      "World Class" & "Legends". Two of the most overused terms in football today.

      IMO the 2 best players from the EPL's top six:

      Arses - Sanchez & Ramsey
      Chavs - Hazard & Fabregas
      Citeh - Kompany & Silva
      LFC - Gerrard & Sterling
      Mancs -Rooney & van Persie
      Spuds - Eriksen & Lloris

      Setting aside sentimentality for Gerrard, Kompany is the only player that I would truly deem World Class.

      Would you put Silva ahead of Toure?

      I would add Begovic into the mix too, if he played for a top club I think a lot would take notice about how good he is.

      I'll go for Cech, Begovic, Hazard, Kompany, Sanchez, Fabregas, Diego Costa, Rooney, Van Persie, Yaya Toure.

      Top Class - David Silva, Mata, Sterling, Gerrard (at his age), Eriksen, Coutinho, Lloris, Joe Hart, Ramsey, Wilshere, Kosceilny

      You're putting players like Wilshere, Eriksen and Kosceilny in the top class bracket and you don't even mention Sturridge?

      I think he's better than all three, and I think he's better then Rooney who you said was world class.

      I don't see Sturridge walk into any side, he never made it at Chelsea why is that? He feels right at home with us because of the system we play and it gets the best out of him. I think he is a very good player but sometimes his decision making lets him down, plus the fact he played with a genius (Luis Suarez) who made him a better player.


      Rooney is a world class player, he would walk into any team if he is up to it. He has great ability, strength and work rate. The only problem is that he is inconsistent, but his ability is there for all of us to see.

      Why do people keep calling Fabregas world class..... just because he played for Barca foes not make you a auto world class player. Now that Suarez has pissed off kompany and Yaya are the only two who stand out for a world 11.

      Maybe Aspas makes the subs bench.

      No chance.

      He wouldn't get into our side for a start.

      Maybe it's because Chelsea never even gave him a chance in his favourite position.

      And his goal scoring rate at Chelsea is very impressive when you consider he's playing out wide.

      Rooney hasn't had a season like Sturridge's for many years to still be considered world class.

      Maybe he would now, we do have a space in the team that Fabregas should have filled.

      I'm confused Saint.

      You think Rooney would get into our team?

      Seriously..... yes. Obviously never happen, but I do mate.  He's not world class, but I don't think you need to be to get in our team at the moment.

      I think a Rooney from the time when he, Tevez and  Ronaldo were in the mancs side would get into our side but not now mate.

      Rooney had all the potential to be one of England's great players but I don't think he truly fulfilled that.

      We are not England though mate. For his club he has always scored goals (averages 20 per season for the mancs) and make plenty assists too.

      I think he has always been overrated by the English media, but he is a good player.... just not the World class wonder boy they try to make out he is.

      I actually meant one of the great English players rather than England players and agree Saint he has been a very good player but for me he wouldn't get into our side at this time.

      Rooney is good, but he wouldn't get into our team, certainly not while we have Borini in the squad.
