ever joined an english team when he was world class?
had chat with few mates other night and this question was asked there wasnt many names flying about i only thought of 2 or 3
yaya toure
aguero
torres? maybe
guys like van persie were not world class when they came to england
and other leagues can boast many players joined theres leagues when they were world class
i guess its how you define world class but i think if your in top 3 players in world in your position your world class
Has a world class player

What about Juan Veron ?
When he went to Utd he was considered one of if not the best central midfielder in world football.
Didn´t work out so well for Veron in English football but he was a world class player for Lazio.

Michael Essien.
Was one of the most coveted player, was in world class form at Lyon.
So was Malouda

Cech was getting rave reviews in France was considered the best keeper up there before his move to Chelsea.
Love how he hit the ground running instantly.

Maicon & Larsson not world class best years behind them.

Marcel Desailly was world class when he came to us (the best bit is we sold doobs to leeds and used the money to pay for Marcel and still had 700,000 left over)

I recall thinking we'd hit the jackpot when Gullit joined us...he was probably just past his best though
How about Zola...or did we make him world class
