The Official #worldclass List

I don't like the concept of "World Class" but for the purpose of clarity I have made a list of players and managers for a few teams. This is not who I think is #worldclass (a few of them are overrated IMO) but who I think in popular opinion is #worldclass.

Let me know any changes


Man Utd (7): Van Gaal, Falcao, Rooney, Van Persie, Di Maria, Mata, De Gea

Chelsea (6): Mourinho, Diego Costa, Fabregas, Hazard, Courtois, Cech

Man City (5): Aguero, Yaya Youre, Silva, Kompany, Zabaleta

Arsenal (1): Ozil

Tottenham (1): Lloris

Everton (0):

Liverpool (0):

#worldclass

edit: Sanchez and Ivanovic removed, Courtois and Cech added

 

You're right about one thing Mourinho is a World Class ****!

 

In popular opinion Gerrard is world class. Robbie Savage says it all the time.

Joe Allen is also world class.

I dont think people typically see Ivanovic as world class. Though he is solid. Same about Sanchez.

Where are Courtouis and Cech?

 

According to the beeb every united signings is ****ing world class

 

I think Gerrard was #worldclass but isn't considered that right now?

I think Ivanovic is a top, top player but will take him off if he's not generally considered #worldclass (yet another example of that label being retarded IMO)

Courtois and Cech were on my list but then I thought Cech isn't first choice and Courtois is young so had doubts but will put them back

 

and Joe Allen

 

Man Utd
van Gaal-no
Falcao- yes! this guy is brilliant!
Rooney-no
van Persie no. was about 2-3 years ago. last season at Arsenal 1st at utd.
di Maria-right up there with the best midfielders but not quite in the top 6 midfielders
Mata-no
De Gea-I think this guy is the real deal. could be the best in the world in a few years.

Chelsea
Mourinho-yes (the smug ****)
Costa-no. not as good as Falcao
Fabrigas-no if he was world class Barsa wouldn't have sold him.
Hazzard-no but could be in a few years
Courtois-no. not yet but could be
Cech-no. was once there but has dipped.

Man City
Aguero-yes
Yaya Toure-yes. does have the odd off game(not often tho) but is brilliant most games and Devastating in others
Silva-no
Kompany-no
Zabaletta-certainly great, world class? Maybe

Arsenal
Ozil-no. I thought he'd be brilliant for Arsenal but has failed to shine. better for Germany.

Lloris-no but up among the top ranks

its just my opinion. I'm sure you'll tell me if I'm wrong

 

Depends how you define world class and theres a billion different definitions.

 

I'm stunned Astro included any united players.. Also didn't list the entire Liverpool team..

 

No Sanchez


PS...where's Balotelli

 

Apparently he's crap, didn't score a hattrick on his debut

 

No hes just a huge liability who does something occasionally. Not world class at all though.

 

I've always liked balotelli. I don't think he is world class. Though he could be if he could be bothered to out the effort in.

 

I have a very small sneaky feeling that it was intended that way...

 

Surely Welbeck is now world class?

 

Not yet. Unlike hernandez who is world class for tge next season.

 

There are very few managers who are part of the elite in World Football.

For players, I use a 3 tier system. Top is your best in the position (elite).
Second is very good/"world class"
Third is "good"

e.g. for strikers
Elite - Falcao, Ibra, Suarez, Aguero etc (very few fit this category)
Second tier - Sturridge, Jovetic, Costa, Rooney (could get into most teams)
Third tier - Remy, Bony etc.

"World class" is subjective, but I reckon there are lots of "World class" players, but very few "elite" players.

And to whoever said Hazard isn't World Class.. seriously!?

 

Borini

 

If you include Mourinho I think you should also include Wenger.

 

Hate the term world class its a load of crap. You get players who look world class in certain leagues and then cannot perform in a different league. For me world class is performing at a top level and shinig where ever you play.

Ronaldo, Messi, Suarez are clearly world class.

Falcao has not been top level with consistancy for a long enough period for me.

Yaya, Kompany, Zabaleta world class

Costa seems to be heading there. I would say Ivanovic is world class.

Cech, Courtois world class

From our lot, Sterling has the potential to be world class due to his talent, influence and consistancy. And now ill be really contraversial and suggest henderson also has the qualities to prove himself a world class player.

Gerrard and Terry were world class
