ronaldo is the most under rated player

Peter Crouch has to be that man. His gangly appearance seems to detract from the fact that he has great feet, and in the right team, could be absolutely deadly

Has to be Mikel Arteta fantastic all round player.

Has to be Mikel Arteta fantastic all round player.

Has to be Mikel Arteta fantastic all round player.

Without a shadow of a doubt, it has to be Richard Dunne of Man City. He has been consistantly one of the best defenders in the premiership over the last few seasons and is still not given the time of day he deserves, by the media or fans.

Steve Finnan - Solid as a Rock

it has to be shevchenko becuase that legend has almost single handedly put Chelsea back to where they belong fucking "also rans" and for that we should all rate him very highly!

[quote]Peter Crouch has to be that man. His gangly appearance seems to detract from the fact that he has great feet, and in the right team, could be absolutely deadly[/quote] Why on earth do people always say that about Crouch? It's absolute rubbish. Just because a player is tall, it doesn't mean he's going to have a worse touch than a shorter person. He's a professional footballer, of course he should have good feet. Height is totally irrelevent to your ability to control the ball, and I wish people would stop saying stuff like that. If anything, Crouch is overrated.

would either be Jamie Carragher(one of the most under-rated centre-backs in the world or Didi Hamman who has quietly got on with his job since arriving at Newcastle, was almost perfect at Liverpool and is now doing the same at Man City still wothout getting the plaudits his talent deserves

Got to agree, stole my thunder.. but certainly not under rated by the City fans![quote]Without a shadow of a doubt, it has to be Richard Dunne of Man City.

Sorry Edyboy but to say Peter Crouch is the most underrated player in the Prem at the moment is just simply a joke. And to say He would be deadly in the right team is probably true If he played for Rushden and Diamonds. My most underrated has to be Lescott at the moment the guy has won 3 games for Everton so far Scoring 5 goals and he is a center back.

unbelievable so far this season. His work rate is never a question. While he might not shine in any games for long periods of time, he can always be relied on to give 100% and get down into the nitty gritty of the game.

First of all, the suggestion that Ronaldo is the most underrated player is laughable and the manc that wrote it knows nothing about football. As an Arsenal fan i would say probably Kolo Toure and i think most neutrals would agree but i can see why Crouch's Name has been mentioned also an absolute quality player very underrated.

I have no liking for Blackburn but tha kids finishing is mustard. If he was playing for a bigger side (with less forwards) he'd get shed loads.

Richard Dunne - he's here, there and every** where! City player of the season 3 times in a row - hero for Ireland - might have to watch out for Elano this season tho' ;)

Has to be Nyron like.

Hes had so many injuries but is still world class could easily paly for one of the top 4

As a spurs fan I have to say, Arteta from a neutrals perspective. But Finnan and Matty Taylor run close for 'pool and Pompey respectively. No-one from spurs this season as they are all playing like shite (except Keano, who rightly does get plaudits and his deserved start ahead of Defoe).

I agree with Pauly Bhoy that it must be Arteta. As an Arsenal fan, he is one of the few players from another team that I would like to see in our squad. He and Fabregas together would be unstoppable.

if you've seen him play you know why.

Gotta be Richard Dunne

Span are mad not picking him.

MGP is a player that should be battled over by the big clubs. I'd love him to go to arsenal. and being stuck in Blackburn is causing his underrating. he needs a bigger scene to prove what he can do. Gilberto is the unsung hero in the brazilian team and for arsenal because he gets on with it and does not moan or spend too much time in the papers. he appreciates his job and gives his all. I trully think that gilberto is one of the best pure midfielders in the world and although he is 30 he still has a lot tp offer for arsenal or should he choose to go to any of the biggest teams in the world. Kolo toure deserves a shout again for a great attitude and performances that put him up there with the best CBs of the EPL. I personnally think he is better than john terry who is supported because of the fact he is english. Cheers

At my Club it has to Radek Cerny because if he cant get a game ahead of lardy fuck it Paul Robinson then he must be very very under thought of

