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!!!

|Absolutely Scholes... I cant believe it took 3 posts to mention him!!! still one of THE BEST midfield players in the world!!!
plus...
Rooney, Ronaldo, Tevez, Rio, Vidic, Evra (definitely best left back in the world!), VDS still there, Id also put hargreaves in here he's one of the best in his specialised position!

Thats it... and transfer speculation regarding 2nd or even 3rd rate player such as those Wigan muppets isn't going to make that list grow!! I will be sick if we sign nobodies like that, just as sick as I was when I heard how much we spent on Carrick, second rate for that kind of money is ridiculous!!

All out for Benzema this summer!

and a shout out to Anderson, Hargo and Carrick

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!

 

[eoininho]

Of course its too early to call Anderson world class.
Note the list I had at the bottom (Hargo, carrick and Anderson)
I HAVENT put them in the World class bracket. I just gave them an
honourable mention.
For me, Anderson is a future World class player. Give him a couple of years.

I understand the mention... what I was saying was Carrick didn't even deserve a mention!!

Anderson, yes we hope a future genuine world class player, another Scholes hopefully

Edwin, is NOT world class. No way, no how. His reflexes are a fraction of what they were, he's been flapping at crosses and now his kicking is sub-par. Maybe he was world class once, but not anymore.

Tevez is not world class either. He means a hell of a lot to our team, because his energy functions as a catalyst, but I would not say he's world class.

True world class players are Ronaldo, Evra, Rio and Vidic. And when Rooney discovers his scoring boots again, he will be world-class too. I think Rio and Rooney are two of the few England players, who are wanted by the Italian and Spanish giants.

harsh on VDS, name 5 goalkeepers in the world better than him!

and I find this ridiculous that you would call VDS not of world class ability yet you have a picture of those two idiots from Wigan that we're ridiculously linked with (in ur sig), they couldnt be further away from world class if they had no legs! is that what you want at our club 3rd rate players? we have a great keeper in VDS, you'll miss him when he's gone!

I think its irrelevant that Italian and Spanish 'Giants' are interested in Rio and Rooney, the power has changed hands the premiership is THE league now!

I'm not saying Ronny's not brilliant, but is he World Class?

Pele/Maradona/Best.......He's on the road to becoming one, but that path hasn't
ended to me. He's still learning, and each season seems to cutsome of his bad
habits out.


He will be the World's best player in a season or two.......

I understand what you're getting at but he's going to be crowned world player of the year this year... he has areas of his game he needs to improve .. i believe rooney is the best in the world but regardless ronaldo is world class!

 

[eoininho]

I've never seen a post where i disagree with everything said until now. Do people forget that Ronaldo is top scorer in the Champions League. His performances in big games aren't as good as they could be but how Rooney is a world class player and Ronaldo isn't is crazy. Rooney has not been that great this season, I think Tevez has been better in all honesty. If Ferdinand is not world class then no defender will be.

exactamundo!

God, I'm not out on a Ronaldo bashing run here, but if you call George Best and Pele "World Class", then Ronaldo is not.


Of course hes been amazing this season and is deserving of the awards he seems to have already won.

I just have this thing about the term "World Class".

Would it make you all feel beter if I called him,
Outstanding/Unbelievabe/Fantastic/Awesome?



BTW, sorry for giving my view!

Oh, wait, thats what this forum is for doing, expressing opinions. Sheesh!

your making a good argument, but you're comparing him to the 3 greatest players of all time,,, of course hes not in their league but no1 today is, world class in my opinion means you're up there with the best in your field CURRENTLY.. and by that description I believe Ronaldo is world class,,, if world class means you have to be as good as pele and best then there are no world class players today!!

and you're absolutely right to argue your point! I'm given a lot of stick for my Carrick and nani bashing!

I think you need to stop watching too much Eamon Dunphy!!!!!
