By Hitch Go To PostWhich players in the PL would you consider inarguably world class?De Bruyne
I'll kick it off with De Gea
Aguero
I would say Sanchez and Ozil too but I reckon some people would argue those.

Sanchez and Ozil definitely are world class.
fucking hell walcott is so bad
even worse when he became completely invisible in the later part of the half

Also according to this random google site
http://www.caughtoffside.com/2016/03/11/are-there-any-world-class-players-in-the-premier-league/
Mesut Ozil = world class
David Silva = world class
David de Gea = world class
Thibaut Courtois = world class
Hugo Lloris = world class
Toby Alderweireld = world class
By Wedward Go To PostOzil is world class.Get your booze in now mang.
Sanchez is close.
At the game. Classic arsenal. I love Jack.
By Hitch Go To PostWhich players in the PL would you consider inarguably world class?Aguero
I'll kick it off with De Gea
By Hitch Go To PostWhich players in the PL would you consider inarguably world class?

De Gea, Cech, Courtois (if he recovers from a poor season). Could argue Lloris as well but he has his flaws.
Defenders... avbface.png. Think Terry was astonishingly good the season before last, Alderweireld, Koscielny and Smalling probably the best around now but none of them are at the peak of the game. Bellerin is perilously close too.
Pogboom. Gundogan (when fit). De Bruyne. Silva. Micky. Ozil. Sanchez. Mahrez (if he keeps it up). Kante. Hazard (if he recovers). Willian has it in him. Fuck Coutinho. Eriksen is great on his day. Payet.
Kane. Aguero. Zlatan. Costa. Sturridge when fit and confident. Vardy needs to do it for another season.
off the top of my head.
By Slizz Go To PostGet your booze in now mang.
Was waiting in line to pee during the goal. In line for beer now. Its nuts.
By Willkiller Go To PostDefine World Class…..
Can/could do it at the top level consistently well.
By Xpike Go To Postworst part about walcott is that no one but arsenal would pay his wagesHe can be their Anderson
who can we sell him to
MLS commish Garber: "Still waiting to see on the Miami team"
"Things are happening there"
"It'll take time before real news"
Fuck off. Beckham, go to Vegas already and tell us the dream is dead. FUCK!

I thought Nesta had already saved you
By n8 the gr8 Go To PostI thought Nesta had already saved youNASL, second division. And it was Maldini actually.
But if you think MLS is bad, just think about what I'm watching in the US second division.
By Slizz Go To PostNASL, second division. And it was Maldini actually.Do you think they'll ever bring in promotion/relegation?
By Fintan Go To PostDo you think they'll ever bring in promotion/relegation?Not in the next 10/15 years. Its nowhere near big enough for that.
By Xpike Go To Postworst part about walcott is that no one but arsenal would pay his wagesNo one would fucking pay half his wages. You can't even get rid of him at half price, lol.
who can we sell him to
140k a week. Fucking hell...
EPL has a lot of players on the verge of world class though. My favorite? Dier. I hope we snatch him from Tottenham one day.
By n8 the gr8 Go To PostCan/could do it at the top level consistently well.Only a handful of the players you've listed have demonstrated that
By FlutterPuffs Go To PostEPL has a lot of players on the verge of world class though. My favorite? Dier. I hope we snatch him from Tottenham one day.In my FM save United got Dier and Alli. Scum pls.
Arsenal got Martial tho, and a decent manager. They still haven't won the league.

Which ones haven't? A fair few of them came with disclaimers. Kante, Kane and Payet the only others ones I would see people taking umbrage with by that metric.
World Class definitions are all over the place.
- Top X footballers in their position (usually between 5 and 10)
- Can change/Win games on their own
- Could play for any of the top X clubs in the world (5-10 again)
- Consistent performer in the top 5 leagues
I've never been too sure myself of which parameters to use, but whatever the definition I think it's easier to look at a player and agree if he fits the moniker than define the thing.

Kane hasn't done it consistently at the top level. Not even sure Zlatan or Costa have.

Zlatan has won leagues in Spain, Italy and France. If we're literally just counting the Champions League as the top level then that excludes an awful awful lot of players and also doesn't reflect the relative crapshoot nature of that competition compared to leagues for consistency.
By Mr Cola Go To PostWait is Pogba considered world class or on his way?Pogba's world class.
Apparently Milner is too if you believe RAWK. :/
By Mr Cola Go To PostWait is Pogba considered world class or on his way?considering the current dearth of qualiteh midfielders, I'd say he is, and he could be even better. He was one of our MVPs last season, and we aren't some scrub team innit
okay so maybe we are a scrub team but still

He's been playing in France for four years. It's just not the top level by any measure. His CL performances I can't say for sure cos I haven't seen enough but they haven't been oustanding have they? The best case you can make for him is just in his outrageous natural ability.
Zlatan has been fantastic for like a decade now.
Bloke has managed to score 60 goals for a team like Sweden as well man. SWEDEN.
PL has quite a few world class midfielders imo but defenders? None. Strikers? I think everyone would agree on Aguero but people would argue over Costa and the likes. Couple of keepers and they're obvious.

Btw, we rejected signing Zlatan two seasons ago (and the season before that) #CavoliRiscaldati
nobody really knows how good he'll be after spending a long ass time in France, yeah...
but hey, I'm SURE he can still do the small teams, so he'll get you points, no worries there.

Zlatan's been bagging goals for fun for 10+ years now. If he isn't world class then nobody is besides Ronaldo and Messi.
I have come to learn over the years that Viva has very high standards. It's why he doesn't like us anymore.
Also this thread is only good after midnight pls everyone put your clocks forward two hours so I'm not tired as fuck when the interesting stuff starts

Is it a coincidence that Arsenal are on at the same time? I think not.
