Right no messing are you ready let’s go what constitutes world class go uh I think it’s a a a player who has shown the being invaluable to his team and makes a massive difference yes trophies does play a part but there is players in this um this this lineup that

A world class who probably haven’t who haven’t won trophies and and and a player that a team would sadly miss that would out that player in that team they’re a totally different opposition and I think also when you see them play how much of a difference the team is right and how

Much they can depending on the position how they dictate the play how you know you can just you can see a world class player from a good average player okay uh Rio Ferdinand has comp pil the list of worldclass players 12 have made the list that’s what he’s saying there’s 12

World cast players playing in football today you ready we’ve got five of them at Manchester City Edison KY Walker rodri Kevin De bruyne and erling Harland uh two at Real Madrid in Bellingham and venicius Jr one’s over at Bayern Munich in Harry Kane Liverpool have got three

With Allison Virgil Van djk and muhammd Salah and then the man that’s his rumor to be well on his way to Real Madrid at the end of the season Killian mbappe makes up number 12 yes that’s right you recognize that he said no world class players at the Arsenal uh there’s no

World class players currently at Barcelona um what what do you make of his 12 first and foremost do you agree with his 12 has he missed anybody out I I don’t think he has I think it’s a a solid world class set of players um there’s some players who on the border

Line close don’t don’t sit on the fence who’s on the border line I would say probably Saka um I want say maybe odard um who else on my why you just name Arsenal players I’m just uh maybe CBA I think they’ve got a lot of potential world class players but I

Think that list for me personally I think that’s about right right you ready I’m I’m born I love this because the word world class gets bounded around far too often yeah I agree someone puts one in top bin someone dances around a couple he has he

Has a couple of back toback games where he gets man at match well class him world no he’s not he’s not world class world class had a great game as you’ve said is an instrumental player in a team of football that is that that makes the

Difference to the team you it can be in any position from goalkeeper right through to Striker they make a difference to that team when they are not there that team misses them yes there is going to be stresses on trophy wins because you’ve got to help your team become successful how they become

Successful they win trophies of course there’s going to be that element of it but there’s also going to be the element of how much do you contribute to your team to make your team team a better player when it hits the fan are you the

Type of player to step up are you a leader are you the type of player to leave from example do you change big games the big ones not the little ons not the little flat track bully games do you change the big ones do you do it on an international stage all these

Questions come in to fruition so I look at Rio ferdinand’s list of 12 and it puts a massive smile on my face it really does cuz I think to myself yes mate there’s not that many world class players don’t get me wrong there’s a lot of good players a lot of elite players

There’s greaters there’s a lot of great players a lot of international standard players we’re talking world class the best of the best the cream to the cream the ones right at the top Rio fer should know he was one of them once upon a time he was a world class player there’s no

Doubt about that so when he says that Manchester City have got five world class players I look at that list and I got Edison yeah I think he is a world class goalkeeper KY Walker that’s a consistency thing he has been consistently one of if not the best

Right back in the world for Five Seasons yeah maybe longer yeah rodri don’t think anybody’s doubting that now are they you take him out of that man City team they are not they’re not the same team y Kevin De bruyne come on absolute no Brer he turned himself into a world class

Player absolutely yep earling coland now this is the debate right is is Rio fer and being generous saying that he’s a world class player now there’ll be people out there going h on me what you talking about ear Holland scores 50 goals a season smashing him in for fun

Is he well I just put the breaks on it what constitutes that worldclass player my argument would be if you took ER isand out of man City’s team would they miss him as much as they would miss Kevin De bran would they miss him as much as they miss rodri would they miss

Him as much as they miss Edison would they miss him as much as they miss a k Walker I can make an argument for Holland not being a worldclass player great finisher puts the ball in the back of the net his movement off the ball to

Get into the positions to put the ball in the the back of the net very good he world class for me is he a world class footballer right then let me put this way right he’s world class CL let me ask you this question right go for it we are

Making a a world class starting 11 right there’s and we’re playing 433 yeah right so up front we’re going to play three Lads now on Rio ferdinand’s list the the the lads that can that can qualify playing in that front three right Killian mbappe yeah Muhammad Salah Harry Kane erling

Holland you could even put venicius junr in this as well if you’re going to play him on the left hand side as well so pick three I’m picking mbappe uh Holland Salah you’re picking Holland over Harry Kane yeah Harry Kane is a better footballer than ear in Holland maybe

When he what what dropping off and and spraying the ball about yes he’s a better finisher I think I think harand is you put him in any team he’s banging he’s he’s scoring goals he no he’s is doing it in Germany so does Holland and obviously haric Kane’s

