Dictator

Saying Neymar isn’t a top player is actually insane. This is someone who didn’t just “sneak” into the conversation he lived there for years. Neymar finished in the Ballon d’Or top 10 6 times (2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2020), He finished in top 10 in 2011 from Santos in Brazil, and that’s in the middle of the most dominant era football has ever seen, controlled by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. He finished top 3 twice (2015,2017) League titles? He’s done it everywhere he’s been. Multiple league wins with FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, plus domestic dominance in Brazil with Santos FC. Add a UEFA Champions League, Olympic gold with Brazil, and countless domestic cups his trophy cabinet is stacked. Individually, he wasn’t just present he was elite. 2x FIFPRO World 11, 2x UEFA 11, Ligue 1 Player of the Year, Champions League top scorer (2014/15), and consistently among the most productive forwards in the world. Stats-wise, Neymar is ridiculous. He is one of only five players to have scored 100 goals with three different clubs, both the all-time Brazilian top goalscorer (43) and assist provider (33) in the UEFA Champions League, ranks second for the all-time South American men's top goalscorers in international football (79), and was the all-time top assist provider in international football (59) for two years. Over 400 career goals and 250+ assists and that’s not as a pure striker. He’s one of the most complete attackers we’ve ever seen: creator, scorer, dribbler, playmaker all in one. And that’s the key point Neymar wasn’t just “another star,” he was the player that had the talent to disrupt the Messi-Ronaldo duopoly. At Barcelona, we saw flashes of it especially in that 2015 UCL run where he delivered in the biggest moments. When he moved to Paris Saint-Germain, the idea was clear: step out of Messi’s shadow and become the best in the world. Injuries, timing, and decisions played a part, but ability-wise? Neymar is one of the most gifted footballers ever. On his day, he was unplayable the kind of player who didn’t just win games, he controlled them with flair, chaos, and end product. So no, Neymar not being a top player isn’t just wrong it ignores one of the most dominant and uniquely talented players of his generation, the only one who genuinely looked like he could sit at the same table as Messi and Ronaldo and not look out of place.

Rooney has one of the most overrated individual careers for a Striker for all his years in England, he never won a single Golden Boot. And when you dig deeper, it becomes even clearer. Wayne Rooney only won the PFA Player of the Year once in his entire career the 2009/10 season. For someone who played over a decade at the very top with Manchester United, in dominant title-winning teams, that’s not the record of a player who consistently imposed himself as the best in the league. And that tells you a lot when you’re discussing him among the very elite. Because when we talk about the greatest attackers, individual dominance has to come into the conversation not just team success. That’s the key difference. Rooney was a brilliant footballer complete, selfless, tactically intelligent. He sacrificed his game for the team, dropped deep, created, pressed, and did the dirty work. But when we talk about the very top-tier attackers, it’s not just about being good for the team it’s about individual dominance and he doesn’t have that The best strikers of a generation take over seasons. They win Golden Boots, stack up individual awards, and separate themselves clearly from everyone else. Compare that to Harry Kane, Robert Lewandowski, and Luis Suárez players who didn’t just contribute, but dominated. Multiple top-scorer awards, historic goal numbers, seasons where they were undeniably the best. Rooney had moments. Those players had eras. So when people elevate Rooney purely off nostalgia, it needs balance. He’s a legend of the game, no question but individually, he never reached that consistent, season-defining level that separates the great from the undeniable elite.

Harry Kane is suffering from the worst thing in modern football... consistency. 50 goals and nobody cares because he does it every season. Only Ronaldo and Lionel Messi truly escaped that consistency trap. For everyone else, doing it every year just makes people get used to you and pay less attention. 9 league goals man and Elche's nightmare has been getting all the balon d'or shouts simply because he's improved from last season and accumulated a couple of goals and assists this season. Kane doesn't even get the luxury of the improvement hype since he's expected to deliver as usual. • Elche's man goes from 9 league goals to 20 goals - Everyone's Wowed • Kane goes from 50 goals to 50 goals -Boring You see the pattern? At this point, consistency feels like a baller's nightmare.

Might be the worst take ever

The Overlap opinions on Neymar. Just admit you never watched him ffs🤦‍♂️

I’m worried watching this Kylian Mbappé point-9 positioning clip, always behind the CBs. It’ll be a huge problem if he doesn’t adapt quickly. This team destroyed Man City without him.
