eph12:you see how differences in opinions dey cause kasala for here in this international break na but then look at Lampard, phenomenal for Chelsea, our highest goalscorer, can score from anywhere, makes a lot of assists, done a lot in the Champions League i don't need to remind you how many times Iniesta and Xavi have made top 3 for Balon d'or, obviously they are both the midfield of Barca, since they left Barca has been useless in the UCL i don't need to tell you about Paul Scholes, you know him ![]() i don't think KDB has done anything to be placed side by side with these icons, i can't even place Fabregas(and Fabregas was a freaking good player) but I believe KDB is fast growing into a world class midfielder again, this is just my opinion not a universal concept |

Afolabi6046: World class is a term that describes ability, not career. Scholes in his time was not better than Eriksen at Tottenham. He just happened to have a great career as part of a dominant team in the league. KDB is unfortunate to be playing in an era of top 6, unlike scholes who played most of his career in an era of top 2. |

nihilistjnr:is there any World Class player that didn't enjoy a great career. You must have won tangible amount of trophies before they can even notice your abilities. Why do you think Hazard haven't earned the right to be called World Class? 2 Likes |

Afolabi6046: Who says hazard hasn't won the right to be called world class? When you're voted as the 7th best player in the world, you are a World class player. Ability and Great Careers often intersect, but not necessarily. Harry Kane is currently one of the best strikers in the world and is definitely world class - he doesn't have a spoon to his name. Salah is another world class player with a mediocre career. in terms of ability, KDB is far better than Paul scholes ever was. 7 Likes |

nihilistjnr:Salah is no World Class player, no, NEVER! The Harry Kane matter is tough sha ![]() I won't call Hazard World Class yet, he has no World Cup, no UCL, no Euro to his name, though i would blame the teams he has played for sha I believe Scholes enjoyed a flourishing career, he has the most PL titles of any english man, he has 2 UCL, and he played actively not a carry along like Morata, dude was World Class, everybody knows that i noh get strength for argument las las ![]() 1 Like |

Afolabi6046: like I said, world class is a description of ability bot career. Salah is currently the 3rd best player in the world - you say he's not world class Scholes that never even managed to win Manyoo player of the year once in his 20 year career is the one that is world class? ![]() judging by Career, ediots like Benzema and Morata too will claim that they are worldclass, and that is not the case. You need to learn to delineate between ability and career. if you want to know who is world class, start by looking at their individual awards. 4 Likes |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Nobody: 5:45pm On Oct 18, 2018 |
nihilistjnr:Salah has never done anything near what he did last year in his whole career. He was pursued out of Chelsea, ordinary Chelsea, which World Class player dem dey pursue for club ![]() He has only played like a World Class player for a season, just ONE, na one season dey make World Class winger, you know since when Ronaldo, Messi have been relevant in football? I won't call Salah a World Class player o, you earn that title when you have showcased your talents for a while with trophies. na major trophies remain for Hazard, he has already shown us his abilities People like Neuer, Casillas, Messi, Drogba, Xavi, Ronaldo Delima, Henry all have trophies to their names 3 Likes |

nihilistjnr: Okay so Scholes was not world class? Is that what you are saying? |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by nihilistjnr: 6:00pm On Oct 18, 2018 |
Afolabi6046: Salah is number 3 in the world, he is world class. The year Ororo won WPOTY with manyoo, he scored 42 goals for the season, including 31 in the league. Last season Salah scored 44, including 32 in the league. Ororo had never done anything up until that season to suggest that he would be netting like that, and never came close to matching his exploits in his final season for Manyoo, but there is nobody that doubted that ororo was world class in the 2 seasons before he went to Madrid. If not for Karius and Sergo Ramos, Salah may have even been the reigning WPOTY. So your statement that Salah is not world class is false. Most players are world class for a few seasons before casting - Ronaldinho was probably only really worldclass for 2 seasons. Saying the guy voted 3rd best player in the world is not world class sounds....funny ![]() 4 Likes |

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by nihilistjnr: 6:04pm On Oct 18, 2018 |
Jemi7: Was scholes ever world class? ![]() If yes, show proof. Someone that never even won your own player of the year awards depite playing for 20 years in a scummy shirt. Why didnt you guys vote him manyoo player of the year at least once? ![]() |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Ibime(m): 6:06pm On Oct 18, 2018 |
iamJ: What else do you need in midfield. This is like saying Bill Gates is not a billionaire, all he has is 80 billion dollars. You and the guy who said if not for goals, Hazard is greater than Messi, I'm not sure which is worse. 17 Likes 1 Share |

nihilistjnr: Lmao, so who is world class? Gerrard? Lmao. Winning pfa shows you are world class? And Winning United player of the year proves you are World Class? Nihilist you dey troll. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by nihilistjnr: 6:22pm On Oct 18, 2018 |
Jemi7: How can you be world class and not be individually recognised for your contributions to your team? Scholes is one of those players whose reputation after retirment does not tally with his reputation during his playing career. How can you play for 20 years in the EPL, win 11 league titles, and only make PFA TOTY twice. Twice? ![]() Hazard has played for 6 years in EPL, and has made PFA TOTY 4 times, despite only winning 2 league titles. That's individual recognition for you. Scholes won 2 UCL and never made FIFPRO 11 ffs - that shows you that even his footballing peers didnt rate him all that highly during his career. It's only after Scholes retired that you will start hearing quotes from Zidane or Xavi. Why didnt they vote him into FIFPRO? ![]() Name any great midfielder you can think of from Scholes set, and show me the one that never made FIFPRO XI. Just one |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by nihilistjnr: 6:25pm On Oct 18, 2018 |
2 PFA TOTY appearances in 20 years ffs And there i was thinking JayZ wrote that line for Nas ![]() |

People that think fabregas isn't a world class player probably must have thought fabregas started playing football 2 seasons ago . |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by popizaino(m): 6:38pm On Oct 18, 2018 |
Afolabi6046:so going by your assertion on the bolded what makes fabregas not a world class player? |
