Best Player Moyes has ever signed?

[chicoazul]

Alright Fellas new to the forum.

On the basis of the 12 years I have been watching the Blues going to have to go with Martyn, Arteta and Cahill in that order.

Welcome mate.

I would say arteta best user of the ball we have had in agers

 

[Azzurri]

Baines > Fellaini

Arteta and Pienaar left at similar times and we missed Pienaar a lot more than Arteta which I wouldn't have thought prior to it happening.

Baines is world class, no?

Going forward yes, defensively I would say no. So over-all, not world class.

I do adore him though.

Also, he is 28 now, and at his peak. Fellaini is 4 years younger, and has been dominating top teams seince the moment he arrived. I would say that in 10 years time, Fellaini will be held in high regard as been a top draw World Class player.

Baines is one of the world's top 5 left backs without a doubt. How can he not be world class?

 

[chicoazul]

Baines is the best left back Ive ever seen play for Everton and I usually swerve definite statements like that but he's simply out there. Different class.

 

[thebluefox]

baines is the best left back in the leauge right now ,

Baines

I would not swap for literally any other left back in the world

As good as Fellaini and Pienaar are and the likes of Cahill, Arteta, Martyn, Jags, etc have been, I don't think I could make the same statement about any of them in terms of not wanting to swap them for any other player in their position in the world.

I'd consider swapping him for Marcelo plus 20 million

I'm hearing you Azzman

It's not a phrase you want to throw around too much, but its hard to explain why he wouldn't be classed as it

World class for me is really only a select few players though (your Zidanes etc), I wouldn't necessarily say there were 5 world class left backs in the world right now for example. I used to think "would Real Madrid sign him" if yes, he's probably world class then, but it doesn't really work like that does it

The fact he's Enlgish and plays for Everton are 2 reasons why anyone outside of Everton will never think he's world class, although we all know he is pretty much

Leightony van der Baino is defo world class though

This is why I hate the phrase 'World Class' because everyone who uses it means something different.