[quote]I agree with Pauly Bhoy that it must be Arteta. As an Arsenal fan, he is one of the few players from another team that I would like to see in our squad.

agree with you guys about dunne, i remember the days when he first played against the gunners, and thierry would always rip him apart. then in the last few years quietly got on with his job and grew in stature, definitely underrated. Id have to throw hleb in there aswell, the amount of people that have issues with him is astonishing to me, one of the best players with the ball at his feet but maybe a bit more fanfare around him than dunney

Dunne's the man for me, with Hamman not far off. Both 100% to the game, a figure to turn to, and Solid performance. We owe more to then then they were given credit for. CTID!

I think if Arteta played for one of the top 4 clubs he'd be rated as one of the best players in the league. He only doesn't get in the Spain squad because they have so many other outstanding midfielders.

The best right back in the premiership and has been for a number of years! But no one outside Liverpool talks about him

Andy Reid - Spurs' best player

kaka

Not many candidates but no one seems to ever give Robbie Keane the rating he deserves. He has made himself undropabble over the last two years with his goals. Everyone questions why Defoe is not playing, the simple answer why is Robbie.

I'd struggle to say Arteta, mostly because I think most people now recognise how good and important he is. At Arsenal, I'd say Hleb, and Toure are the most under-rated. In the league as a whole, I think Richard Dunne is a good shout, and maybe someone like Benni McCarthy. John Utaka looks like an excellent player too, as does someone like Benjani.

Martin Laursen has got to be in the top 5 most underated player in the premier league he's been outstanding so far 4 clean sheets an 2 goals in 8 games

For me the best left back in the country at the moment but you never here his name mentioned... Arteta is there too. Crouch is useless and deserves to be rated so low... many a basketball player could do what he does

Now that Martin Laursen is fit he is absolutely immense for Villa! A snip at £3m from AC Milan.

Ashley Young was seen to be over priced when we(villa) bought him......now he's the bargain of the season at 8 million!! Playing much better than the over-rated Joe Cole Ashley Young must play left side for England for sure!!!

[quote]Andy Reid - Spurs' best player[/quote]The strapline was 'player' not 'pie eater'. When Ried left the lane the tuck shop profits took a nose dive. Fortunatley Robbo's taken up the challenge to get the turnover back up,lol. Cerny for Number 1 please.

Has to be Robbie Keane....13 goals in his last 16 games. He is a true professional who is not only a class finisher but is a 1st class team player....Berbatov gets the exploits and rightly so but Robbie is Tottenham!

football genius

Gotta be matty Derbyshire of Blackburn one for the future such a natural finisher of the ball when his more expirienced he will be a 20 a goal season striker!

scholes d best english player after gaza

Morton Gamst Pederson - Blackburn Grant Leadbitter - Sunderland Craig Gordon - Sunderland Olivia Kapo - Birmingham Giles Barnes - Derby Gareth Barry - Aston Villa Kevin Nolan - Bolton Julian Lescott - Everton Leon Osman - Everton David Healy - Fulham Richard Dunne - Manchester City Jonny Evans - Manchester United Owen Hargreaves - Machester United Stewart Downing - Middleborough Julio Arca - Middlesborough Charles N'Zogbia - Newcastle Sylvian Distin - Portsmouth Sol Campbell - Portsmouth Kanu - Portsmouth Tom Huddlestone - Tottenham Dean Ashton - West Ham Jason Koumas - Wigan All these players are under rated in my opinion.

Yes he's injured and has been for a while but don't think that spurs's defensive crisis is just a coincidence. For me when fit Ledley is the best defender in the premiership, rock solid, quick and just gets on with it....Hope he's back soon!

O'shea is the most underrated but yet most versatile player i ever did see, i mean he has played for us since his debut in 1999 in - Left back, then Right Back, Centre Half, then Left Wing, Centre Midfield, Right Midfield, against reading in aug as Forward and last season as a goalie, i mean what is left...acting coach..????? and each time he seems to perform well and never complains just does the job and always delivers.. ask liverpool supporters what he did to them last season infront of the kop in injury time for a 10men man utd!!!!!!

