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.

swiz123:
Wrong. A potential world class player can attain a world class status if they are consistent and win important trophies with their performance being integral to the team’s success.

So it isn’t a potential, it is a status.

AirBere:
Yamal for me is world class simply because he'll be the first name on the team sheet of any team you can think of right now. Players, fans, managers are already seeing him as the best or one of the very best.

For Spain, he's their best player after Rodri. For Barca, he's outrightly thier best player right now.

Of course it's subjective so to each, their own.

MorataFC:
Saying a player must play at their peak for five years before we call them world-class is too strict. In today’s football, world-class means being one of the best in your position right now, not after serving time. With stats and tough competitions to judge from, it’s easier to spot when a player is already performing at the very top level.

A world-class player should be judged by their numbers, how well they perform in big games, and how much they improve their team. Some players can show this in just one or two seasons, especially if they are playing in the best leagues or major tournaments.

Also, not every world-class player has to break records. You can be world-class without breaking a single record, does it mean a striker has to score 91 goals in a calendar year like Messi before he can be called world-class? Definitely not. Defenders, midfielders, and playmakers can be world-class because they control games, stop opponents, or create chances that change results. Consistency truly matters, but world-class is really about beinh among the best in the world at your time, and players can prove that without waiting for donkey years.

[color=royalblue]The potential is my point.

He shared a list of young players. A 28 years old is the oldest there. How can you say there's no World class player there, even though we know time can change it or not?

People break sporting records at 18, 20, 21. What years of consistency do you think they have?

Yamal is a World class player as at today. Over time, he will prove it with stats.[/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I have asked what the stat of an 18 year old should look like nau?

Just give me an idea.[/color]

raumdeuter:
Serious Chelsea fans know the truth


Because na legend for your club does not make him a world class player. Carragher might be called a Liverpool legend but was never world class

AirBere:


You don go microwave raumdeuter food lol

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Yamal is 18.

What should be the World class stat for an 18 year old?[/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue]So there's was something to be seen right?

A World class player just has time to prove it. Nothing more.

The same way Haaland and Mbappe came out, is the same way Isak and Ekitike will have to prove it.

Yamal is World class, and he's 18. Or should we say Yamal needs 10 seasons to prove it?[/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue]World class is a potential, and not seasons upon seasons.

If the potential is there, the person can be World class, and time will prove it.

Ronaldo was already World class in Manchester United.[/color]

Onana bye bye

popizaino:
I feel we don't appreciate Cristiano enough. Every player who went through this kind of mean challenges got injured along. From Ronaldo delima,Owen,etc.

Vischy:
Benfica got 2 good defensive midfielders in Enzo berrenchea and Richard Rios as replacement.

we play them as 2nd ucl game on September 30.

Payporte01:
Apart from wirtz,tah, frimpong, and xhaka who else?,

andrewbaba44:
Donnaruma is a world class GK and will start for any team not having courtois and maybe Allison

But I don’t think it was a needed signing for city

Kimbeast:
I am loving the fact that we no longer have any excuse not to win the league. Watching with a relax mind.

monerozi5590:
The same person that rated Gallagher, Hojbjerg and don't rate Rodri is the same person that said Elliott is better than Szobozlai. .

I wonder how Ibime sees football sometimes. He has a thing for mechanical players
