Whos the biggest meme player in history??

>>75716481
Beckham wasn't really a meme. Yes, he was a huge celebrity, but he was very good in his prime.

He was never the best player in the world, but no one was better with set pieces, corners, and crosses than him.

Paul Scholes is the most overrated player in the history of football, so I'd go with him.

Japanese guy at Celtic.

If you mean that he was memed to be shit, then yes.

Beckham was a legend. Him and Giggs even made a duo of Cole-Yorke a lethal force.

My nom for the biggest meme player ever is Gascoigne.

>>75719925

€35 million was a lot of money for a football transfer back in 2003, when it happened it was in the top 10 of most expensive transfers ever

>>75719904
And immediately began to decline at Madrid. Ferguson saw it coming, why else would he have sold a club and country legend?

>>75719961
Not for someone like Beckham, talented enough to play for any top team and already had a massive, profitable brand. There's a reason Barca threw 45 million at them.

>>75718890

Rooney's a strange one. There was a time when I thought he could have played in any outfield position and quickly become one of United's best players there. But complacency and a body type not suited to longevity have ruined him. He's awful now and with a fully fit squad shouldn't even make the bench of what's a pretty weak United side.

>>75719950

Juninho was better at free kicks, not at the things listed

Robinho, Ben Arfa, Depay, Balotelli, Quaresma

KSI singlehandedly ruined his life

It's cause he plays for United, no one other than United fans will ever give him or pretty much any United player credit where it's due cause of their own bias/hatred/salt

wrong. his longball/cross accuracy was unmatched. back in the days of 4-4-2 with deeper widemen he was everything you wanted from a winger.

I agree, Rafa Marquez is such a failure, he was present in all of Mexico's later embarassments or even provoked them yet the press rode his dick all the time.

His tackling was appalling

>>75724325
Only cause they teased him about being ginger

So now meme means "overrated". Good to know.

You know remember Freddy Adu.

Chicharito is one huge meme

Fortunately most people in here stopped overrating him

But l guess it's still overhyped by chicanolards in the U.s.

>>75719975
Because he started to disrespect Ferguson and Ferguson's philosophy is to sell any player that thinks they are bigger than the club/manager. There's a big chapter in Ferguson's autobiography documenting their fall out.

>>75719925
Manchester United always sell cheap. They don't need the money.

>>75716943
Lampard also came second

Winston Bogarde is def my favorite meme man. Aside from playing in the Ajax 94-95 squad with our Litmanen, he just shamelessly made bank by sitting on the bench and training with youth teams at like 30 for the most part of his career .

Pirlo is probably THE most meme player. He was literally never mentioned here ever, but then his contract was coming to an end and he was leaving on a free he suddenly became the GOAT. In fact, other than during internationals, he wasn't mentioned anywhere.
Face it, your meme league hasn't been relevant for 20 years and has zero credibility because of how rigged it is.

He was one of the the better players America has ever produced. He played for a Premier Leaugue squad which not many Americans can claim to have done. Was he averge compared to the best Europe has to offer? Sure. You could argue Japan has produced more stars players than America, and they have.
