is the most overrated player in the world. Can he even defend at all? If we're hanging on to a 1-0 lead, I'd trust O'Shea or Eboue to defend better than this overrated ******.

AGREED! He was a centre back who was converted to a right back because he is just so awful there. Still remember his performance against Bayern:lol: Very good attacking wise but nowhere near as good defensively and overrated.

Curious, I find him better at attacking than defending. I think he makes dangerous runs, knows what to do with the ball, and is a good header and dangerous in corners and stuff.

But yeah, I think he is still overrated.

He's not THAT bad, like any Spanish defender it'll take time ofr him to grow into his defensive skills.

Like Micah Richards, moving to the wing after coming through the ranks as a CB has sort of hurt his development, but he's still one of the best and I would argue he's world class at what he does.

Not so much Richards of course.

And, he's still bloody young.

He'll be shown up even more at center back. Titus bramble MK2, but Bramble can defend well once in a while.

Jesus, you're comparing a player who has won titles with Real Madrid and Spain with Titus Bramble now?

Dippersripper i understand your blind hatred for anything spanish or to do with spain in football but you're really taking it too far. Ramos is a talented footballer, bramble is your typical english center half. A big lump of shit basically, tall and strong.

Bramble is a very talented center back. Lack of concentration is his only real problem.

So you'll describe Bramble as talented but not Ramos? Why isn't bramble a record signing for a defender at a massive club if he's such a talent? Ramos has been great at right back. this season no so much and he can play at center half. He has it all and can be a world class central defender. I'd bet that he probably will be.

Ramos is better with the ball at his feet, but he hasn't got what it takes to be a great defender. Forget about world class, Eboue can defend better at Right back and Bramble has delivered some quality defensive performances Ramos can only dream of.

Bramble is actually technically better "your typical english centre half". Hes just missing one vital thing, A brain!!!! No concentration at times is his biggest problem.

He played there for quite a few games in his first season, alongside Helguera quite a lot of the time, and he was good.

Ramos is one of the best RB in the World, in fact, 1 of only 2 Real Madrid players who'd get into our side.

No thanks.

I'm really trying to figure out why people rate him so highly, I'm not coming up with anything.

He's quite good going forward I suppose.

He's great going forward and not too bad defensively.

I'd rate him above Alves...

He's better defensively than Alves and better in the air, but that's not saying much.

Going forward though Alves is basically a winger and he's definitely better than Ramos in that respect.

Did you actually just say Titus Bramble is better than Sergio Ramos?
On his day, Bramble is a very good defender, he's just not bothered sometimes. At his best, Ramos will struggle against Downing.

I don't know why you do this Dipper.

You talk out of your arse when you're talking about Spanish football.

You talk a lot more sense when talking about us, with people like Giggs and Rooney.

I'm sure I've made similar comments somewhere last season before he moved to Barca.
Yeah, before Alves moved to Barcelona and stepped it up a level to be the best right back in Europe this season.

You'd realise that if you didn't dislike Barcelona so much.

FranklyVulgar you overrate every continental player. FACT!!!!
Its not just him, most of the football fans overrate players in la liga. ZOMG he plays for barca, that toure guy must be better than Carrick/Fletcher.

I don't know brwned. I find them extremely overrated. The fact that Real and Barcelona players are automatic choices for all the awards pisses me off even more.

:lol:
Seriously, it's hard not to laugh at that. He is a pretty decent defender and nothing more.
He's got all the attributes to be a top class defender. Hopefully Bruce sorts him out.

while you'd wank over anything and everything La Liga. different sides of the same coin, really.

Ramos is overrated. good, but overrated. even got some stick from Madrid fans this season for some of his performances.

Now we're not allowed to have an opinion? :confused:

We just have to go along with Barca have the greatest player in the World in every position? :mad:
