    I thought Cundy was a midfielder

    Edit - holy crap, he was a defender

    Your over rated keeper should be Ian Walker ?

    Same. Most of them fulfilled the purpose they were signed for, if not more. Having a weakness doesn't make you over-rated, it makes you human. Lloris, Walker, Jan, Rose, Dembele, Kane, Lamela etc. all have very obvious weaknesses (near post, concentration, positioning, rash tackling, pace, right foot) but we still love them.

    For me, an 'Over-rated XI' needs to focus on the price tag of the player, add to this their reputation and relative experience prior to joining, and compare that to how much they actually delivered (hence Gallas on a free is a no-brainer)...

    Gomes (still our 2nd most expensive GK ever signed)
    Perry Fazio Vega Thatcher
    Bentley Paulinho Boateng Pienaar
    Bent Soldado

    The end of that video sent me off to an hour of John Oliver/Jon Stewart genius.

    Another big disappointment was Jamie O'hara. A great player when he was coming through the ranks, got into our first team, still looked a really decent prospect and then threw it all away by getting all Big Time Charlie and now on footballs scrap heap and his social life in a mess.

    That's fine. The sky is the limit with these things. My wife just had a suggestion which I will humour her with as she has allowed me a slice of the cake in the fridge that I am 'not allowed to eat' because I am 'getting fat ahead of my years' (genuine quote).

    Best Looking Spurs PL XI:

    Vorm
    Charlie Jan Vega Davies
    Anderton Redknapp Krancjar Ginola
    Berbatov Gudjohnsen

    I'm no expert, but I'd be feeling pretty hard done by right now if I was david bentley.
