Which players from Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool would you say are actually world class?

Why did you include Liverpool and not Newcastle? Top 5 innit.

balotelli is nowhere near world class imo.

Bale too. Just because one good game vs inter doesn't make him world class.

I'd add Collocini to the list.

modric definitely isn't world class either, probably wouldn't get in spains squad. cant shoot, cant defend.

Collocini doesn't play for one of the requested teams :-)

Cashley, Scholes, Toure, Silva, Hart

Really high standards for world class. +1 on bale being overrated as is Vidic imo

You could argue a case for a player to make a world 25 squad.

just about none of them then.

I reckon I'd construct a genuine 25 man world squad without needing a Premier League player

Kyle Walker I would happily add to that list. Even at my most partisan, I wouldn't add any other spurs players.

Surprised Scholes has been mentioned twice, i mean really ? Lets not get carried away.

Vidic was world class, but spent most of last season on the sidelines,

+1 to Bale, Modric being over-rated, as with Balotelli.

Rooney just simply isn't world class, same as Gerrard even though I love him.

Xavi and Iniesta both rave about how good Scholes is and I agree.

If the question was 1 player only it would be Ashley Cole ainec!

Scholes is 37

What he once was, he isn't currently

Xavi and Iniesta's comments were several years ago, iirc.

He was injured.

That is true but everytime I watched him play In the Premiership last season he completely bossed It and when he came on as a sub he turned games around. Just as good as  Pirlo for Italy, in my eyes Scholes is still world class!

25 world squad - Cole, Hart as 3rd keeper.  Kompany, Toure, Aguero, Silva just missing out.

Thats not a very strong argument, Xavi is the same.

I agree with you about Modric not being world class.
