A good article, and puts a nice smile on your face!
I especially love the fact that Harry has scored more goals than the whole Middlesbrough team!

One of the best strikers of the ball I've ever seen in my life, but to say he's a better player than Benzema (for some reason, this is who the media is comparing him to) or World class , I don't think so !

Im sorry but the way he turns with the ball, retains possession, finds that inch of space needed to let fly... He is world class and there's no debate there. He is greedy and at times makes wrong choices but you don't get 29 league goals in the prem without being world class.

What exactly is your definition of world class then?

That's an exceptionally thoughtful and analytical article. Very different from the usual nonsense. The writer has thought hard about how footballers' brains work and how being a top striker is largely a mental phenomenon. Well done.

So let me get this right.
Dybala, the same age as Kane, playing in an easier league (slower) in a world class team, is world class after netting 10 and getting 7 assissts
but Kane who scored 29 and had the same number of assissts isn't.
Well OK then.
Is Eriksen world class?
Is Dele?
Is Son?
All of them have better stats than Dybala. But he did score that goal against Barca didn't he?:rolleyes:

They both played in the champions league this season, the one who is World Class is still in the competition, as for Serie A being easier,
where is your proof ?
Dele going to be world class.
Eriksen no !

So a player being world class DEPENDS ON him playing in a good enough TEAM? Or are you suggesting that Juve are in the final BECAUSE OF Dybala? In that case... well. I disagree.He was pretty much invisible in the second leg of the semi. When was Kane invisible?
Eriksen won't be world class. I disagree there too.
Dybala is not world class yet. He has the making of a world class player.
When he scores 18 goals as an AM, then we'll talk. Even Son scored more than him.
Juventus is probably the best organised team in Europe. Doesn't make every player in it world class.
