He has 1 20+ goal season and no trophies (im not saying goals is all you need but thats like the only thing he contributes contribution. and he and the only thing hes above average at is shooting (dribbling isnt great and lost a lot of pace). Like how are people comparing him to the likes of salah who has 4 20+ goals. And all the people that say oh if he was at (Better team than tottenham hed do better) even thouh its been proven multiple times if u play move to a better team youre not necessarily going to be better i could take charlie austin who scored 18 goals for qpr in 2014-15 and say oh if he played for chelsea hed get 30 goals which is obviously not true.and then people who say racism even though i think it positively impaced his career because hes the first of his kind to score those numbers so his achievments are a bit elevated .

Reminder this is an opinion dont get mad

    So by your logic, Harry Kane isn’t world class because he doesn’t have trophies yet either?

    Son probably would have scored more goals in Klopp’s system but he’s goal ratio for his position is still incredible. Not to mention he scores tons of bangers.

    I can’t tell if you’re dumb or a troll

    I haven’t heard anyone call Son World Class. He’s a very good player, but I wouldn’t put him in the top 1% of all attackers/wingers.

        1% is the wrong calculation, you’re right. World Class is a subjective term. For ***** and giggles, let’s assume that each position has five openings. He wouldn’t make my list either as an inverted winger or an attacker. Just my opinion.

    I’d take him any day over any current Man Utd players. All a level lower than him.

    Just delete this, you’re an idiot. Son has been the best player in the league aside from KDB for years. Stats don’t tell the whole story.

        You’re just coming up with random names of big players bud. Son would be on any team in the EPL. Absolutely. I am an LFC fan, and Salah has crazy goal numbers, but Son is a better player on technical values. If the only metric that you go by is statistics, then there’s no point in you watching games to begin with. Tell me one team in world football that Son doesn’t get into.

        Bro said Pogba and Sterling like we weren’t going to notice lmao.

        Haaland has been in the league for 1.33 seasons.

    I’m not really one for weighing in on the disgustingly subjective ‘world class’ conversations, but I noticed you said a single 20+ goal season and I think it’s probably doing him a disservice by ignoring general goal contributions.

    He’s had 6 consecutive seasons of 20+ G/A and is already on 16 this season.

    He is the captain of his national team who consistently make it out of group stage at WC. This by default means you’re world class. Harry Maguire is also world class.

    OP I think you have an issue I see in the FIFA generation more and more and it undermines all the points you are trying to make. First of all, talking about Son being a Left winger or an inside forward- just call him a Left sided attacking player (apart from this season) whose role varies depending on tactical need. Next, when talking about attacking impact look at the wider picture and the impact the player has on those around him. Kane and Son hold the record for the most goal/assist combinations on the PL so he must have been doing something right. A good example to underline this point is Jack Grealish for Man City, his numbers on paper are poor but he has a clearly defined role in the team to draw defending players to him and allow his team mates to exploit the space this creates. Does he grab the headlines?- no. Does he contribute to build up play? Of course.

    The actual answer that no one’s giving is he isn’t world class. He was for a time sure. But there aren’t many world class players. He’s very very good though.
