World class City players

[lunebleu]

I'm sure this topic has cropped up before but,hey it's a monday night and i've nowt else to do. It was prompted by a chat i was having with a Rag mate of mine who stated that Carlos tevez was the only world class player we've ever had. This got me thinking -------we've had a lot of crap,good,really good and excellent players over the years, but how many could you truly describe as truly 'World Class'.
So this is my list.
Bert Trautmann
Denis Law
Colin Bell
Trevor Francis
Carlos Tevez
David Silva

Other possibles
Kazio deyna
Kinky
Dave Watson.

Any thoughts? Any obvous i've forgotten?
No doubt Someone will suggest Lee Bradbury and the like [tee hee] yawn!

Tevez, De Jong, Silva, Yaya and Kompany

 

[ConnorD110]

IMO , vinny has the potential to be one of the greatest defenders ever

We have no world class players. Tevez is borderline and on current form is. But generally we have none.

silly comment, world class isnt the best 1 or 2 players in every postion, world class is possibly the best 5-10 players in each postion, hence i would say tevez, silva, kompany, dejong, dzeko, kolarov, hart are all world class as i wouldnt say there are more than 9 better players than them in their postions.

I never understand discussions about 'world class' players because there is no definition. To some it's the very few players who'd get into a world first eleven/squad. For others, it's the top few in each position, or even 5-10 as you mentioned. Others leave out players "found out" at international level, but then that's arguably a lower standard than the Premiership.

It's enough to make my head spin :s
