[Link] Adam Matthews - Liverpool

Correct! I would say world class is being one of the best players on the park for club and country

if people are saying world class means potentially world class, then thats wrong lol. world class = world class .. potentially world class = potentially world class.

Matthews has the potential to be world class ( possibly ) .. but i dont think it would be at celtic

 

No brainer this one; * off liverpool.

You build a team around guys like Matthews. Hope he's here for many years to come.

 

again, no one has said Matthews is world class. if read other posts, they've said he has the potential to be. just because he has played well against world class players doesn't instigate in any way or form that poster suggests that Matthews is currently world class.

 

Some good reply's there.

I may be biased towards Liverpool/Celtic, aren't we all? Thing is, I've always been a Glen Johnson fan. During his time at Portsmouth I wanted him here, because at the time we had a good full back in Arbeloa, but offensively he's not in the same league as Johnson. So no, it wasn't just his goal against Chelsea that formed the base of my opinion. Actually, I preferred the one against Bolton at the Reebok three seasons back. Again with that awesome weaker foot!

Oh, and someone mentioned Lucas. Now there is a * player for you. Liverpool's most important player.

Look, i hope Matthews goes on to become a better player than Glen Johnson. It certainly isn't beyond him. As i said before, the kid has amazing potential. All i'm saying is, he isn't in the same league as of now.

 

Big *'s exact words were that's he's a "world class talent", let's just leave it at that.

 

talent for me at least means something similar to prospect, if he wanted to say he was world class I think he would have just said world class. Obviously to get at what he really means you would have to ask him but i think Matthews is a world class prospect and is one of the two best young fullbacks in Britain and if he continues to develop he will be world class in the future.

 

i never said the goal against Chelsea that formed your deluded opinion of Johnson. he's only rated in England ffs.

my point with Lucas was he is mince one minute, then amazing the next. fickle fans.

the last paragraph i can agree with. Matthews still has a lot of work to do on his game but he will be a top player in the future. imo a much better player than Johnson.
