How many in the arsenal squad are world class? Define WC and list:
For me world class means the player would not look out of place starting for Citeh, Barca, RM or Bayern.
Saliba , Saka, Odegaard and Rice.
No one is really world class yet. Which is why Arteta deserves more credit!
Everyone is sleeping on Partey. Rice hasn’t reached his level yet. Partey was the top DM in the league for 3 quarters of the season I’d say. Top destroyer and he also has the silkiness to progress a pass even against the press.
If we’re going off of this season alone so far it’s Saka, Saliba, and Rice. The squad is filled with players who have the potential to get there though.
Doesn’t show up in europe becouse most of the time is injured
Don’t wanna sleep on partey, or near him for that matter. Some very good reasons people don’t like mentioning him.
Why do people use the term world class when literally nobody has a shared definition of the term.
Then people moan it’s used loosely but they themselves can’t define it.
Pretty strange argument we all keep having.
I love how this comment is followed by people arguing about what world class is.
Yeah kinda exactly proves the point.
If they can get into any other staring 11 in the world, they are world class.
Nope
So there’s only one world class goalkeeper in the world?
for me its if you would base a starting 11 around them, not every team could fit in mbappe but youd sure as hell try fit him in
The players on hand dictate the football you play. Unless they’re an idiot, no manager is going to scoff at using one of the best players in the world because they don’t fit into what they’re doing at a certain point in time.
Top 3 in their position worldwide
I am obliged to say None; but in all seriousness Ødegaard is pretty good.
Tomiyasu
Saliba and Odegaard could get a look in but Rice and Saka would not start for those teams at all. At best would be squad depth.
I think are Saka,Saliba,Martinelli,Jesus,Odegaard and Rice
Gimme some of what you’re smoking
Saka and Rice are the only definites imo. Saliba can get there soon - he just needs to keep up his current level for another 1 or 2 years.
Most people don’t watch every Arsenal game and they’ll decide based on what they read from everyone else (who also don’t watch every game), or maybe they’ll catch some highlights. Also, what does World Class even mean?
No one on Arsenal is world class. World Class is like Harry Kane, Rodri, KDB, Salah, not a signle player on Arsenal is even close to that level. They can get there, but they are not there now.
Saka ?
Arsenal does not have 4 world class players.
How many do we have then? That was the question.
World Class: the peak, the pinnacle, the best of the best right now in their position.
The list:
Saliba and Rice
Obviously quite good at football > world class
None yet. If they do a deep run in UCL and win PL or come very close again I’d throw some names in there
