he scored almost every time he came on

I don't think he scored when he came on as a sub all season. (I could check but can't be bothered)

Bit harsh to say Wes Brown is over-rated, he gets to praise yet he did his job well this season.

Santa Cruz, Alex, Barry, Eduardo and Pirlo and under-rated.
Terry, Van Persie and adebayor.

While with crouch, he's hopeless. 15 million for a tall twig is a rip off.

Also Kewell and Viduka are way over-rated by the australian public due to the fact they no nothing about soccer.

So you think he is worth 35million pounds then?
And consider his international since euro 04

how much did Pompey pay for him?

Was it 15 mill (i can't remember)? if so, then by definition, he is OVER rated by your own admission.
Things I am owed because they're too tight to pay up:

Colossus: One House

Costa: One Lunch

Oh and add in

Colossus: one photo and one letter from his "attorney".

under-rated: Jasskelinen, Green (should be england number1), Nolan, Parker (when not injured), J.cole, Diaby, Kalou.

Over-rated - SWP, lennon, malbranque.

more to come...

Tevez isn't over-rated, if anything he's underated.
He's a very useful player, and has done well in his first season for Utd...
I think they're willing to pay up to 30m to get him permanently now aren't they?

i know tevez is good..i think he is a machine but i am just saying that there was so much hype on him for man u and i expected him to score so many more goals especailly if he is worth 30 mill..he will probably get 15+ goals this season but last year i think he was slightly over rated

Bent is under rated, no i'm not saying he is worth 16 mill, i'm saying most people think he is shit because of one season with Spurs.
Joe Cole is under rated, Malouda is over rated

a scouser finally said something that make sense ..
so a player that help a team to win the title but score less goal than u expect is overrated ?? (I know ronaldo is the man who win us the title last season, but pls review back the stats from the internet how many crucial goal tevez scored for us last season) !!

So true, he is a class player and should be respected more highly. It's maybe because he doesn't play International games for Argentina anymore, to take care of his sick mum.