[quote]would either be Jamie Carragher(one of the most under-rated centre-backs in the world or Didi Hamman who has quietly got on with his job since arriving at Newcastle, was almost perfect at Liverpool and is now doing the same at Man City still wothout getting the plaudits his talent deserves[/quote] Don't think so... Ok, he didn't get a regular in the england team, but everyone knows what a greta player he'd be there, if he had bluer eyes... Rio is a bit of a joke in my opinion.. But hey ho.. Think carragher is great!! That from a spurs fan.

alex hleb is very underrated as is momo sissoko and benni mcarthy

I'd concur with those who suggest Mikel Arteta, although Joleon Lescott has also been outstanding. In the championship I've been impressed by Michael Kightly at Wolves and Wes Houlahan of Blackpool who is a very intelligent player.

Hard and clever defender. Moves foward often

Absolutely massive and solid as a rock as well as surprisingly agile considering his size. also dangerous going forward for set pieces

Not by hammer fans or most opposing fans but obviously by McClaren. Green should be Englands No 1.

he has to be one of the most consistant players in the premiership and has in my opinion been one of west hams best player.

zokora or lee young pyo

Julio Arca. Boro's best run of form last year coincided with his shift into the middle, and our recent run of defeats are in no small part down to him being out

I would have to go with Hossam Ghaly especially as even most spurs fans hate him. If you watch him he has the sort of energy and workrate of Hargreaves (not as good). But also has alot of skill and just needs a chance to play centre midfield where he is at his best.

Jaaskalinen! fantastic keeper and Im a Man Utd fan! also Artets is immense for Everton but the most under rated player has to be, no question of a doubt, TITUS BRAMBLE

Dunne - best centre back in the country. Didi has been player of the season so far. Best of the rest is Huddleston (Spurs), Gilberto (Arsenal) or Barry (Villa) - class man, all of them - one of these to replace Didi next year please (Gilberto is my preference)

My underated 11 Green Chimbonda...Dunne...Distain...Clichy Bently.. .Flamini...Reo-Coker...Petrov Benjani...Mcfadden

jussi jaaskalainen (or however the hell you spell it) has been the difference for Bolton for the ast ten years. bolton would still be a mid-table league championship team, if not for him

has to be keane for me, i know im a spurs fan so slightly biased but robbies the only player at spurs this season that hold his head up, if he was english no one would even mention defoe. defoe aint playin cos he's not good enough, took robbie to come of the bench on thurs(jst as against boro in the cc)n save us further embarresment against the european superpower that is famagusta!! defoe is graeat to score a few when your 4 nil up but goes awol wen ur nil nil or behind and the little fucker thinks a pass is an answer in mastermind!! outside spurs id say arteta(sheer quality) bentley(england regular in the making)and agger. poll aint the same without him. and that muppet that saids andy reid, charlton are in the championship mate and if the ever mak it back to the premiership that fat fuck will be found wanting again...... except at the local kebab shop where he's never found wanting!

[quote]Got to agree, stole my thunder.. but certainly not under rated by the City fans![quote]Without a shadow of a doubt, it has to be Richard Dunne of Man City.

One of the best midfielders in the world yet benitez hardly uses him. He would walk in to any team in the prem and be first name on the team sheet. And whoever said sissoko and crouch have got to be joking. Watching crouch next to torres makes him look exactly waht he is - shite, and sissoko couldn't pass a turd.

im spurs fan and it has to be gareth barry

Top draw, joint 2nd top goalscorer so far this season and 13 goals in 16 games. Keep it up Keano.

He gets no respect converting from a striker to defensive midfielder. He is the most wily midfielder in the prems. using his vast expeience to compensate for his tired legs.

[quote]ronaldo is the most under rated player[/quote] Nob

Its amazing how much this guy contributes to his team and journalist turn a very disgusting blind eye.

