World class = get into any team in the world hence you are world class.
Obviously there's subjectivity but that's the best way to look at it. Teams like Barca and Bayern don't come in for players off the back of one good season which is why Rooney was never world class, Adebayor and Kevin Phillips before then.
For example for me Alli and Kane aren't world class, both had back to back excellent seasons in the league, but have so far failed in Europe and for England. Gareth Bale would be though, has proved himself everywhere.
As for money, I don't care as its not coming out of my pocket but the fees now are insane in England.
