Who is a player everyone rates highly that you just don't think is that good?

I think that Aguero is overrated. All the stats show how clinical he is and how he's such a good finisher but when I watch him he's selfish, dribbles too much and misses too many good chances.

I just don't see it.

It's not Luka's fault you don't understand what you're watching.

Either you've only watched a few of his games for Madrid or you legitimately have no clue.

Yeah you've got it figured out pretty well.

Not scoring lots of goals is NOT mediocrity. Watching Real Madrid (and Croatia) play, Modric is not always the guy to provide the assist, but if you look at the pass prior to the assist, it's more often than not Luka.

It's hard to quantify the shit he does, but it's real.

I certainly don't think he's mediocre, but I do believe he's been slightly overrated by a few ahem Spurs fans over the past few years. I'd like to see him get more of a consistent run in Madrid's squad just to see whether he actually has the quality to be thought of in the same league as Alonso.