Finnan, best right bsck in the prem

I honestly don't know it would be more intresting to find the most underrated player outside the premiership. Everybody in the premiership is highly rated or at least have been. I guess someone doing a descent job in Reading like Andre Bikey, have never heard about him before. Scored highest off the Reading players in a newspaper.

KOLO TOURE

Gk O'Shea RB O'Shea LB O'Shea CB O'Shea CB O'Shea CM O'Shea CM O'Shea LW O'Shea RW O'Shea ST O'Shea ST O'Shea

Woodgate

Even now that he has got to a big club and performing as well as ever I just can´t understand why everyone is not crying out for him in the England squad.Strikers best friend if you ask me and is grossly underrated.

gjhhhhhhhhhhhhh

robbie keane

Robbie Fowler is the most underrated player in the british Islands

plays a key part in all of wigans goals

Our "superstar" Morten Gamst Pederson is by far the most overrated player in the WORLD. If only we could flog him to Spurs or Arsenal ! Please please please

True proffessional, gives everything and more in every game, fantastic in the air, as brave a player as you will ever see and works hard for the team and is not greedy and never moans. He's not one of the players always looking for bigger wages. Best value for money you will ever see.

it has to be paul scholes

But true!

Tamourian or whatever his name is at Bolton, I think he's a quality player

it's got to be shaun maloney, great little player. as for the robbie keane and scholes suggestion,,,,,,behave and stop clogging up my articles with shit!! there's no way keane is a star, he's yid scum and scholes is little ginger wanker.

...and it has to be ol' Dwight at Sunderland, this is from a disgruntled Blade aswell

wonder how many of the premiership footballers are gay?

Nobody's been able to cope with him for the last 6 months. If he wore a red shirt people would be calling him Ronaldo, but he's at a less fashinable team so he's just 'a useful player'. Him and Martin Laursen are the difference this season for the Villa, playing like world beaters. The whole front line has to be the paciest in the league at the moment, but Young is the real magician, making the step from just being an athlete to being really top class in terms of skill too.

Has to be Antoine Sibierski, best signing of the season for newcastle last year, everytime he played he scored dont know why they sold him, but he will again when he's fit

It's a shame he doesn't play anymore as he would be top of my list.

hayden mullins and robert green....should be england keeper by far

Well im a spurs fan and i have 2 say i feel robbiekeane is very under rated but i also feel tht aglogahor or how eva u spell it is 2...very gd plyer and def 1 for the future!

Robbie Keane (hate to say it as a gooner fan), young of aston villa, tim cahill (though injured), defoe (in a wrong club .. he needs regular games to blossom), hleb/flamini/song (arsenal), arteta, petrov of man-city, nzogbia of newcastle, kalou of chelsea .. and many others ...

Robbie keane has to the most under rated player.He is class

1. Antoine Sibierski - Been underrated from day one. Strong in positional play, exceptional header, can play on both midfield and up front. 2. Mikel Arteta - One of the best all-rounders around. Would love him at man.utd. 3. Richard Dunne - One of the best around... I'm from Norway, and I know for a fact, that Morten Gamst is at his peak at Blackburn - he doesn't have much more to offer than what you see... Good player, but not Arsenal/man.utd./lfc material...

either alonso or mascherano. no-one talks about either of them and yet both are massively influential, i cant wait for alonso to get fit. Everyone raves about stevie gerrard but the others should have some credit too

Wes Brown has been outstanding this year he has been rock solid in the back and coming forward his dribbling and crossing have been ace, but he is well under-rated.

I'd hardly call Arteta and Gamst underrated, everyone knows there amazing and invaluable to there teams respectively.... Underrated players, hmmmm David Dunn maybe, Ivan Campo, Yobo and Lescott??? None of my beloved spurs.... most of them well overrated.

