Vertonghen is a typical overrated Spurs player. See Dembele, Walker etc. for further info.
Walker is not overrated, us Spurs fans think he's a brainless tit who makes an infuriating amount of errors. Would be delighted to see him leave, it'd instantly improve our defense. Not sure about opposition fans but I rarely hear anything good about him. He couldn't cross to save his life either.
He's lightning fast, strong and a decent tackler but he's a rubbish footballer at the end of the day. Some of our fanbase really rate Dembele and he was pretty good in his first season with us. He's immensely strong on the ball and a brilliant dribbler but he has no end product whatsoever and looked poor last season. Don't really like him and prefer Paulinho/Dembele or even Capoue (who looked very sharp to start off with for us, before being injured) in midfield over him.
Posted this before but more detailed list of Spurs players I rate:
Lloris: He makes me wince very often, but he's basically a poor mans Neuer. His coming out saves more goals than it costs but he still judges a few poorly and makes too many mistakes. Still a quality shot stopper though and one of the best keepers in the league around De Gea, Begovic, Cech etc.
Vertonghen: Some of you don't rate him particularly highly, but I do. I think he's a victim of being surrounded by a terrible defense. Yes, he's not the best defender around but his attacking attributes are a massive plus for any side and were a huge asset in his first season for us. He was genuinely in most matches our 2nd biggest attacking threat after Bale, which is pretty insane. He's a decent defender who's very good on the ball and would excel next to a truly world-class defender like Kompany, Silva etc. Put him in a top side and he'd look very good indeed. Put him next to Rose, Naughton, Dawson and a destroyed Kaboul and any defender on this planet would look poor. Not to mention Walker being a bloody disaster case and Lloris sometimes going on suicide runs.
This all accompanied by AVB's suicidal high line with Dawson in it made him look poor.
Eriksen: Not sure how some of you don't rate him as a top talent. He's capable of absolute magic. Personally think Oscar is extremely overrated and was poor for most of the 2nd half of last season. Would certainly not swap the two. The moment Spurs fans saw him vs. Norwich we were raving about him, I believe he had two gorgeous assists in that game. His set pieces are absolute dynamite, he's a sublime passer and a brilliant dribbler, he can score absolute worldies, has a bit of pace to him as well. His technique is brilliant. He came in to our side and looked easily the best player despite not actually ( I believe ) being at his best and playing in a woefully out of form side with two different managers. What exactly does Oscar offer he doesn't? Work rate is all I can think of. Top talent and the statistics back that up.
Lamela: Didn't see much from him, obviously. However, I've asked around to enough Roma fans and watched enough youtube clips (Yes, I know..) to see the massive potential. Even for Spurs at times, when he got on the ball you got excited. He's clearly a potentially brilliant player who needs careful treatment. Him being in form for us next season is absolutely crucial.
Out of fear about this becoming an essay, the others are Capoue, Sandro and genuinely Soldado, who I believe is a good player who is simply not playing in a system that fits him at all and lost his confidence completely. Capoue was excellent before his injury, Sandro is still a very good DM but was poor last season so we'll see.
So that's 7 players I rate out of our entire squad as not being poor/average. Paulinho I don't like very much but he's a solid, unspectacular CM.
To say "Overrated spurs player" is ridiculous though. Like I've said before; Modric and Bale were both considered hugely overrated when they played for us. It's pretty funny really, one is now the best midfielder in the world in my view and the other the most expensive player of all time and a CL winner.
Whatever, there's no point arguing with somebody who thinks he's "Nothing really special."
