World class players

[ws01]

When all fit and firing we have four: Kompany, Silva, De Bruyne, and Aguero.

Couple that are close or on the cusp: Fernandinho, Gundogan

Potential: Stones, Iheaneacho, Sane, Jesus

There's one definition of World Class and that's it. XI best in the world in some kind of formation - a team that would take on an XI of aliens looking to inhabit the planet.

Tosh. It means among the best in the world. Eleven is a totally arbitrary figure that you have made up.

Cant disagree with this.

Sterling on his day would join top group.

Agree with the rest.

If that's the case we have an argument for 1 or 2 players, but also that team could quite easily contain no City players!

Indeed - but then, does our coach make us better than the sum of our parts? That's the difference between a world class player, a team made of world class players, and a world class team.

I would have argued for Kompany and Yaya a few years ago.

At the moment Aguero, and possibly KDB, if he continues his form and ratio of goals/assists.
