[Albion] Solly March, local lad and Premier League star, is f***ing brilliant

[Cotton Socks]

So gutted for Solly (and us) if we're not going to see him for the rest of the season.

Some decent saves, for sure. But "world class" ? Thats setting a pretty low bar isn't it.

Like I say, people throw the world class thing around far too much, IMO. A year or so ago loads on here were saying Bissouma was world class and our best midfielder of all time. We need to calm down a bit sometimes.

Didn't realise Bissouma was a goalkeeper ?

World class are your Messi`s, Ronaldo, Haaland , De Bruyne etc.
Top of the pops.

Albion have no world class players.

Um, a World Cup winner not "world class" ?

No. There are literally hundreds of mediocre players with World Cup winner’s medals who were fortunate enough to be the same nationality and generationas 2-3 world-class players.

The entire Argentina ‘86 sqhad bar Maradona, for example.

Mediocre?

Yep. Most of that Argentina team were bang average, all being carried by 1 genius.

I think you can add Daniel Passarella as the 2nd world class player.

Maybe Burruchaga as well. But the rest of them were meh. It was DM who dragged them to another level.

Apparently Roger Hunt was pony , just a goal every second game for Liverpool (244) and England (18)

Has there been any official news on Solly’s injury? It looked like his hamstring but am really hoping it was something less serious

Nobby Stiles was just a make weight

The definition is much more subjective than that. IMO World Class is a player that would get in almost all international teams so would include the likes of a much wider group. Caceido is 100% world class and I think Mitoma has the potential to become it.

Was hoping that it's a lot better news than we all are thinking.

Could someone point me in the direction of the Solly March thread, ta!

Absolutely not.
Argentina`s only "World Class" player is Messi.

RDZ's now turned Solly into a striker, who would've thought

Greatest transformation since McGhee, er, transformed Adam Virgo into a striker

Any chance we can flog Solly to Chelsea? £130m should just about cover it
