Pretty fair list. Allison would definitely be there. Best keeper around imo. Ederson is a bit too erratic for my liking.

Don’t think you can say Silva anymore unfortunately. Kante has had such a tough time of it the last two years I don’t know if he would fit in that bracket either.

Alisson and Ederson for sure. Laporte and probably Perreira as well. For me world class is roughly top 5 in their position in the world.

Robertson easily in top 5 LBs in the world

I had that list with Silva omitted originally, and then I thought I'd add him due to his years of quality at City. That's why he ended up on the end there. Probably past his best now I agree.

I would stick Robertson in there to be fair.

I did think about Robertson. Wasn't sure if he was still top class rather than world class. Don't think he's quite as good as TAA. Plus he is Scottish after all.

I'd add son to that list.

I love Son but I would say he falls just underneath the World Class bracket.

Son is not consistent enough to make that list.

posted on 20/7/20

Fair list. Son is very close, as is Pogba - but a bit too erratic in form as you say perhaps during his time at United.

Robbo is at the very least very close to it as well, there are few left backs better.

And Silva probably is past his world class years now, Bernardo is on his way to being world class imo.

I'm hoping Bruno joins the list

All depends on your definition of world class.

For me KDB and VVD and probably Mane are the only one's I would truly recognise as world class. Perhaps I'm being too harsh, and these players {certainly the first two} would fall be in the elite player catagory.

KDB, Salah, Van Dijk

I think world class is being used far too generously.

Depends what you view as being world class. I don't see how players like Kane and Aguero aren't if those ones you mentioned are.

If your definition of world class is ‘would start for every team in the world’ then that is probably only KDB surprisingly

That is harsh, considering you'd be leaving out players who have been consistently top quality for longer than those.

take sterling out and your on the money imo. controversial but guy should be posting double the numbers considering the chances he gets. 1 assist in the pl all year.

Name one team Van Dijk wouldn't be the best defender at.

Wouldn’t start for Real Madrid
