Do we have any players good enough for the top 4

To start for any of the top four? Possibly only Fellaini and Baines. If you include Arsenal then Jagielka and Howard too, but that isn't fair as they wouldn't start for the others.

Pretty much this, though to be fair even Hibbo would be in with a shout in getting a first team start if he was at Arsenal, their defence is embarrassing.
Not that Hibbo's embarrassing. I'd never say that about the one true God.
 

The Sky 4? Arsenal/Chels, Manchesters and RS/Spurs? I'm not certain if this years top 4 will be the traditional top prem 4.
Ars think Jags is good enough. City think Baines is good enough. Last year or two Arteta was considered good enough. Last year, SAF thought Rodwell is good enough. Next week, Spuds will be tapping up Barclay! Fellaini could fit straight into Chelseas team I reckon.
All opinions though.
 
Baines definitely, Saha would have been a top four all his career if he wasn't injured so much. Arteta is good enough for any of the top four and I reckon Timmy would get a game for most teams but scoring goals isn't good enough for some people on here.
 
Fellaini, Baines and in the future almost certainly Barkley. The rest, nope, and nowhere near. There's a few in our first team squad that are not good enough for Everton, nevermind the top four.
 
It could be argued that none are good enough for the top 4, or they would already be there.

also, Arteta, Cahill, Hibbo, Osman, and Yobo were all in our 2004 team that finished 4th.

Would any of the Sky 6 sign some of our players? probably. But look at Pienaar at Spurs, he's either injured or on the bench or both. He wanted CL football, but ended up only playing like 2 games in the competition regardless of opponent and score.

Scotch mist.
 
Howard would walk into Arsenal's goal but in terms of getting a starting place in all the teams. Baines and borderline Fellaini.
 

For the first time, I am concerned about other teams catching us up. That was the first goal that Stoke have conceded in 4 competitive games on Saturday and Pulis still hasn't spent the £14m burning a hole in his ass pocket. Wolves are looking in pretty decent shape and are rumoured to be interested in adding Bullard. Whilst West Brom and Fulham will undoubtedly pick up. I thought it was a bit of kidology from Moyes to lower expectations, but he could be right unless we get our act together more quickly than normal.
 
I think most of our players would be competitive squad players for the top 4, but very few would be starters.

Baines would arguably start for all of them, I think Fellaini would start at Man U or Chelsea, not sure about the rest. Arteta is good enough to start for United but he hasn't shown the requisite form consistently since the back end of 09/10.
 
Tim Howard, Phil Neville, Louis Saha have all played for United.

The following players would all breeze into a "top 4" team.

Arteta, Baines, Jagielka, Cahill, Fellaini, Rodwell, Barkley, Coleman.
