Very correctly said. Neither of them are world class players, both are one trick ponies. Take away their pace and they'll become quite average.

Isn't Walcott still the second most effective player in europe only to messi?... He is hardly average. Peoples definition of average is ridiculous.

Does he have the resume of some of the other world class players out there? Maybe not, but he is doing extremely well right now and is performing at a world class level.
As for Theo, I don't know if I've ever heard more than 1 person here or there call him world class, and this is a guy who has had better stats than Bale in every season before this one (which is competitive between the two).
This
In addition Walcott tends to make contributions against the big teams, in the last 4 years he has scored or made contributions against almost all the top four and milan, and barcelona but even i would agree that it would be inappropriate to call him world class .
Bale is an excellent player and is certainly a better player than Walcott but he is not world class . He needs to play at this level for the next 3 years to be considered world class

I like arsenal a lot and i see Walcott as a good player... just like Giroud and Podolski. Same category. They all have certain things they're good at, but also have significant weaknesses.

I'm almost certain there was a point you were trying to make here. Too bad it got lost in a tsunami of utter retardednessForza Rossoneri wrote:The eyes on Pirlo's shoes have more vision than Walcott.Lex wrote:Vision? Has racked up quite a few assists

Re: The term 'world class'
So your definition is based off of merit throughout an entire career then? Because RvP for example is certainly better right now than a few of the world class guys you listed.DeviAngel wrote:World Class for me : Iniesta,Messi,Ronaldo,Pirlo, Buffon,Xavi,Totti, Del Piero, Gerrard, Lampard....
Potential to be world class or close to it : RvP, Vidal, Ozil, Yaya Toure,Marchisio,Falcao,Lamela, Jovetic, Bale, Suarez, ... and so on

No one has ever called Theo WC. Not even the media. they used to hate Theo till this season.
Also he will forever be underrated. 19 goals 14 assists and yet one dimensional and brainless

Re: The term 'world class'
Players like Falcao, RVP etc are WC imo.
Both are consistent and are 2 of the best strikers in the World.
