I'd hazard a guess i've watched a lot more football than you mate.
As for world class, it's a phrase that get's banded about far too easily and usually after someone has had a good to great season, if you think runnng at 100 miles an hour and hitting it as hard as you can makes world class than fair enough, in my view it doesn't.
He hasn't got the vision or technique to match any of the real great players that have been truely world class.
Would you really compare him to Ronaldo, Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Villa, Zidane, Figo, etc?
And these are just players from the modern era who have played in Spain.
i would hazard a guess you've watched loads more yes. i'm 25 and have a life
nope but he can do things with his pace and power many of those players could only dream of. plus i'm sure he's about to become the most expensive player in the world,and is rated by people who "i'd hazard a guess have watched way more football than you" ;)

What a ridiculous argument. If Bale was Spanish or Afriacan he would have picked up a world up or African player of the year also.inchy14 said:roy.or.r said:In that case,we don't have any world class players in our team..inchy14 said:I'd hazard a guess i've watched a lot more football than you mate.

We'll Silva and Navas have both won World cups and European championships so i could argue they are especially Silva, Yaya has won the champions league as well as African player of the year so there's a case for him too.
Let's put it another way, pick your best 11 in the world now, would Bale get in it?
