The World Class Thread

Puyol

You can't include him and not include Terry, Ferdinand and Vidic

All had their time, Puyol included

Even Pique I would question

I still remember his natural defensive ability

Its just the Barcelona and Spains high pressing up the midfield means he is rarely tested

I am still not and have never been fully convinced of him

[Mame Biram Diouf]

Name me three players better than Pedro in wide positions?

Ribery

Ribery is a fraud

The 40mill quotes for him few years ago were shambolic

He cant win a game on his own

How often do we see him go into top gear?

Its Robben will be at times, switch it on and just destroy a team if he is in the mood, Ribery I strongly disagree

who rates alexis sanchez though i think he's up there. even if he moves from barca he will score GOALS

ronaldolite

Wait, is he t®olling?

hes unlucky he came for a big fee and straight to barcelona. if he was at man utd or whatever he would get 20 goals 20 assists

[Heero Yuy]

I rate Robben over pedro by the way. Robben at his peak was undisputed WC now thats the level pedro needs to get too. You just said it yourself, Robben still can single handedly win a game if he feels like it. Can liferally drag the team over the finish line.

Rafael Van Der Vaart

For me YES

Big game player, goals, assists, link up play, passing

Just general performances

Love watching him play

Deffo world class for me

[The Infamous]

nah pedro is better cos he can go on the outside or on the inside and do a lot

robben became predictable at a stage between psv and chelsea he was lethal and still is excellent winger though

Pedro needs the rest of the team to show up to perform well. Pedro alone isn't that sort of player, he's a icing on the cake, he's the finish, he can't be that sort engine player that makes things happen. Like i said Robben can drag a team when he wants. Not to mention how ridiculous Robben's tek is

[Mame Biram Diouf]

On paper, both players at their peak ability

I would take Robben

But going by last 5 seasons, and average performance, I would choose Pedro

Its just ive always been a Robben fan and the style of play he has so maybe I am bias in some aspects

Not denying Pedro has had many game changing goals/performances

And its not his fault he is surrounded by Messi/Villa/Iniesta/Xavi/Alves

But Robben is the better player for me

Never again in your life mention Puyol in the same sentence of the likes Terry/Vidic

[O Fenomeno]

Pedro can't be WC but VDV is

[O Fenomeno]

Nani still better than Robben?

Low taking the looking down role

I post when I want

Tbh this started out as a sensible discussion I wanted to get involved in but when I saw man say Pedro isn't world class I took the look down and laugh option instead

edit

no need to comeback with a paragraph about the importance of discussions and exchanging opinions and if everyone took the route I'm taking the forum would be dead etc.

weird dude

anyway...

[Mame Biram Diouf]

Pedro can't be WC but VDV is

I know English is not your first language but...

Pedro not world class?

Wasn't that difficult to read

[O Fenomeno]

Did I direct at you?

Did I say how can Bane think?

You say English isn't my first language?

I know for a fact English isn't spoken in your household

[Mame Biram Diouf]

But only I said VDV is world class so far

[O Fenomeno]

The fact nobody disputed it but were up in arms over Pedro

Let's leave it at that

I don't want this room to turn into the other rooms on here

Full of Back and forths with the likes of Chaps/Profits/Local etc etc

[Mame Biram Diouf]

Nah thats fair enough

But I made my VDV comment at off-peak times circa 11pm

Pedro was mid-day, everyone had a chance to see it and comment

We will see who else agrees/disagrees 2moro

But I would be surprised if many disagreed

Guy is class

[The Infamous]

i posd you on VDV tbh

always thought he was excellent

Bruv when I see people like you say bullshit like this

Look at his teams

He is starter for Barca

What's that's got to do with anything, if your WC then you start when the strongest team is picked alie.

It makes me think does this guy realise that Pedro started every CL game this season, the last clasico and Spain's last 2 world cup qualifiers(scored a hat-trick in 1 of them)?

Games where both Barca and Spain would pick their strongest team alie

Then I say to myself "nah, he probably doesn't have clue"

So instead of mentioning it only to hear some bullshit reply about how it doesn't matter and he's still not world class I try to just leave it sometimes
