I think we would have had a better idea if he played for the U21s ;) Seriously though, he looks a great player with huge potential. I just hope he doesn't develop an arsehole mentality...
 
To be 'world class' you clearly have be one of the very best in the world in your position, at the moment there are only a handfull who play in the PL; Vidic, Evra, ACole, Silva + Rooney.
Over the last few years, players who were at that level for a season or more I'd say are, Giggs, Scholes, Rio, Ronaldo, Gerrard, Torres, Essien, Cech, Drogba, Carvalho.
Those who may get there over the next year or 2 are; Bale, Rafael, Suarez, Balotelli
...and a few who are on the fringes; Hernandez (could be in the category above), Fabregas, Van Persie + Barry



...Sorry I just had to add Barry for a :emoticon-0102-bigsm
