    By world class, I mean being able to get into more or less any team in world football. This is what I'd say

    Arsenal
    Van Persie
    Wislshere (maybe too soon)

    Chelsea
    Mata
    Drogba
    Cole

    Man City
    Silva
    Aguero
    Kompany

    Man United
    Rooney
    Vidic

    Probably some I've missed or who shouldnt be in the list..

    That's probably it.

    I'd maybe have Enrique in there because he is probably the best left back in the league right now. shifty

    Cole and Drogba probably not anymore.

    EPL kinda pales in comparison to Serie A and La Liga. Laughing

    Mata


    Man City
    Silva

    There is a lot of differing opinions on the definition of world class as I'm sure this thread will demonstrate. Conservatively speaking, I'd say you could add Modric onto that list.

    Forgot about Modric and Bale completely.

    Depends on your definition of world class. It could potentially mean something like if you were to select a squad of 23 from the entire world, or it could just mean top quality internationals or something.
