10 Most Overrated Players In World Football Right Now

8. Joe Hart (Manchester City)

The England shot-stopper continues to win rave reviews for, well, not much. After moving to Manchester City as a promising youngster from Shrewsbury Town, the 28 year old has currently cemented his place as number one for both club and country. However, although he makes the odd good save, Hart is frequently at fault for the goals he concedes. He is a prime example of the British media having their favourites and it appears that he has started believing the hype himself. With England being blessed with an abundance of talent between the sticks, it could be argued that Jack Butland and Fraser Forster could deserve the England number one jersey more than Hart, but suffer from 'smaller club syndrome'. Plus, he always needs to have his say in any incident and, even though he isn't club captain, he is often seen running out of his area to berate a referee if he feels an opposing player deserves a more severe punishment. The fact that the likes of Petr Cech and David De Gea currently ply their trade in the Premier League mean Joe Hart may not even be in the top-three goalkeepers in the league, let alone the world.
