Tommy Wiseau Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Darren Bent Never a 17 million player Always thought Heskey and Marcus Bent are far too overrated Aye, but it's not a thread asking who was most over-priced, it's asking who just wasn't any good. Darren Bent is a good player who's scored 50 goals in the Premiership at the age of 24. That's decent. Heskey is a cracking player as well. Eric Djemba Demba would be my first shout - a terrible player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

argyjambo Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Nigel Clough, Darren Ferguson and Paul Dalglish. I had the opportunity to watch Nigel Clough live at new year Norwich V Forest. he ran the show never wasted a ball Forest won 1-6, he did everything bar score himself, but laid on plenty for others. He was an excellent player. Moved on to Liverpool then Manchester City . he was also an England regular for a while. Hardly an example of an overrated player.

And I can confirm both Clough and Forest were scintillating: it was the night "you'll never beat Mark Bowen" was changed by Norwich fans to "you'll always beat Mark Bowen". And anyone that thinks Clough belongs in the list being discussed should avail themselves a copy of Liverpool 3 Manchester United 3, January 1994. Clough singlehandedly dragged them back from 0-3 down and facing humiliation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecjambo Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Liverpool have had their fair share of utter mince over the years. Igor Biscan, Im sure he cost around ?6million! Emile Heskey, how on earth is he in the England squad? Peter Crouch, despite scoring some great goals he was never good enough to play for Liverpool. Steve Harkness, some boy called Kvarme, Mark Wright, David James, Bjornabye, Leonhardsen, Rigobert Song, Titi Camera all contributed to Liverpool winning nothing for so long. Thanks Roy Evans. Although it didnt get much better with Houllier; Bruno Cheyrou, Le Tellac, Gregory Vignal, Abel Xavier, Heggem. Thank god for Rafa. Torres, Keane, Mascherano, Alonso etc will do for me.

Ryan Gosling Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Alex Ferguson would tell you Denis Irwin is one of the best signings he ever made. Over 500 appearances for United, Champions League winner and one of the best attacking full backs in the Premiership. Champions League semi final, United are 2-0 down and win 3-2. Roy Keane got a lot of the plaudits but Irwin was sensational too. Hit the post twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite liked him actually, thought he was a solid enough player. I'll raise you; Ferreira - ?13.2M Kezman - ?5M Jarosik - ?5M (Not a Mourinho signing) Maniche - Free Boulahrouz - ?8.5M Last but not least, Magnus Hedman. Cheers Jose.

Definite case to be made that he's a much better man manager than recruiter of players: what he achieved with you was largely with the core of Ranieri's team, of course. Mind you, I was running through Chelsea's Hoddle and pre-Hoddle sides in my mind earlier. I couldn't come up with an absolute goat; but do feel nostalgic thinking of the likes of Jakob Kjeldbjerg, Erland "Moon Man" Johnsen, Frank Sinclair and Mark Stein!

He won the World Cup, though. As did Christophe Dugarry, Stephane Guiv'arch and Frank Leboeuf. So if anyone slags any of them, all they have to do is turn round and retort "I won the World Cup" - how is there any comeback to that?! It was the same with Alan Ball, really.
