Depends what division we are in..

Wow. Are my eyes dreaming, or have I just seen the words 'world class' met with Pogba & Lingard?!?!...
Sweet Jehova of Bethlehem!
The other three are very good players I grant ya, but not a chance they'd be considering coming here ahead of two/three dozen other European clubs.

We don’t know really. Given Richarlison went you would think a replacement would of been lined up to come in soon after to train and settle in with the squad during pre season.

Also, those lads are not working for free. Thelwell is on an absolute hiding to nothing, expected to achieve results with his hands tied behind his back.

Not his fault, pal.
well how does one define "world class" because its meaning is about as subjective as every parent who thinks their child is the best child in the world

Perhaps being careful with what little he has

Generally speaking it pretty much means "the absolute elite", "nobody better", etc. It's not a complicated nor trick concept.
I'd wager most people wouldn't class Pogba or Lingard as world class (I can think of 50 better players in their positions off the top of my head); same goes for Dybala and Eriksen and Belotti, even though they are good players.
Not an ounce of interest from the likes of Madrid or Barca or Bayern or City or PSG or the RS or any other European top level club should tell you their status as to being regarded as "world class". (One just signed for newly promoted Forest after hawking himself around the MLS and Saudi, and another picked ManU ahead of Brentford). Now if Mbappe or Haaland or VVD or Lewandowski or DeBruyne were available on a free, the queue would be out the door.

Obviously had his car wheel clamped in Burnley.
there's always going to be a debate about who is world class or who is an "elite player". The same way the debate that rages on who is better between Messi and Ronaldo. Its always going to be a subjective opinion.
by the way i would probably argue that a world cup winner who started 6 out of the 7 games and scored in the final is probably an elite player.

For 10 years the debate has been 'Messi or Ronaldo', not 'Messi or Ronaldo or Jesse Tiktok or The dabbing haircut or the bloke from Torino'.
Mario Goetze scored a world cup winning goal, is he an elite player? Franny Jeffers has 1x more Prem winners medals than Suarez, how bout him?
what I think or what anyone else thinks is irrelevant because its all subjective

Fair enough; but we're shopping around the freebies from the likes of Shalke or Burnley or Hoffeheim or Bordeaux or Chelsea Loan Dept, not top level names. The top names have never heard of us, and we're maybe looking at names most fans haven't heard of.
I wouldn't be expecting any major coups anytime soon (although that Rondon/Messi swap deal would make Jim White's head explode).
