I was wondering the term world class gets banded around a fair bit but I was wondering how many genuine world class players do we have.... The general criteria seems to be that most other teams would love to have playing for their club or they have proved themselevs:
So I reckon we have 3:
Ozil
Ramsey
Sanchez
Maybe Walcott?
How does this compare to others, I think City and Chelsea have the most..... I don't think Spurs have one...

It's funny how this article pops up on this board every so often under different guises, yet it always descends into the same mess

Ozil
Maybe Sanchez
If Ramsey has a blinder this season then he can surely have the title of World Class, no?

Rooney was world-class. Not sure if he still has it.
As for Sanchez and Ozil it's just pure bitterness really. These guys are outright world-class.

Sanchez is comfortably better than Pedro. Let's not act like they're on the same level here.
When people say world-class they're looking at his ability. I can 100% guarantee if you had him you'd be calling him world class.

I would say 'World Class' players are those who have won the world cup. So on that basis every single English player is out.

Ramsey, Ozil, Sanchez, Koscielny

Potentially Szczesny, Ox, Wilshere, Chambers

Anyone that thinks Rooney is not world class WHILE listing Ozil and Alexis as world class is either a poor wum or an ignorant comedian.

Did say that one was better than the other?
When asked why Sanchez was world class in another article Arsenal fans started to list the number of games he played for Barca last season. All I'm doing is pointing out that Pedro had as many appearances, so number of appearances isn't proof of quality.
If he was a Liverpool player I wouldn't be claiming he was world class either. He is a very good footballer, but he's not a world class player. Would he get in a world XI? Definitely not. Would he get in a world squad of 25? Probably not? Is he one of the top 3/4 players on his position in the world? Arguably no.
