I seriously think that if handled well, he will become one of the best players. For Moyes to splash the money out he did, he also definitely thinks so

He doesn't have enough about him to be anywhere near the best player in the world, lets be honest.

He can be a good player though and good on him for winning the award. Hopefully it gives him more confidence.

Hes 21 and you can see his class already, when he adapts to the English game fully and learns how to tackle, hes going to be different class.

ToxtethBlue · January 7, 2009

I can see he's a good player, no doubt about that. Different class? Not a chance. He simply doesn't have enough to his game.

I think he get's better with every game

We havnt seen a palyer like Mofro at Goodison or in the Prem in years, he is diistinct and as he gets more expeirence, confidence etc i have no douhbt he will be one of the best in Europe.

Its how you define world class, does he have the ability to be as good as Messi, Ronaldo, etc, no?

But were Keane, Viera world class for me yes. i watched both at close quaters in their youth and certainly MoFro is as good as they were if not better at the same age.

We forget how young he is he should be judged on the same level as big Vic etc. Thpugh its wrong to compare as i beleive he is uniuqe as were Viera and Keane in comparison with each other.

He can be anything he wants really.

Vieira was one of the most complete players of his generation, one of the best midfielders in Europe. He's on a different level to Fellaini on every level bar aerial ability.

YouTube - Arsene's XI - Patrick Vieira

You just have to watch this video, he is simply different class. Drive, strength, skill, tackling ability, agression etc. He had the lot.

Fellaini is a good player but you have to be realistic. He lacks pace, he isn't a world class footballer and bar aerial ability you'd struggle to find an area in his game that is excellent. Yes he's different and he'd be a useful asset to most teams but that doesn't make him world class.
