Dan LCFC Posted 15 March 2015 Share Posted 15 March 2015 Hulk would be one of the first names on the teamsheet of my 'fraud XI'. Have not got a clue how he's that highly rated. Must have the worst goals per shot ratio in world football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadt Posted 15 March 2015 Share Posted 15 March 2015 (edited) Fraud XI -is this shit players that are overrated or just have played at a good level for far too long considering their ability? Joe Hart Glen Johnson Stephen Caulker David Luiz Paul Konchesky Lucas Leiva John Obi Mikel Will Hughes Balotelli Hulk Bendtner Redknapp as manager Edited 15 March 2015 by Wookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 15 March 2015 Share Posted 15 March 2015 Players who are over-rated or playing at a level that they aren't worthy of. I agree with most of your frauds. They're managed by Karl Robinson as well who is up there with the most over-rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 15 March 2015 Share Posted 15 March 2015 (edited) Mine; Joe Hart - He's not even England's best keeper in my opinion. Dani Alves - Been in the team of the year a few times underservedly. Been better fullbacks out there, only rated because of the success of his team mates. David Luiz - 40m will go down as the worst transfer business in history. Vincent Kompany - Blows hot and cold to the extreme. Granted that when he's on form he's brilliant, but people talk about him being one of the best ever. Which is miles away from the truth. Marcelo - Proper shit. Only rated because he knows a few tricks. Theo Walcott - A rich man's Lloyd Dyer. Ross Barkley - Comparing him to Gazza is just an insult. Andrea Pirlo - Only rated because of a decent beard and decent freekicks. Some call him "one of the all time greats" Hulk - Reasons mentioned. Harry Kane - People talk about him being better than Bale. Absolute nonsense. Zlatan Ibrahimovic - People say that he's the best striker in the world. As much as I like the bloke, that's complete bollocks. Tim Sherwood - I read an article after Villa's win the other week (the one where Foster gave them the points) and they used the phrase " the Sherwood effect". Laughable.

Guest MattP Posted 16 March 2015 Share Posted 16 March 2015 Just watching the video of Bale's goals and Ronaldo's reaction is unbelievable - genuinely upset How can anyone be that obsessed with personal achievements in a team game?

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 16 March 2015 Share Posted 16 March 2015 Lucas Leieva is fantastic at what he does, not having that he's a "fraud" which is a ****ing ludicrous label in itself, as bad as "lazy journalism" and "robbing a living."

MC Prussian Posted 16 March 2015 Share Posted 16 March 2015 Barcelona could be expelled from all domestic (but not European) competitions for up to two years. At least that's what a judge is demanding at the moment. The current president Bartomeu and his predecessor Rossel are caught in a tax fraud scandal, as a consequence of the Neymar transfer in 2013: http://www.insideworldfootball.com/world-football/europe/16618-spanish-tax-police-close-in-on-barca-over-neymar-tax-scam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frost Posted 16 March 2015 Share Posted 16 March 2015 (edited) Lazio flying (Felipe Anderson double at Torino) and could well finish 2nd, while Roma are falling apart. Lost at home to Sampdoria.
