Other players never to have won the CL:
Buffon (Parma FC, Juventus)

Vieira (Arsenal FC, Juventus, FC Internazional Milano)
Nedved (AC Sparta Praha, SS Lazio, Juventus)
van Nistelrooy (PSV Eindhoven, Manchester United FC, Real Madrid CF)
Thuram (AS Monaco FC, Parma FC, Juventus, FC Barcelona)
Cannavaro (Parma FC, FC Internazionale Milano, Juventus, Real Madrid CF)
Bergkamp (AFC Ajax, FC Internazionale Milano, Arsenal FC
Matthäus (FC Bayern München, FC Internazionale Milano
Batistuta (ACF Fiorentina, AS Roma, FC Internazionale Milano)
Weah (AS Monaco FC, Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan)
Baggio (AC Milan, FC Internazionale Milano)

And imo the greatest No.9 in the last 40 years:
Ronaldo (FC Internazionale Milano, Real Madrid CF)

Anyhow, vastly overrated, the lot of them.

I don't know many that really rate him. But I agree. In the last world cup in an English defence containing Walker, Stones and Ashley Young he was the most awkward looking in possession. He suddenly somehow became an £80m player
 
 

He was one of our best defenders in possession.  He made numerous runs forward

Scott Carson and Djimi Traoré have though, and that obviously makes them better than that bunch of no-marks.

I'd actually counter to say he's under rated for the job he does. Also has scored 40 goals in 99 games that's a decent return.

Na he has never been a starter for a top club and now he’s going to win his 100th cap for a French side full of great forwards! Didn’t do much during their World Cup win either.

Klose would also be overrated, great international player but an average footballer at club level.

Fkcin hell Brendy. You have ridiculously high standards. I would say Giroud is underrated. He’s brilliant at playing his role.

He hasn’t really been a first team regular for his club since he played for Montpellier in 2012, mad he’s about to amass 100 caps for such a great International side.

In his 5 seasons at arsenal he played  34,36, 27,38 and 29 games.

In terms of Klose

231 goals in 531 club appearances is a pretty decent return

Doesn’t mean a whole lot, he was never trusted to be the main striker as he wasn’t good enough plus Arsenal aren’t exactly European elite.

Who rates Giroud though? You don't often hear commentators, pundits or fans bigging him up as a top player. He does a job when called upon and is a decent squad member
 
Whereas, in many discussions about Man United in recent years all you hear is of how Pogba is the main man, world class, or how great it was that they were able to attract him etc.
Bar a handful of great passes a season he does very little else.
There's some sort of belief that he's among the best midfielders in the game at the minute

Some awful shouts in here, whatever about his attitude, Neymar is one the most talented players in the history of the game. 

Someone also mentioning Werner, why? because he has had a slow start? far from 'the most overrated player in world football' he will come good.

In my opinion I would give it to Pogba or Giggs, people always talk about Pogba having a world cup medal but he was surrounded by the best squad there and apart from his goal in the final there was not much else, a player who has his 'moments' but nowhere near some of the best midfielders in the world, most games pass him by, he has had about 4 stand out games for United in 5/6 seasons, 105 million.

Giggs was massively overrated, lived off the Arsenal goal for years (terrible defending), a good career but nowhere near as good as what people make him out to be. Even Keane who played alongside him for years feels he was overrated.

Does he?
Was he not in disbelief that he wasn't named on a team that Keane and Carragher were picking last season comparing United 99 with Liverpool from last season

Well you can add Giggs to the awful shouts list. Kin ell

In Keane & Vieira Best of Enemies, in relation to Giggs he said something like 'A great career does not make you a great player'
