

[ICTJackson]

Remember Sebo!!!!!

yep ?1.8M for 5 goals in 32 games. one of the many poor signings made by paul le guen. libor sionko and karl svensson were also terrible.

[MissICT]

aye!

we started to annoy him up last season wen we beat them last season!

he was rubbish!

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

Celtic hold the record for the worst ever - Scheidt. ?5M of it dumped by a South American agent.

[blobs]

i dont think anyone rates sebo in scotland, so he isnt realy over-rated. pressley hasnt played much this season so again isnt over rated. same goes for buffel, allthough he did look good in the semi final last weekend. i think nevin was saying that the reason he hasnt been playing is because they'll have to pay more transfer fees if he appears in the league again.

rob jones in my opinion is the most over rated, everyone goes on about how much of a gaol threat he is (especialy on this site pre-hibs games) but he rarely scores. the only people that dont rate him strangely enough are hibees.
