Most of them are no-brainers but, as much as I like Fletcher as a player, he'll never be 'world class' in the same sense as guys like Luiz and Bale.

**Cocaine&Caviar** · 20-03-2011 08:38 PM

McCeachran of Chelsea has looked quality.

**Pretty Boy** · 20-03-2011 08:42 PM

Aaron Ramsey.

If he comes back well from his injury and continues to develop he has the potential to go to the very top.

Chris Smalling at Man Utd has all the attributes to be a top defender although world class may be stretching it.

**MWHIBBIES** · 20-03-2011 08:48 PM

From the prem-Wilshere,Luiz,Bale,Ramsey,Szczesny and Hernandez
Also others like Merkel(milan)Ganso(santos)Pastore(palermo)and Thiago(barca)have all looked class when i have watched them play.

Seen a bit of smalling in the last few weeks and he looks very good. Very cool and collected.

Luiz looks great and Hernandez shows that fergie still has an eye for a player.

Not necessarily world class, but McCarthy at Wigan has looked better and better recently. Sturridge had been doing well at Bolton too.
Bale is already a class act

And as above, our own booth could hold his own in the epl in a few years time. Hopefully about 4 years time tho

**leither17** · 21-03-2011 01:09 AM

I think luis suarez has looked a quality player and has made the step up too british style of football from the dutch league that other good players such as kezman and de graff

couldn't do

**~~Dunbar Hibee~~** · 21-03-2011 02:13 AM

Demba Ba.

Merkel has bags of potential but needs regular games to develop. He should have played more often for Milan this season but Allegri is sticking with the old guard. I hope next season sees a change in attitude in that respect.

Also from Serie A:

Sanchez (Udinese)
Cavani (Napoli)

and from the Spanish league:

Aguero (Atl. Madrid)

On what basis have you formed that opinion?

***Danderhall Hibs*** · 21-03-2011 11:27 AM

John Fleck? I'm sure I read it in the papers that he was "the Scottish Wayne Rooney".

***HibbyAndy*** · 21-03-2011 11:35 AM

Jack Wilshire.

A quite simply outstanding Midfielder with the heart of a lion and has energy in abundance, Strong in the tackle and never looked out of place in midfield against Xavi and Iniesta a few weeks back.

World class at 18 years of age.

Naw....he isnae.

If anything the game against Barca showed he wasn't as good as the best in the world, surely.

1st leg at the Emirates he was mixing it with the big boys and never looked out of place.

Might be a tad early to call him world class right now but he will be in the near future for sure.

Hopefully if he does progress as a player then he learns to be less of a little spoilt brat/little ****/jumped up wee fanny.

Already, at 19, he's oozing with that 'oh we're so superior cos we play football the right way and you're all jealous and we're brilliant and you can't tackle us hard cos that's no fair' attitude.

Opinions eh...

Rodwell is a better player in my opinion, if Wilshere was at Everton and Rodwell was at Arsenal there wouldnt be nearly as big a deal being made out of Wilshere.

Dont see that at all to be honest. Both are talents however Wilshere is at a different level and played very well in the first game v Barca however like Arsenal was outplayed in the second game however no shame in that given the opposition.

Wilshere could play international football now, couldnt say the same about Rodwell IMO.

**BryanV** · 21-03-2011 01:23 PM

If Rodwell was at Arsenal, he would have featured even less than he has at Everton.

Don't think so as he has more ability in his left foot than Diaby and Denilson. Wilshere is a better player at the moment but rodwell is going to be world class in a few years.

Neither of the two Arsenal players you mention are regulars. Rodwell has been in and out of an underperforming Everton side despite the fact they have frequently been without first choice midfielders.

***Johnny_Leith*** · 21-03-2011 02:51 PM

Adel Taarabt should be playing EPL next season and has the potiential to be a very good player.

Connor Wickham is another Championship player who promises to develop well but I think he'd be best off staying at Ipswich for the next 3-4 years.

Charlie Adam anybody?

Wouldn't disagree with that, only to say that in fairness Rodwell has been injured a bit this season. He'd be pushing at Arsenal, but no more than Ramsey etc

Whilst I agree with the comments that Wilshere should cut he attitude, I'm a fully fledged member of the fanclub - the boy is class & his touch & awareness/passing for a 19yo is awesome

Mentions for Ramsey, Szecseny, Tomkins, McEachran, Sturridge, Smailling, Hernandez, Hamsik/Cavani (Napoli), De Gea (Ath Madrid), Dos Santos, Rafa & Thiago Alcantara (Barca B - peps comment about Wilshere were related to them)

Everton are 8th in the league. Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City, Spurs, Liverpool, Bolton, Everton. And are there having had to deal with the loss of Pienaar in January and being without, due to injuries, some of their most important players for decent spells this season(Saha, Arteta, Cahill, Fellaini).

I'm not an Everton fan (I don't have an English team

) at all but they're not doing that badly....where would you exactly expect them to be in the table?

***SRHibs*** · 21-03-2011 03:04 PM

Ozil and Muller both looked like they were going to be top class after the world cup. Not sure how they're doing now though.

**frazeHFC** · 21-03-2011 03:23 PM

Along with the obvious; Bale, Wilshere, Ramsey, Sturridge, McEachran etc, i think James McCarthy will turn into a world class player.

Tom Cairney of Hull is amazing, i really hope he chooses Scotland over England.
