I truly believe Vidal would be a leader even in Bayern. He would be one of the top 3 players there easily. He brings so much and to listen to some dirty milanista say he isn't WC is laughable.
you are free to believe whatever you like but until it actually happens it's not a fact but a projection, an expectation i.e. same diff as between "potential" and "final product"

no, the Milan fan is just not being too careless with the labeling
Then I don't know what do you expect from Vidal to label him world class. He's a DM and he's doing a hell of a job in that position. He covers so much ground and steals a lot of balls. He's brilliant at that. The rest is just a bonus. He has 23 goals+assists for Juve this year. The goals and the assists are the bonus. What is it that you expect from him and did you expect the same things from Davids, Makelele or Gattuso, for example?

Vidal is wanted by Bayern for a reason. This team, almost perfect in every way want Vidal. Real also, every big club would want him.

So it's a "fact" that Vidal isn't world class now?

I have the impression when I speak to fans of opposing teams that a lot more people consider him WC than not. And rightly so, he's an absolutely fantastic defensive midfielder (even with attacking qualities). Who, in your opinion, is better at what he does?

Most people know what Vidal is about and what he brings to the table. If a minority claims it's a "fact" that he isn't world class, it's their problem.

LoL, it's a DM and:

- Highest scorer.
- Highest amount of assists.
- Highest amount of tackles & won balls.

I think the label reality is a bit hard to swallow for the poor guy.

biased I am not, even if you probably don't realize I can say the same about just about everyone here ;)
I am not saying he is a poor player or he can't become WC, just that he needs to get better and become a difference maker at the next level in order to be undoubtedly WC.

He was great vs Chelsea but Chelsea should not be used as a benchmark for their winning the CL last year - this year that team has gone thru a tumultous season of coaching changes, improper transfer policy, etc, etc. At the time you beat them in the groups, they were losing games vs average teams in the EPL.
People made the mistake to expect a lot from Juve namely due to that game vs Chelsea and an actually proper team came a long, you guys looked out of your league (an no, Vidal was little more than good vs Bayern - he just didn't suck like the rest of your midfield).

He's been inconsistent in general, not just CL games at high level - but that is kind of my point - he hasn't proven himself at the big stage enough in order to be considered WC yet ... maybe one day he would be WC but as of right now, you guys are getting ahead of yourselves with the labeling (not the first time, tbh ;))
Name 5 better box to box centre mids I dare you
