Lamela
What ever happened to Davies? his career seemed to fall off of a cliff fairly soon after it took off.
Heard reports that he drove the team coach to an away game once really loved him after that for some reason.
Perhaps. Him and Ade jumping out of the way of that free kick when they were part of the wall is one of the most vivid frustrations I've had at any player at Spurs.
He knew then he was destined for west ham....
Got to be Tom Huddelstone or David Bentley. Bentley was great at Blackburn but never stepped it up a level when he arrived in my opinion.
Think I'll cop some flak for this, but BAE.
You can go right off people, can't you. Huddlestone was a cracking player for us. I was gutted when he left.
Most over rated off the top of my head was/is Lennon, never understood what people saw in him.
Dele is a gem. The teams style has to suit his though, he's an extremely awkward player for oppositions to play against but in the wrong team/ formation I don't know if you'd get the same out of him
Embarrassing.
Oh God.
He used to sing as well, which only his hardcore fans appreciated. Cringed me outSandro, all he did was run through people, and post weird faces on social media.
Its not like they were protecting their faces. Maybe they were just trying really hard to not have their hand touch the ball.
Embarrassing.
All 15 goals video...stretching out 5 years or so? To be fair both Lennon and Hudd were decent players but one really stupid and one too fat and slow. None would get on our bench right now..
A lot of the players mentioned were not really rated by many in the first place. Or they were players that were good for us at the time, such as Hudd, Lennon, BAE, but then we went up a level and needed better players in those positions.
I think it tends to be the players who fans most want to succeed who become overhyped, hence Soldado, and a lot of homegrown younger players provoke that reaction in fans. But there is a difference between overhyped and overrated. The only player that I truly concur with in this thread is Holtby. I do also remember people being wildly optimistic about N'Koudou on this forum long after I'd decided he didn't belong anywhere near our first team.
