Top Players You Don't Rate

I'm getting bored of posting the Zonal Marking article on Busquets so if people would just look it up themselves (tu);)

The ever present engine of two leagues, a Champions League and a World Cup in two seasons of professional football.

I'll get a lot of stick for this but fuck it, I'll throw it in there anyway...

Wesley Sneijder.

He's top class but I don't rate him as world class and in the same league as guys like Iniesta, Xavi, Fabregas etc . He's a league below that.

He plays in the 2 of those tournaments with 2 of the best midfield players on the planet in Xavi and Iniesta who run the show while Busquets contributes nothing. Half the time I watch Barca he's behind or inline with the centre halfs and playes the ball sideways, not a patch on Yaya Toure in that midfield and I still cant quite understand why Guardiola let him go.

Agree.

To me, to be a world class player like xavi, iniesta etc you have to be as consistent as them, any time I ever see Sneijder he's either looking top class or he's looking un-interested which dampens my view on him, I hate him now though like the rest of the Holland squad after the world cup.

busquets is a brilliant player, just one who goes about his own business. no bad player would ever be a certain starter in both a champions league winning team and a world cup team. and anyone who thinks all he does is play 5-yard passes, look up his performance against villareal on youtube.

There was a time when John Terry was absolutely superb, but it's no surprise that his comeback to the Chelsea team recently coincided with a couple of defeats.

He doesn't have it any more, in my opinion at least.

There's a lot of players in here that aren't 'top' players which makes this an interesting thread and a very hard question.

I've seen Seedorf and Iniesta mentioned though - what the fuck?!

Robin Van Persie

Andrey Arshavin

Tomas Rosicky

Franck Ribery

Those choices are crazy. Tevez is one of the best players in the world I think. Agree with Kuyt though. He is murder.

Clarence Seedorf, IMO, is one of the most underrated players in world football!

Tbh ... any player who costs over £20m, no player/person is "worth" that amount of money.

Don't really watch other footie outside the SPL, EPL & CL so can't comment on anything else.
