talented & not so talented

who is/was the talented player that won less trophy or none compare to his talent?

who is/was the not so talented player that won more trophies compare to his talent?

Totti is an obvious shout for a player who should have won more.

As for the other, some back up GK's like Pinto or Hilario come to mind.

pinto or hilario fall in which category, 1st or 2nd one?

can we considered many players under alex ferguson fall under 2nd category?

alex ferguson won many trophies despite had not so talented players compare to other big clubs

Micheal Ballack, should have won more. Crazy how many times he came up runner up at club and NT level.

Not so talented players who won a lot.

who is/was the talented player that won less trophy or none compare to his talent?

Di Natale, Van Persie, Hernanes, Reus
Ballack won multiple domestic titles & loss in every final of a major tournament, while legends like Gerrard and Totti have one major trophy but few domestic silverware.

first recent names on my mind are Arbeloa, Padoin, Diego Contento

Riquelme - HUGELY talented player who should have won more

Reus. Only trophy he won to this day is the german super cup.

Muntari. Its a crime that he only has one trebble, deserves more.

Ronaldo- Such a crime he has only 4 Balon D Ors and 3 CLs

Messi- Absolute joke he has 5 Balon D Ors and 4 CLs

Like when? real shit

matt le tissier (hugely talented, could be lazy at times, but hugely talented), alan shearer, i think zola could be on here, i don't know if a name like recoba qualifies cos the other three mentioned were relatively consistent who just happened to be on the wrong teams. recoba on the other hand despite talents was injury prone, super lazy and could be inconsistent...massive natural talent though

those who won a lot with little talents, i won't mention names but a lot of barcelona guys fall into this sphere....cough....valdez...cough, he's definitely not the only one btw, there's many more who have messi to thank for their careers, but that's another story

Roque Junior.

Somehow managed to win a world cup and a champions league despite lacking the necessary basic skills to become a footballer.

I think Luis Suarez, Sanchez and R9 could've won a lot more then they have already.

roque junior was super garbage and injury prone at the same time, but he played his heart out in that final against juve where he picked an injury, had his leg wrapped but carlo who was out of subs couldn't take him out, i have to give him props for that, i thought once that happened, the already not-so-good roque would become worse. but he held his own into extra time

Lmaoooo I remembered how excited I was when we signed him. Fraud was carried by Lucio ffs.

Category 2: Baros
