Please explain how going from Atleti (champions of a better league than the PL and in the CL Final) to the 3rd best team in England is a step up?

Terry world class

City - 5 (Aguero, Yaya, Kompany)

Arsenal - 4 (Ozil, Koscielny)

United - 3 (Rooney) when he wants to be

Chelsea - 1 (Hazard, Cech)

Liverpool - 1 (Suarez)

Spurs - 1 (Lloris)

Let's be honest, Atletico is the 3rd best side in Spain and Chelsea the 2nd best in England

how come Koscileny can be labelled worl class but not Terry then

and Hazard, Cech and Cole i'd count as world class

Based on......?

Another pathetic article.

Rooney world class .

the Gooners will be telling us Sczenezy's world class next

how come Koscileny can be labelled worl class but not Terry then

-------------

as he is world class and terry aint

Koscielney is good, not world class

well Terry's been performing at the top much longer than Kos, and actually wins silerware too!

Suarez is world class
Van Persie is world class
Aguero - world class
Silva - world class
Toure - world class
Kompany - world class

The rest are bordering on the verge of becoming world class or are just borderline world class ie not quite there.

Those 5 would go into any of the top teams in the world.

and Hazard, Cech and Cole i'd count as world class
------------------
Is that the same Cole that hasn't been offered a new deal despite his current one expiring imminently? Obviously the entire Chelsea setup disagrees with you...

6*

At the end of the day, Szczesny was joint "golden glove" winner with Cech for 2013/14.
Analyse that.

"Based on......?"

Barca and Real Madrid being 1st and 2nd best sides in Spain and Chelsea being better than everyone in England barring City.

It's not complicated

League tables aren't a perfect reflection of quality. It's only 38 games and lots of factors from flukey results, injuries, and shiiitee ref's decisions can knock teams a couple of places up and down the table.

Koscielny has won more than Terry recently*


*Past 1 year, for my convenience.

One great but injury plagued season and Ramsey is world class
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Most people consider Diego Costa as a world class striker. Who was he before this season?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't consider him yet and besides at least he had a full season.

Not sure beating Hull in the final of the FA Cup grants world class status

Does anyone outside Arsenal cuckoo land actually rate Koscileny? He is probably marginally better than Skrtel and I don't rate Skrtel that much.

How have Arsenal always got a team full of world class players. Leave some for the rest of us ffs.

So you judge how good a team is on one off games?

Based on what observations/statistics are Barca or Real better, currently, than Atleti?

Atleti won their head to heads with both of them this season, knocked Barca out of the Champions League....


I really don't know what else you could be going on other than cost of squad and size of club/past success?

i rate Koscielny, just don't think he's Thiago Sulva and Franco Baresi rolled into one as plenty of the Gooners seem to have convinced themselves

Mata, Mr C?

Koscileny is a good player but can be too rash and overcommit.

he's a quality centreback but not in the top tier
