Yeah. If KDB is the bottom standard of no. 10 world class, then who else are world class? Perhaps Messi (still questionable) and Neymar, and then?

Find it ridiculous praisign a player for "working hard", should be the bare minimum, we should be chastising players thata dont.
And again I am no tsaying he isnt a good player, he is. But I am saying he isnt world class or one of the best in the world. I mean you are basially describing a good player yourself, hardly the description of a world class one. He has been better the last few months, he was excellent the start of his career here. He has been dreadful for a good 14months or so though in between those periods....that doesnt make him a bad player, many have failed here that are top top players.
My point is simply I dont see him as one of the worlds best or having been a briliant player here so far overall, despite what the stats seem o say, the whole reason I dotn believe in stats as a barometer for judging a player
This is one of the main things I dont understand "performances of the last 3years"....I appreciate the best world eleven point, totally agree with that, but for at least 1/3 arguably half of the last 3 years, he has been poor for club and country, he seems to be living off the first 12months here (pver two seasons) in many eyes to me, he has been decent again the last few months....but it took a good year of him being as inconsistent as Pogba to get the same stick.
I dont get the number 10 point either, not many sides are even playing with a number 10 and Fernandes isnt really playing as one, there is a dearth of them in all honesty in the modern game, but CIty undoubletly for me have three better than Fernandes not jsut DeBruyne.
There are several younger players not yet at the biggest clubs i think are already better than Fernandes who can go on to be world class. Fernandes is at his peak and he isnt world class, for me he is mentioned in the bracket based on 12 months of his career in a period there arent many about, but there are a lot of young ones comign through.
Again he has been a good signing, but lets not pretend he hasnt been crap for several months during his spell here as he has been, last season for example he was nowhere near one of the best players in world football, there were several in the premiership were far far better than him, doesnt mean they are better players as most arent, but he hasnt been great the whole time here, far from it, he got a sparkly new contract of the back of a terrible season peformane wise
3 assists in 2 games at the WC
Lovely
Lovely
Two assists, one goal.
Has looked really sharp in these two games.
Fifa have confirmed that to be the case now. So I’ll agree
He has been carrying Portugal, easily their best player in those two games.
Been awesome.
What a player. Has run the game for Portugal tonight, at the very heart of everything.
2 goals 2 assists
2 goal Bruno
What a player.
Love the guy. One of our best transfers in last 10 years
Surely he's the best transfer we've had in the last 10 years? Genuinely can't think of a transfer that turned out better.
I’m with my mates and one said after first goal he’s the best post SAF signing and I’m struggling to name better.
Where’s @Jeppers7 & co. to tell us he’s shite?
The busiest poster in the thread does a great vanishing act when it suits.

Having a great tournament these 2 games. Easily their best player in both.
Probably our best, no? Can't think of anyone more significant.
Casemiro
The great thing about this for us United fans is that not only has Bruno scored twice but the circumstances of both goals will have irritated the narcissistic one no end (the first because he wanted it allocated to him and the second because Penaldo would have loved a chance to statpad with a soft pen). Beautiful stuff!
Deserved his hat trick then, he's having a great world cup
He’s looked sharp all season. We just don’t have the forward line to take advantage of him.
Too soon, but could be a ridiculous signing.
Unlucky not to get hattrick..
What a player our Bruno is!
What a player our Bruno is!
Portugal best player.
Another poor game Masked by nearly scoring 4 goals
He's been fantastic this game, hope he can bring this form back to United
He'll say its stat padding.
Fecking hell I so love how he wants this hat trick 
Monster
MOTM by a mile
stealing twinkle toes thunder, love it.
Haters are hiding.
Portugal’s best
Just get Ronaldo out of his way and he’s gold.
Leao, this. Felix, that. Bernardo… Portugal’s main man so far, no question.
Bossing it
