KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum PSG planning offer for Suarez

I agree and there are actualy people on here touting him as a world class forward, mind boggling, to put a player on that pedastal with no end product or not enough of one anyway. I think Suarez may be better used as a wide midfielder as he can definately beat a player and on his day is very tricky and brings people into the game well, maybe replace Kuyt on the right side of midfield leaving Bellamy up front instead, just a thought [/quote]

Mate not us that put him on that pedestal. He got himself there. Did you see what he did in the Copa America? Player of the tornament he was. Not Messi or Robinho or Neymar or whatever his name is. It was Suarez. Don't think there were many of us here eligible to vote him in for that award. So in our version of the European Championships he was their best player in their tournament. If that isn't world class then it don't exist and only a complete imbecile can ignore that FACT.[/quote] six league goals in twenty games this season is that good enough ?[/quote]

FACT is he is world class. Not talking about his scoring record this season. He is worth in today's market well over £30m. [/quote]




So Berbatov is world class too then is he...

Of course. I remember him being player of the tornament last World Cup and European championships playing for BULGARIA. But 10/10 for sarcasm mate.

Look all I am saying is there have been plenty of players costing alot of money who are not world class and there will be plenty more, I just dont think Suarez has achieved enough in his career at the very top level to warrant the World Class tag thats all. I would just like to add, there are hardly any true world class players in todays game that do, some are very close, some have the potential to maybe reach that level but true world class am afraid there is hardly any who have reached the standard of some from a few years ago.

Shall we settle for continent class

North Pole Continent Class?

Just feel the World Class tag is bandied around far too easily these days, seems like any player who plays half a dozen good games is suddenly world class and it insults past world class greats by putting inferior players on the same level.

I agree with you there to some extent and this happens especially in the premier league thanks to the over hyping of the media.

it happens with anyone who is half decent who signs for liverpool , liverpool have had some very very top players in recent years the likes of alonso and hyypia real top players but even though i love these players and they were top players not quite world class , i would say only gerrard , reina and torres (in torres's case only for a bit) were the only recent world class players liverpool have had in recent years .

I'm inclined to agree there, Faz.

But it's hard earning a reputation of being world class in a team that doesn't perform.

Or the other way around: If the team performs it gets far more easy to display world class players!

Yes and for that reason players have to move to Clubs which will provide them with the platform to be World Class. The unfortunate thing for us is we are no longer a Club which can provide a platform so our best players will never reach that level. I will give you an example Wayne Rooney as good as he was at Everton would never of reached the required level if he had stayed at Everton as they would never of been able to provide the platform his undoubted skills deserved, he needed to move to become what he is is today, same with Zidane at Marseille or Figo in Porugal and unfortnately Gerrard and Shearer made poor career moves which robbed them of being labeled true world class.
