SuperMac was a real crowd pleaser

If you half close your eyes, you could mistake Malcolm McDonald for Maradona.

I think Pogba is world class but he joined man utd at the wrong time. There are no strong voices in the dressing room now. Mourinho's ethos is as anti Man utd as you can get and Ole is well Ole.

A Keane, Scholes, Pogba mf would have been fantastic to watch IMO.
Zeze and real aren't going to pay a 9 figure sum for a mug.

he's world class or a mug,what is it?

By:

rommel When: 08 Jul 19 20:38

if pp is world class youd see flashes of that class in nearly every game,he'd dominate some games,a beast of a player just with one thing lacking.....- between his ears

Tbf Last season, Pogba was playing in a team w/ no chance of winning the League.

Bale overrated? Wow, really?? Some people have a very short memory.

its not going to happen but i'd love to see bale go to barca, he'd have such a point to prove

i've seen a clip from bt where robbie savage says on his day he was world class

By:

Mario Balotelli was world class until he showed his ability..

On 21 December 2010, Balotelli won the Golden Boy Award, saying only one of the past winners was slightly better than he was: Lionel Messi.
He also claimed not to know of Arsenal's Jack Wilshere, the player he narrowly beat to the award.

Amazing he had not heard of another world class player.

agree, no way was Robbie Savage ever world class

(i might have misread that post)

By:

jollyswagman When: 09 Jul 19 13:28

i have a feeling that robbie savage is very probably the only person in the world who thinks that robbie savage was world class

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVOzA4Rt8fk - unsurprisingly the other pundits didnt seem to agree. 'at times, i'll be honest with you, i was world class ... on individual games'

I think there used to be a joke back in the 1970s, "What is brought to the cup final every year but never used?.....Malcolm Macdonald" (I think the real answer was the losing team's ribbons). I actually liked him and don't think he was overrated at all.

Messi, he is just like a non drugged skinny Maradonna

Agree with Naymar and Pogba, no one has mentioned Hazzard as yet, he's a good player but not world class imo

By:

hazzard not world class

name me 5 better players in the world better

Benzema - France and Real Madrid used to think he is world class.

If I'm brutally honest with myself I think true world class genius has skipped a generation. Most of the great players I see are in their 30s. There are parallels in tennis as well. Federer 37, Nadal 33, Djokovic 32 still bossing. Pretty similar in football.

I suppose it's a matter of definition/semantics

Depends on whether 'world class' is your own opinion or what the media tell us is 'world class'. If the latter then Wilshere would be up there, Sterling too. Neymar is overrated but that's more down to his own attitude than lack of world class talent.

if its owen hargreaves opinion of world class then this is going to be a very long thread

jeez was wilshere and world class ever used in the same sentence, shocking!! rooney or kane

By:

kincsem When: 13 Jul 19 22:31

^ you should read Wilshere's Wiki page.

It makes him sound like Pele, Cruyff, Maradona, Messi, Ronaldo all in one package.
His mother must have wrote it.
