10 Most Overrated Players In World Football Right Now

9. Radamel Falcao (Chelsea)

It's fair to say that the forward's worst decision of his career was to come to England. Unsuccessful moves to Manchester United and Chelsea have seen the Colombian's stock fall dramatically, but he is still held in high regard across Europe. After spending a productive two years leading the line for Porto, Falcao was the subject of a club-record transfer to Atletico Madrid for ‚40 million. Scoring an impressive 52 goals in 68 games propelled the striker to superstardom and moneybags Monaco splashed an astonishing ‚60 million to take him to Ligue 1. However, that is where things started to sour. Netting 11 in 20 games for the French side, an ACL injury ruled Falco out for a long period and Manchester United thought it would be a wise idea to take him to Old Trafford and the back of his reputation. That move quickly backfired and the frontman proved to be an expensive mistake for the Red Devils. His inability to gel with English football didn't deter Jose Mourinho though, and currently on loan at Chelsea, it appears unlikely that he'll get another opportunity to add to his solitary goal for the London club under the guidance of Guus Hiddink, making him yet again an expensive mistake for a Premier League club. With Monaco apparently willing to offer him a lifeline, it remains to be seen whether the 30 year old is destined for the dumpster, but another chance at a club while earning big bucks seems on the cards for a player with what looks like very little left to offer on the main stage.
