Before 2014 World cup Neuer was already the best keeper in Europe. He was UEFA keeper of the year 2013. he was world best keeper of 2013

All these before the world cup

What were the individual achievement of VDS over cech
same neuer that conceded 6 goals to man utd? anderson even scored a brace against neuer.
abeg.....van der sar was the best european goalie in 1995 when ajax won
the UCL with kids. in 95, neuer was still suckling his mom's boobs.

don't compare sleep with death. van der sar ruined his career himself by
going to fulham after leaving juventus. neuer is protected by a good defence
unit and we all know how guardiola's obsession with passing football reduces
opponent's chances from shooting at the defence.

In my opinion, Robben was definitely worldclass at Chelsea. His talent was never in doubt...only his ability to stay fit.

He went from Chelsea's 1st team to Madrid's 1st team after winning 2 EPL titles in England and won the La Liga in his 1st season at Madrid.

You can't just walk into Madrid's 1st team if you are not World Class
Lol. The Madrid Robben walked into is not this Madrid

The madrid of then was Reyes, Heinze, Diarra, Drethe, Gago, Baptista, Van Der Vaart Robinho Saviola. which decent footballer wont walk into that Madrid?

VDS conceded 5 goals to AC Milan despite being protected by a better defence.

Like i said VDS had a good start in Ajax and tanked afterwards until his Man utd days

Which good keeper isnt protected by a good defence

My point is walking into Madrid of 2007 isnt a big feat anyone can do it if those i listed did. How hard can it be to displace Drethe, Reyes and baptista

Robben became world class post Chelsea is my point

When ferguson named his World class in Man Utd despite coaching several English player, Scholes was the only one he named.
while I'm inclined to respect Sir Alex's view, I think Rio Ferdinand was world class in his prime. His partnership with Vidic was the bedrock upon which successfully campaigns we relaunched & it compares favorably to any defensive pairings from before the Priemer League era till date!

Ferdinand was not world class but I would say Vidic was close to World class. In his time he was one of the best maybe in amother era say 90's he might not have been rated as highly.

Generally people especially all these newbie fans throw the term world class around recklessly. Some already call hazard, Sterling Harry Kane world class. That's why I call them DSTV fans. Ask some Manure DSTV fans the world class players in man utd and they would list over 30players yet Ferguson the manager himself named just 4
I don't know what you always mean by DSTV fans but in the short time that I have been following Man United, I can name more than four world class players even if their prime years with us were not that long.
Schmeichel & van der Sar EASILY grace the list for starters, not more than two goalkeepers from their respective times can beat their chest @ being better.
Roy Keane
Evra
Vidic
Ruud van Nistelrooy

Some people can tag on a good partner like Terry leeched on carvalho and Rio tagged on Vidic

I think Fergie would be a better judge

oshea - brown - heinze - evra(first leg)
oshea - brown - vidic - heinze(2nd leg)

and vidic was rushed back from injuries after evra got injured in the first leg tie.
in that defence, first teamers like neville & rio were missing and vida was half-fit.

The term World Class will always remain subjective and always relative to a footballing period. The term World Class will also depend heavily on the availability of quality players in any period.

Jeremy Matthieu and Ter Stergen are not trying to get into a loaded area of Barca lineup

To get into Madrid of 2007 in attacking you only need to beat out Reyes baptista Saviola and Drenthe compared to now where you need to beat Ronaldo, Bale, Hames, Isco

You cant honestly say theres no difference

ok as you say.

but from my time i can say Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard, Ferdinand & Ashley Cole were world class players i have seen from England. Wayne Rooney & John Terry were very close. Campbell, Adams & Seaman were close.

Being World Class has noting to do with numbers.
Off the top of my head - and I may be wrong on this - there may have been 8 strikers better than Raul Gonzalez when he was at his peak. No one in their right mind would have said he wasn't world class.

those were some of the best players in europe then.
you have to agree that the quantity of quality players peaks and declines
season after season. right now, the quantity of quality players is incredible
but back in 2007, who were the top players? kaka won ballon d'or that year, didn't he?

kaka of all people?

raul gonzalez in 98-2000?
no fecking way. world class is about numbers, abeg.
hazard wouldn't get into the current barca team.....he might
sneak into the madrid team though and that's because of benzema
making way for ronaldo in the middle.....with hazard going to the
left position.

In my opinion there should be a bar for the term World class just like we have Hall of fame in Basketball

So it doesnt have to do with the period. If 10 players make it currently then they are all world class, if another time comes and no one makes that cut then no one is world class

We cant say Ronaldo Lima is world class and another time Gommis is the best striker due to lack of talent so we just make him world class

Thats my opinion and I think thats Fergusons thinking too

So you also believe that individual achievements of players is crucial to determine which player is better than the other? I love this. cool cool cool

so if for the next 2 years, gomis becomes the best striker in the world
we wouldn't call him world class because of lack of talent?

there was a time carl lewis was winning olympic gold(100m sprint) with 9.99 secs
in this day and age, he wouldn't make the top 20. so carl lewis isn't world class?

Like nateevs rightly said, defining the phrase ''world class'' would always remain subjective.

So it's easy to see assertions like ''Boateng is world class but Vidic wasn't'' - views that'd have you wondering if you're trapped in a damn Oshodi news stand cheesy

I dey bro. Make we relate via mail, we've got one or two to talk about.