Done it in the Premier League over many years so is Holland but I think he’s just with Holland he’s just a beast so can yeah I I know but I’ve seen is a better footballer than ering Holland as a footballer I see where you’re going from yeah like I said dropping but be

Able to assist and he’s better finish yeah better finisher than Holland yes Holland Holland were missing sitters a couple of weeks ago just one game you know Harry Kane missing them sitters listen Harry Kane’s missed some sitters Harry Kane’s Gone Gone In games and and

Not scored harand I would say he is you can’t you can’t you can’t have this argument I think if you have ch if you had this choice of har Kan or Holland in your team I’m you got to choose Holland it’s it’s tight don’t get me wrong you’re not there’s no there’s no

Lose lose both both players are absolutely fantastic but if I’ve got to choose one I’m choosing harand he a lot quicker he’s a lot more powerful he’s stronger as a number nine harand is the Pinnacle of a nine I disagree right here’s my other question right real Ferdinand says there’s no

Worldclass players at Arsenal at this moment in time yeah okay on his list Jude Bellingham is on that list yeah is Jud Bellingham world class yeah what’s the difference between Jud Bellingham and Bai Saka I would say that with Jude bellam changes a game Jude bellam that could change his games in

Big games in massive games yeah yeah yeah do you not see him go missing sometimes I think Bellingham you you you just no his presence every minute on that pitch he is such a a vital player he’s gone to if right wood Bellingham and Saka in who’s the more influential in England if

There’s playing for the national team over the over recent years no forget recent years like now what you mean what you mean forget years we’re just talking about now we’re talking about now so no no no world class is a consistent period of time yes a consistent period of time

So let’s say over the last three to four years the most consistent England performer has been Bai Saka he’s he has but he’s on the borderline I think Saka is a great player but Jude Bellingham he’s just he’s on a different planet he’s just a different different you’re

You’re going off it test now Jude Bellingham is on real fernand’s list of world class yeah most people would say we think he’s world class but why is bayas Saka not on that list because you seeing what Jude benam is doing well what’s Baya Saka doing yeah he’s he’s

Got great numbers he scores goals say but is he it’s not a trophy thing he I know is he as much as influential as bellam is in that Arsenal team yeah do you not think do you not think he’s as influential in the arsal Bingham would get in any single team in

In the world right this is a great Bellingham gets in any single team in the world can s do that could he get into Real Madrid could he get into Liverpool he’s not getting in over Salah you’re not putting sacka over Salah a there we go I think all

  1. if you pay attention to his movement, Halaand continues to make the same runs that lead to his goal tally last year.

    problem is Foden treats the ball like it’s his girlfriend and De Bruyne hasn’t been playing that much this season, and Silva loves a one-two pass.

    What else can Haaland do? he’s not a tippy-tapptet player.

    He should study what Giroud did in his time at Wenger’s Arsenal!

  2. ok this is probably one of the worst iv ever heard about what can be considered "world class" . Maybe you need to see where Erling played before Manchester City. Sometimes you need get off wherever you guys are standing to see the bigger picture. what a ridiculous take…Always need to include your homeboys. maybe you should ask Kane if he prefers and individual awards or a team awards, I'm sure hed say the latter.

  3. I choose Kane over Haaland if age isn’t a factor but I want him to play as striker not midfielder. Kane has never had the opportunity haaland has had. Kanes responsibility reaches past scoring goals. He is always the one that has to come back and sacrifice himself to make the passes. Maybe he likes it, but he’s proven consistent. Haaland is still definitely world class though and age wise he’s the more valuable. He’s going to get more being the goal machine that’s he’s trained to be.

  4. How you agreed with Ederson and Bernardo Silva being a world class players and then turned around and say Saka ain’t one because he can’t get into every team

  5. City couldn’t win UCL until Haaland came… why Psg couldn’t win UCL with Mbappe. Yet Mbappe is a world class but Haaland isn’t

  6. Not a clinical finisher at all, robotic stiff player. Never scored a solo in his life! Just the way he walks and moves he’s not a footballer! Most of the time you don’t even know he’s on the pitch.

  7. How many trebles and champions leagues did city have before haaland? End of debate, you dont win trebles and break all the records because you are good

  8. Declan Rice is world class. By literally all of the criteria you've mentioned in the vid.

  9. I think that’s a rubbish description of world class – I couldn’t help thinking however that using this description, Saka is world class.

  10. His list was right other than Courtois and Kimmich should be in there. Obviously Kimmich is having a shocker with tuchel this season and Courtois injured for all of it, but both of them would normally be on that list.

  11. of course hes world class baldy is city didnt got him theyve wouldnt have won the treble lol

  12. He's scored in a Champions league match . And he's still not World class? This guy had too much of a drink or two 😂😂
