Well if you consider Tevez as debatable, then isn't Van Der Sar also a debatable one? I've not been impressed with his kicking. Especially against Barcelona, his kicking was woeful. Also i think Van Der Sar is fortunate to be protected by one of the best defences in the world.Jazz 16 said:I agree about Giggs btw.
But Tevez Im still not 100% sure that he is World Class.
great player and I love him but world class? I included him in the list as a yes,
but I have a few question marks is all....
So just the 8 then is it? No more than that anyone?
Uh....... i thought you were talking about 'current' world class playersJazz 16 said:^^^^^VDS is a legend and is most definitely World Class.
He has been for many a year. He won the European Cup with Ajax
donkeys years ago, has been performing heroics in the Prem for years
for Fulham and now United (2001-present).
He has over 120 caps for Holland which is astonishing.
All this season he has come up with wonder saves and without making
many mistakes if even any at all.
Yes his kicking has been suspect at times, certainly against Barcelona....
but over 180 mins against one of the most attack minded teams in the world
how many goals did he let in??
Exactly ;-)
wow you're a keeper? pardon me for not knowing, but are you a professional goalkeeper?rubberdecky83 said:Anyone who saw the Arsenal game would appreciate that VDS is still world class. True his kicking has been poor of late but even the great Schmeichel had a few weak ones. I disagree that the defence bail him out, am sure Wes and Rio would disagree as well.
People take a lot of his work for granted, his positional work is exceptional and I would pick him ahead of every other Prem keeper including Cech.
As a fellow keeper though, I understand well that it is a thankless task and i'm barely half as good as VDS![]()
|Absolutely Scholes... I cant believe it took 3 posts to mention him!!! still one of THE BEST midfield players in the world!!!reddwarf said:I agree with the players the rest of you have put but I feel I must also mention Paul Scholes. He may be in the twilight of his career now but he was one of the best midfielders in the World for many years and in the Champions League semi-final he showed that he still has the ability to be the difference maker. He's one of my all-time favourite players.
Bow down to the Ginger Magician!!!

Carrick... ????? I don't believe a player who would struggle to get into Villa's midfield can have any hope of ever being regarded as WORLD CLASS!Jazz 16 said:and a shout out to Anderson, Hargo and Carrick![]()
