Yep I remember prefering Ade over him
Adebayor is the absolute king of this thread
Fantastic player but was suffocated by Grahams boring brand of football. He made that team above average when it was rather shit , a somewhat achchiement considering he was constantly attacked by the manager.David Ginola.
Good player but really made no difference - at the time.
True but unfair. Playmakers and strikers back then could do fuck all for 88 minutes as long as they set goals in the remaining 2. the work rate needed was far lower back thenDon't see why personality would come into the debate. The thread is about players who are held in high regard but were actually not that special.
And there's a lot of names here that are widely regarded as having been shit, like Bentley, Bent and Rebrov, so no point mentioning them.
I'm gonna throw Gazza out there. I remember Gazza as a scorer of great goals but he didn't have the overall impact on a game that a player like Eriksen does.
Gaza got us to that final without him it was impossible. Something we can only dream about today .Don't see why personality would come into the debate. The thread is about players who are held in high regard but were actually not that special.

Eric Dier.
Love him and he is a really good player who is useful in a many positions and when on form an excellent part of a well oiled machine.
But, I don't think we would be any worse off without him in the actual team when everyone is fit.
Carrick was class and criminaly underrated during his career.
I like Lamela but I think the praise he gets sometimes is unwarranted. Flashes of brilliance but 23 goals in 154 games is a disappointing return based on what I was expecting of him. In the Premier League he averages 3/4 a season I believe. Strange for someone so talented
Ledley King and Darren Anderton
Kaboul was decent for us but also a former goon/chav so I could never warm to him.
You’re thinking of Gallas aren’t you?
I was too young to remember his overall contribution, but I can remember some of his significant goals.Don't see why personality would come into the debate. The thread is about players who are held in high regard but were actually not that special.
