Well, to each their own. For me, I define a world class player as someone who can join the best teams like Madrid, Barca, Bayern, Liverpool, Chelsea, PSG, City, Arsenal, etc and improve their performance immediately and may be, win major trophies.

A player who was world class in the past can stop being world class due to injuries, age, etc. for that, I don't consider KDB and Greizman world class anymore. They were world class but not anymore. I don't think both can be nailed on starters for the best teams around the Globe right now. KDB won't start at PSG or City right now.

Isak is the closest to what will be world class on that list. If he join Una club right now, he starts immediately, no questions asked.

Modric at 39, 40 is world class and you say kdb and griezman are not. Whatever shiiiit you are sniffing. Pass it up

Class is permanent, form is temporary.

KDB will forever be a worldclass player.

Nothing person no go read for Nairaland..

Hazard at Chelsea was not world class coming from a supposed Chelsea fan

You dey mind am?

[quote author=AbokiWam post=136677758][/quote]Ansu fati was the first player that merited the prestigious No10 shirt immediately after Lionel Messi from Barcelona.

He was praised and hyped by Messi himself as next big thing yet ansu fati has been forgotten already because he couldn't shine after injury.

That's why 1 season can't make yamal world class,only consistency.

Gucciboy:
Cole Palmer's opinion doesn't matter. What matters is facts and records.

Saka starts for arsenal and england but he's not world class so it's subject to consistent performance over time.

Again, it's an opinion. You already said that arguably Chelsea's greatest player in recent memory and one of the best players in EPL isn't world class so it's an opinion stuff.

I think Yamal is world class, I also consider Hazard absolutely world class. You said both aren't so again, to each, their own.

AbokiWam:
One of my definitions of worldclass

But the thing is football quality has dropped these days

So....

Diaz can start in madrid or Barca
But still him no be WC

Diaz isn’t a better player than Vinicius so he wont start

He will only start at Barca if raph is willing to play as a 10

You dey talk better thing before you come use this bold spoil am

World class player dey get 5 CL goals from open play all career?

akwesenana:
A world class player walks into any team's first eleven without competition.

A world Class player is one that can make a first team squad of the world - if you select 22 players in the world for a squad, he will be among

Hazard was never in a World squad but came close

Gucciboy:
Barca fans will disagree with you

I just pretend like say I no see the name

Gucciboy:
This is emotional conclusion because if ansu fati should happen on yamal you wouldn't be saying this any longer.

He's still a good kid not world class

You can say yamal isn’t world class yet which is fine

But this ansu fati matter na him Dey tire me ,he was never a full time starter for Barca ,when he wanted to be a full time starter he had that injury ,so I don’t get the reference you people make with him

Do you know ansu fati started more games for Barca when he fell of then when he was very good ?

Realtord43:
Where you around during Ansu fati era?

That should answer your question why you shouldn't be in a rush to Rate a player with less than 5 seasons to his name.

Ansu fati was so good then, some were saying he will surpass Messi Career, his potentials was so high then just like Yamal.

Let not rush Yamal yet because I believe there is more to come from him and he hasn't peak fully yet.

Ansu fati was so good then that he can’t even make the Spanish national team ?

Ansu fati was so good then that he was mostly a super sub ?

He was good though but you people are sounding like he was ever the main man at Barca

AirBere:
You do realise that nobody ever said this right?

Fati was a center forward in the academy and made his name as a left winger. He was nothing like Messi, didn't have enough pace, was a weak dribbler. His style of play is like that of Gakpo, Rodrigo who are goal scoring wingers. He was nothing like Messi in terms of career trajectory. Yamal actually has something in common with Messi though.

yes he had the potential to be world-class but nobody said the emboldened. Without injuries may be he could have become something very big. Who knows??

Fati was so good then but it was when he fell of that he played his most minutes for Barca

He was so good that he couldn’t even make the Spanish team then

You can say yamal isn’t world class ,but he has been consistent for 2 seasons though

Real Madrid dream scenario: Guehi + Konaté arrive next season without spending a euro as free agents.

Hazard was never in a World squad but came close

Hazard can be categorized as top level player.

Most of these players now Saka, Bellingham,vinicius junior,Diaz,isak,osimhe Olise,dembele,Palmer,yamal and so on are all top players(top level).

World class
Top level
Good
Average

This is the categories no emotions

Yamal is top level player no argument no emotions

swiz123:
You are highly correct. I have schooled Popizaino on this but he is very stubborn. A player might be good at farming stats but choke when the career defining situations arises. Saka is a solid candidate here.

Some players show world class potentials but would later just fall off. That is why consistency is prerequisite.

Which of these criterias listed by Realtord43 has not been met by Bukayo Saka?

You are the stubborn one here.

Saka for the past couple of years has been consistent with his performance while delivering decent numbers for a supposed attacking wingers but yet he doesn't click the world class button for you.

Whilst at that,this player has consistently showed up in big games by scoring multiple goals and delivering assists against big teams such as Man city,man urinated, Liverpool, Chelsea, real madrid, PSG but yet you want God to come from heven to tell you before you believe abi?

I know the quality of football these days is at an all time low but that does not take away the fact that someone like is a worldclass player in this age and time.

Gucciboy:

There are few world class players available at the moment.

Wait , did I just read someone saying DIAZ is not world class , as in the same Luiz Diaz ..


Name a winger currently better than Luis Diaz ...

Diaz is one of the notable mentions that guide Liverpool to the trophy last season .. In fairness, one would even say he had more impact than Salah as he always has his work rate .. someone that was deployed out of position and still thrive there .. how many of your world class player can play out of position and still thrive there ..


Szobozslai is world class .. who is gonna argue that .. it's not about consistency, it aabout performaning however and whereever you meet yourself and have an impact ..

Diaz is world class anyday anytime .. .Even your mbappe is not consistent

Play saka out of position, would be perform??

I'd love to see saka play as 9 for his team and perform .. Until he does that , he is not world class

Irrespective of the metric used, we can all agree Mbappe is world class, right?

The only time Saka hit 30 plus goal contribution in a season was in 23/24 and he hasn’t won anything.

Your bar must be really low to recognize such a player who drives on crosses as his creative technique as world class player.

🚨 BREAKING: Chelsea’s UCL squad :

Sanchez, Jorgensen, Cucurella, Tosin, Badiashile, Colwill, Hato, Chalobah, James, Gusto, Fofana, Fernandez, Palmer, Gittens, Essugo, Santos, Caicedo, Neto, Delap, Joao Pedro, Guiu, Estevao, Garnacho.

So Lavia won't be fit enough to make our UCL squad.

popizaino:
Class is permanent, form is temporary.

KDB will forever be a worldclass player.

Na why you wan make we sign Marcelo and Ronaldinho.

popizaino:
You dey mind am?

The same hazard very flop for Mardrid??

World class as how 😏😏😏


A world class has to world class not selectively .

.which one be he was world class at Chelsea

That doesn't count..

Inspector Lawal na world class sha. Hypothetically, no RW starts ahead of him.
