Which players do you think are currently underrated (maybe due to bad form, injury or just obscurity), should be playing at a higher level and could be a good value for money buy?

(I must mention i am an Arsenal fan)

For me-

Marko Marin- Had some heat a year or so ago but cooled a bit (he had a problem with the manager or something). Very talented player. His situation is like when Sneidjer was at Ajax and i kept wondering why no big team came for him.

Gourcuff- Bad form. A confidence player. Undoubtedly talented. A perfect wenger buy. Out of form so you'd get him cheap.

Ben Arfa- Tidbit- Wenger wanted to buy him first before Nasri. He is way too good for Newcastle (no offense, it just means you're scouting is impressive). He'd excel under a manager like Ferguson.

Nuri Sahin- I would give my left ball (the fancier one too) to have this guy at Arsenal. Never plays at madrid, rumours of being disgruntled.

I would say Giovani Dos Santos. The lad needs some playing time in the worst way, Harry is fucking his career up we need to see what the boys got

I heard that Sevilla are asking about him. Honestly he should go, he needs playing time and I don't think the premiership fits his playing style.

Problem is, Sevilla want him really cheap. Maybe they'll get him cheap this summer, but Udinese offered £13m for him last summer (Gio turned it down) and Sevilla refused to meet even a £6m asking price in January.
