Bale edging out Ribery for me.

yep, loads overrated but of the top few neymar has to be a colossal under achiever, its not just the untimely injuries, its silly suspensions and all the off the field drama, such a waste of talent (so far), i hope he returns to barca and pulls himself together
I put Neymar in because i have just seen so many games where he just has not turned up. Would be a brilliant 5 a side player
Emile Heskey should never have been an England regular . Appalling
benzema for me, surely a centre forward should score more than he does.
neymar a decent shout too.

Another vote for 'arry. Couldn't understand why Sterling, Rashford, Moura and Son were playing in advanced of 'arry. He's supposed to be the no.9 right? Then it dawned on me he lacks the pace to be really called world class.
I can see him being a one clubman. Too expensive for anyone to take a risk on.

Nobody ever accused Heskey of being "world class". My vote goes to Pogba and Neymar.
Bale and Ribery before the injuries were fantastic players. In their prime 2 great wingmen
great shout that poster. forgot about him.double overrated.

noo way broo. in his pomp he was unreal
pogba is a great shout. scores the odd worldie. carried to a world cup winners medal by his team
Pogba is a great athlete but he's not a 'world class' player by any stretch of the imagination.
Even the sublimely gifted such as Messi, Cruyff & Pele had to work their Bollox off.
Pogba is a wannabe who has been endlessly told he is great far too often by the arse-licking leaches he surrounds himself with.

Can't have it that Neymar is overrated. He is a proper Rolls Royce of a player.
Ribery is a good shout though as is Toni Kroos.

Not sure if he's ever been labelled world class, but I've always thought Aaron Ramsey is overrated.
"world class" is simply a matter of opinion and the only guidance we have is the transfer fees or salary these players command. In fact the term "world class" should not have been included in the question.
World class means would get in the squad of any team at the world cup to me - which is probably vastly different to what most think it means. Mind you the amount of pundits of all sports that seem to think even the most mundane achievement on the pitch is 'unbelievable' now confuses me as to what I think 'unbelievable' is!

bale has done the busness,( more than any england player since b charlton}, for wales , done more for his country than messi done for argies, the bloke has scored in finals. GARETH youve nowt to prove to anyone, youve done it on the biggest stage, bar world cup finals ,.THERE is no doubt that the most overated of all time is beckham
WORLD CLASS PLAYERS. B CHARLTON, BECKENBEUR, MULLER, PELE,MARADONA, RONALDO, MESSI FOR CLUB ONLY , CRYUFF , BEST , BEST,ZIDANE, PLATINI, AND the most contreversial in my lot ROBBEN (CLUB SUPERB)
I once heard someone say that Pogba was an excellent athlete who dreams of being a footballer.
I don't know if you guys are old enough to remember Malcolm McDonald but that's who Harry Kane reminds me of.
Scores a fair few, misses a fair few, decent enough but never quite delivers when it really matters.

Thanks Ronnie
Used to watch him at Highbury, great old time centre forward remember him partnering Alan Ball and Alan Hudson. If I remember he cost exaxctly one third of a million .

mac was a good player,didnt he get conned out of a lot of money at one time?
Maldini and Baresi were world class , probably in the top 5 defenders of all time
supermac, seem to remember he nearly always went round the keeper in 1 on 1's
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.

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 
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)

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'

Frank Munro squad he always had "Supermac" in his pocket
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
hazzard not world classname me 5 better players in the world better
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
^ 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.

geoff hurst, did he ever score a goal for anyone (exept that hat trick}
Not sure but according to another thread he's looking good for his age.

Renato Sanches,
Won young player award at Euro 2016, won the Golden Boy award, hyped up by pundits all tournement,
Despite having a horrific first touch, and becoming such an important piece to Bayern, they felt the need to loan him out to Swansea

80 million quid for Harry Maguire. The world has officially gone insane. Although I don't think anyone has ever labeled him as "world class".
