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.

Ramsdale apparently was just 6 months ago haha
I’d take any replies from Arsenal fans with a pinch of salt
World Class: would get into a “world” World Cup 23 man squad.
I’ll have a think over how many/any get in.
None. They haven’t win anything major or only had one good season.
Bait post for rival fans
What IS world class? A term coined by social media and pundits?
No one lol
Havertz.
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.
Top 3 in their position worldwide
If they can get into any other staring 11 in the world, they are world class.
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.
So there’s only one world class goalkeeper in the world?
Nope
Saliba, Rice and Saka
Rice is probably the 2nd best DM in the world so I’d say him and yeah any club would start Saliba. Saka and odegaard not quite yet imo.
None. Maybe Odegaard at a push
Saka, Martinelli, Odegaard, and Rice imo
Saliba, Rice & Saka
Saliba and Rice. Saka knocking on the door.
Saka is top 5 at worst, and arguably top 3 in the world at RW.
He’s world class
Nah Saka now, lad has 9 goal involvements in 12 games this season. He’s our best attacker and it’s not even a contest.
Saka not there for me. Man is a level behind Salah and Silva so can’t really make a case for world class when you aren’t at the top of respective league
He’s not Salah level but the difference between a good player and a class player is, imo, consistency.
Saka’s been one of our most consistent players over the past 3-4 years.
I dont think any of them are WC yet, but to me thats an issue of their age and experience. Saka is probably the closest to WC than all of them, then i would put Rice and Saliba after him. Odegaard needs to find consistency in his form. Martinelli needs to improve in more than a few areas, but he’s not far away from the conversation.
