The definition of a World Class differs too. I think someone who's world class means somebody who can regularly win games for his team single on their own. Whether through defending to save his life, creating that vital goal scoring chance or by scoring.
Would you put them ahead of Neuer and Buffon?
By the way, Aspas is a great shout. Can't believe I forgot to add him to my list.
Lloris, Courtois, Kompany, Filipe Luis, Yaya Toure, Fabregas, Hazard, Silva, Aguero.Would put Chelsea Mata in there but he hasn't done enough at United yet for me.
Surely Mata has done more for Chelsea than Filipe Luis has though? If that is the argument you make for not including Mata then Filipe Luis should be nowhere near that list.
Y'all should be ashamed of yourself for not having Steven Gerrard listed in this thread. Don't care how old he is...like Pirilo he would walk into almost any team in the world. And that's how I define World Class....a player that could walk into any team in any league in the world. Sturridge probably qualifies as well on skill, maybe not on notoriety.
Those two don't play in the Premier League.You were asking for World Class players playing in England were you not?
Eh, I was and I wasn't. I was asking who are world class players. I was going by a premise of a two deep. Not players playing in England (unless you think they are among the top two at their position in the world).
Actually from the thread title you were asking who where world class in the EPL
Toure, Kompany, Fabregas, Aguero, Silva, Gerrard (was, no sure he is quite that now)Sterling, Coutinho, Hazard next gen.
Fabregas? Not sure. He was close to world class a couple of years ago.
Fabregas imo wasn't well used at Barca, at Arsenal in his last few seasons he was the best midfield player in the country, yes even better than Stevie. (Of course I will deny this if asked ) I think Mourinho will again bring the best out of Fab .... still believe we missed out not signing him.
