    Isn't any more? You obviously haven't been watching this season, as he has been world class, and saved us many many many times.

    So yeah, I am getting you very wrong, you're a ****ing idiot, piss off.

    Making friends as always I see.

    He was a great, world class goalkeeper and is still a very good one but if there are a few players clearly superior in his position, can he be described as world class? If you were building the best possible 23 man squad in the world, would he make it? Not for me.

    He's not even been the best in the league.

    Not even in the top 3.

    Take those red specs off, there's a good lad.

    Yes, he would make it for me, thanks.

    You just hate Arsenal, so it doesnt surprise me he would not be in your team. Your first criteria is, make sure they don't play for Arsenal, then they can be considered.

    And guess what? You can **** off as well, :D.

    What's going on all of a sudden with all these outside heathens coming to this board.

    How idiotic are you? I listed like 10 players(there's plenty more) and you have admitted 5 of them improved once they left Madrid. Kinda makes your argument invalid right?

    I liked the part where he said only these players have gone onto become better and went on to list 5, lol.

    And it's even more than 5, Sanchez at the moment is a much better player than he was at Barca, you can see that when he plays internationally now, his level has gone so much more up since he left Barca, like many of the other players who have left them, he's been freed in a way to play his football and reach his potential.

    A big LOL to Ozil and Alonso not being world class when they left Madrid. Haha!

    Did this idiot fail to see the reactions of Madrid fans when they let both these players go? ****s sake, even Ronaldo came out and said what the **** is going on in selling Ozil?

    My argument is that none of those players left while they were at Madrid/Barca and that only half of them have improved since.

    What is idiotic about that? <doh>

    Or did u mean none of them left while they were world class?

    If you don't think Ozil-Alonso are world class, well then, yeah.

    I know it's difficult for you but try not to cry when someone says that an Arsenal player isn't all that.

    <ok> There's a good lad.

    You're right about Alonso though.

    I don't think Ozil has ever been world class. Alonso probably wasn't world class at Real but he was exceptional when paired with Gerrard.

    That wasn't actually your argument. You said 'Real/Barca don't let World Class players go'. Then just admitted 5 from a possible 10 players I listed were World Class. Thus disproving your position. You need a lesson in critical thinking.

    Ozil is clearly World Class. He's a World Cup Winner, Champions League Winner, La Liga Winner. Plays the no.10 role for Germany ahead of the likes of Goetze, Gundogan and Draxler. The British media may be out to get him but 18 assist 8 goals (90% pass accuracy) this Season all while playing with that big donkey Olivier Giroud. Imagine how many assists this guy would have had we played with Ibra or Suarez up front this Season.

    Sanchez also World Class.

    Real and Barca don't let world class players go.

    They've let players go that have gone on to become world class, absolutely. But they've never let a player go that is, at that time, world class. That is my argument and I stand by it.

    For me, world class is playing at a seriously high standard and having the ability to maintain it over a season. It'll always be down to opinion which makes this argument pretty pointless.

    Ozil has flashes of brilliance. But he's nowhere near consistent enough to be considered world class. He's a lot closer than Sanchez, i'll grant you that.

    Not really, a helluva a lot of our players are not world class, if you asked me to name who I think are? Cech, Sanchez, and Ozil, that's about it, Cazorla is a smidgen away.

    You are clearly wrong though.

    Ibrahimovic - Not only is he world Class he has scored 201 goals in 257 games since leaving Barcelona. He scored MORE goals and got more assist after leaving Barcelona.
    Yaya Toure - Won the Premierleague twice. Played the best football of his career after leaving Barcelona.
    Luis Figo - Won the Champions League twice and SIX league titles after leaving Barcelona.
    Wesley Sneidjer - Again the best football of his career was played after he left Real. Winning the league and the Champions League under Mourinho at Inter.

    I could go on... but four examples is enough to prove my point.

    These are examples of players Real/Barca have let go. ALL World Class. Before and after they were let go.
