    Baggio was great, especially when he was at Fiorentina and Juventus.

    Should I not put Beckham and Owens on then? I never watched them week in, week out.

    Not having it. Not playing at that consistent level to the age he did.

    I agree he was great but I personally think people rate too much.

    Probably.

    I would never say Beckham was overrated, the guy was an absolute assist machine. Owens at his best was very good, injuries ruined him though.

    You really can't judge a player if you didn't consistently watch them. Can have an opinion on them, of course but if you didn't consistently watch them, you really don't know their full game.

    I thought Balitelli was gonna do great things. He has talent but he needs to be a bit more humble and get to a consistent level that he may be capable of.

    I think people are being a bit harsh about Alli. Think about it, if he was from any other country and he had the goal record he has at his age people on here would be raving about him.

    There's no reason why he can't make it right to the top of the game.

    I don't think it's unfair to say he is that he isn't the best young player in the world.

    This is the same World Cup where he scored 5 goals to take Italy to the final, where he won the silver ball and was named in the World cup all star team.

    I can't stand Neymar either :50:
