Do we have 0 world class players now?

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Genuinely?

No

Thought Theo was World class.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

cazorla is world class and you know it.

Id say he's quality would not say world class. TBH there are not that many world class players out there tbh. Not lke their used to be anyways.

Thought Theo was World class.

You thought wrong

There is no one

Not one of our team would get in to the first team of the best team in the world.

Wilshere is already comfortably the best English midfielder. Whether that rates as world class is another matter. Cazorla and Arteta are obviously world class players. Ox will develop into a magnificent player. Merts is looking increasingly as good as anyone else you can think of in that position, literally defending on his own recently.

World class today is a much, much lower standard than it used to be. People would say Rooney is world class and I suppose he is by current standards.

Arteta world class?

Really?

Hes been shocking for the most part since hes been here. A nothing player

Spot on. Its not like in the days when you could buy a world class player for 10-20 mill. The days of Fat Ronaldo, Rivaldo.

Only world class players for me Are Messi and Ronaldo,Iniesta and a few more to boot.

Arteta world class?

If you mean did he get a hat trick against Reading in the CC, true, he's shit. But as a metronomic pass machine that plays across the width of the pitch, tackles back and distributes without fail I can't think of anyone better.

Iniesta

Ronaldo for sure.

Messi possibly

After that, you struggle to name any.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Falcao is another.

And ours in the future.

[Niall_Quinn]

Iniesta

Ronaldo for sure.

Messi possibly

After that, you struggle to name any.

Iniesta is world class by any standard. Why would you even bother WUMing on that one? Arteta is a good WUM because he's in a struggling team and is less flamboyant than the Barca pixies. But Iniesta is just pure, undeniable class. And he's consistent, unlike Ronaldo.
