Sir Alex: Becks not world class
-
ALEX FERGUSON has hailed only six Manchester United players he regards as world class during his reign. The list from his 20 years in charge does NOT include David Beckham, with whom he had an acrimonious split.
Becks came runner-up in the competition for World Player of the Year during his time at United. But he did not get a mention in Fergie’s elite list — although the Old Trafford boss predicts Cristiano Ronaldo will become No 7.
Ferguson said: “I’ve been blessed with several world-class players.
“Peter Schmeichel was certainly one. “Ryan Giggs, for me, definitely. Eric Cantona could have been even better, but for the parts of him you had to control. “Wayne Rooney. That’s four — and I think Ronaldo is going to be. He’s playing in the hardest position, out wide, and never refuses to take the ball and attack players.
“He’s two-footed, he’s brave and, once his decision-making improves, he’ll be world-class without question. Then there’s Roy Keane. That’s five. “And there’s an argument for Paul Scholes, the cleverest midfield player we’ve ever had.
“To work with such people has been an absolute pleasure. “It’s fulfilled every aspiration that occurred to me when I joined the Scotland set-up and encountered the likes of Dalglish and Souness.” -

Giggs is definitely world class.
The jury is still out on Ronaldo and Rooney. -
i disagree.Originally posted by sand king:of course, the secret ingredient to be world class is.... To be in Man Utd!
man u dominated the premiership but won only once in europe during that period.
so man u are not even considered world class yet. -
of the big 4, maybe only Chelsea can be considered really world class at the momentOriginally posted by dragg:i disagree.

i have to disagree again.Originally posted by Marco_Simone:of the big 4, maybe only Chelsea can be considered really world class at the moment
chelsea won only 2 premiership titles and a few FA cup. they have yet to win a lot of other cups. -
Becks, nope, not World Class.
Stop his cross, freekicks nd corners and he's virtually out of the radar.
But i do admire his workrate. Always willing to track back and defend. Very unlike the current number 7 of United.
Cheers.

Haha only the reputation is worldclass lah that bugger.. Agreed with one of you that his crosses are world class.. Probably I have to reluctantly say that he is the best crosser of the ball I have ever seen.. RVN is not world class I guess.. But the number of goals is world class ahaha.. I don't know but Rooney is probably together with Ronaldo.. Should be pending world class..

Only Cantona is the rest not.
-
could someone toss a name into the hat that maybe all of us can agree, that yes, this guy is world class...
please leave club discrimination at the door.. -
I start, Ronaldinho..

Edgar Davids 4-5 years ago was the best central midfielder in the world.
