"Underated players and Overated players"

I think simon davies and Dave Thompson are both underated, as is Lie Tie.
I also think Joe Cole and Dyer are both overated.

I added an extra 'g' by accident, so what?

Anywho, Phil Neville is overated as well, I think that DW is nearly better than him.

I feel that Ugo Eghiogu is one of the most underated on the international front, he's played his way into the side a few times through good performances, trial friendlies and injuries to other players and has never failed to deliver solid performances and even scoring in one of his very rare outings. He has always been good enough but Sol Campell has been better. However, since his transfer to Arsenal from Spurs he seems to have become big and lumbersome and nowhere near as good as the player that was dribbling down the pitch during WC98. Chasing down Agustine Delgado was the fastest I've seen him move in recent years and that ended up with him recieving a red card.

The same is almost happening to Ferdinand. One of the biggest stars at the World cup and since joining Man Utd we have seen numerous errors, injuries and unusually bad performances.

Think you've gotten a bit confused, James Beattie is the one who in the past year has hit top form and scored many goals while Kevin Davies was a great talent but has become a shadow of the player he used to be since he moved to Blackburn. I doubt he can on much longer without getting good recognition and Sven can only be impressed by what he is seeing. Could be the perferct replacement for Heskey seeing as he wins all the things in the air and act as a supporting striker like Heskey is wanted to do and can also bang in his fair share of goals

Dannie Bulman...underrated. Nuff said.

£10 million from the then Combined Counties Ashford Town to the Division 2 Wycombe. Not bad for a then 17 year old snapped up by John Gregory!

I think that Gareth Barry is underated and think that he deserves a chance in the England squad.

I'm glad to see kevin beattie perform well against arsenal, he too is underated

The two hardmen at the Everton are very under rated.

Thomas Graveson and Lee Carsley may not have the skill and flair that Cole and Thompson have but for pure heart and determination have lead Everton to strength to Strength.

Yeah. Compared to the days of the FA Youth Cup Final when he ripped Coventry's defence apart with an incredible performance and array of tricks and skills, Joe Cole is a completely different player.

Shame that.. Hopefully he will be able to adjust though as I think England could really benefit from having him in the team in the future.
