But that's another debate.

    If Yaya and Drogba aren't World Class, what's Ozil, Cesc and RVP?
    Agree with this, although to be fair I think NQ is (more or less) saying the same thing, just with different lables? Either way we're talking one class of extremely good footballers, and then another, even more exclusive / special class of talent beyond that...

    Edit: a simple test for 'world-class' for me is whether a player would walk into most top sides in the world - the level above that I would reserve for players who make such an impression that you'll be talking about them for the rest of your life...