Playing at England level at the moment, if he could score goals he would be in the mix as McClaren rates as he tried to sign in his Boro days

Given, Luke young,lescott, sol campbell, matt taylor bentley, hamann, nolan, arca heskey, bojinov

i think morten gamst is the most underated. hes fantastic

Toure? Liability and massively overated. Same applies to Carragher. None of the top teams have any underated players because they get built up so much. The minute a player from a 'lesser' club has a half decent game he gets touted for a move or if English straight in the national squad. Matty Taylor gets my vote because he should be at a bigger club and in the England squad.

very underrated player great energy

very quick and talented. one for the future.

Not by the fans? Get your facts straight. Fans player of the year 3 years running. Part from that you're right.

W.Brown, Z.Khizanishvili, P.Scholes, J.Woodgate, A.Smith, P.Chimbonda, C.Eagles, E.Eboué, J.McFadden, L.Lita

he scores and is a solid english center back. he deserves at least a cap

If anybody has been watching Pompey play lately they must of noticed Sean Davis, his performances against Liverpool, Reading and Fulham has been top class. If this continues he should be in contention for England, but with the England manager being the most blinkered manager in the world what chance has anybody to get into the England midfield.

Robert Green of West Ham....shud b picked for England instead of Robinson in terms of form...

Oh, sorry, did you say underrated? I thought it was overrated. It's got to be Dunney boy. Faultless since cutting the booze and getting fit.

... who has been incredible this season, and has deservedly kept out the talented PEdro Mendes.

firstly , i watch EPL often and i can't believe why kolo toure is thought of so highly? he's nothing but a strong and fast midfielder playing at centre-back! he's reading of the game is poor and gets away with many mistakes every game. i think arsenal will struggle against tougher teams with senderos and toure (unless they play 4-5-1). my most underated players in EPL is sean davis, evra, finnan, richard dunne, adebayor and michael johnson

Even with a recent big money move to Merseyside, Yakubu remains the most underrated striker in the league. Over the last 3 seasons only TH16 of the Arse has scored more...defenders watch out, when's he's fully fit...you will all suffer a Yak-Attack!!

You know, iknow and evrybody know! Kind regards from Norway (Sorry for the poor english)

even as a west ham and losing to them saturday, i'd have to say aston villa's young and barry. we couldnt get a look in, in the game and they dominated. would love to see them in the old west ham's claret and blue!

[quote]and i like to have many man coming on my face at the one time mmmmmmmm heaven!!!!! remember, give me a private message if you're up for a bit of mutton dagger fighting.[/quote] give it to me, i'm begging for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RICHARD JOHNSON of Watford. That boy could shoot, pass, tackle, pretty much everything!

half the pompey team. davis has been excellent, kranjcar has bben imense, benjani unbeleivable, and johnson fantastic. arteta is under-rated at everton - so excluding the pompey playors,a s i am biased, it has to be arteta.

You'll see when the kid is totally healthy

Quality player. I would also say Toure, Mellberg, and Robbie Keane

gotto be either shaun maloney or gaz baz. pure class

Carvalho,Arteta,Keane

I know it's fair early on the season, but i feel Roque is going to be something big in the Premier League, he's pretty much adapted straight away hitting something like 5 goals in 12 games, now thats not bad for only a dozen games in the Premier League!

Steve Finnan, rock solid. Reminds me of another unsung hero, Denis Irwin when at Man Utd.Its players like these that win your trophies.They dont grab headlines for the wrong reasons.They put their heads down and do the job. Not flash either in appearance or lifestyle, but their commitment to club and country was second to none!

hes now so overrated he's underrated

If only Jol would realise the talent he has with this kid, yes he makes silly young mistakes but that will always happen until you let him get game experience

he really is our gattuso, glad he stayed and helped shore up our midfield options

Do i need to explain this oen?

Spurs fan, agreed with you.

gotta be defoe man, plays a game and sores but still start dat many, atleast jol is gone.

gotta be defoe man, plays a game and sores but still start dat many, atleast jol is gone.

gota be mikel arteta fantastic player how he hasnt played for spain i dont know...or maybe shay given.
