We took to social media to ask just that of Sunderland fans on our Facebook and Twitter pages, with some interesting results and picks from supporters.
Here, we take a look at the results and reveal which players some supporters felt were overrated during their time on Wearside:
5. Ricky Alvarez
Was well-thought-of when he arrived on Wearside initially. I didn't work out at Sunderland, though, and his exit turned into an expensive long-running farce. Photo: Nigel Roddis
6. Connor Wickham
Was the striker overrated owing to his large price tag? Photo: Gareth Copley
7. Jordan Willis
The defender suffered a terrible injury whilst on Wearside but still makes the overrated list judging by the comments from Sunderland fans on social media. Photo: Stu Forster
8. Adnan Januzaj
Adnan Januzaj was rated as one of the most promising youngsters in Europe at one point. His stint at Sunderland, however, shows just how overrated he was. Photo: Stuart MacFarlane
