Walsall_Ram Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Not sure how Joe Hart has been listed.. Cost around 300k (if not less) from Shrewsbury and I'd say the best English keeper since Seaman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomad Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Shane Long - He's not English but i would say he's very overpriced. Jake Livermoore should probably get a mention as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i-Ram Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 If you want to see some overpricing just watch what Manure will have to pay over the next couple of weeks. If, as we all do, we think they paid over the odds for Shaw and Fellaini, I bet their next 2 or 3 signings will be eye watering prices. Their team is not good enough - frankly Ferguson left it in decline even if they were Champions - and they need 2, 3 arguably 4 new players to give themselves some chance of getting into the top 4 this season. If I was a selling club and Woodward came knocking I think I might think of a number and then double it. And you know what, the more I think about it, the fu$#ing funnier it becomes.

Bris Vegas Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Few names have surprised me here, Sergio Ramos and Ribery being two of them. Superb players have have been amongst the best in the world. Both Bayern and Real Madrid wouldn't have won the Champions League in recent years without them - especially Real Madrid as Ramos scored the last-minute equaliser plus the goals in Munich on the semi-final. As foreign players go though, I'd definitely say Falcao is overrated and even James Rodriguez - I can't believe RM bought him and for the price they did. English ones are easy. Gerrard, Rooney and Ashley Cole being a few. Always bemused me how Ashley Cole was rated the best left-back in the world when he offers nothing going forward - Eric Abidal was such a better player. I think Alexis Sanchez is massively overrated too. He really struggles with basic ball control at times and Barcelona's passing was too quick for him - Pedro was the better player IMO.
