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.

Real Madrid need investigating for that Odegaard fiasco

Not really sure they do. He wasn’t better than Modric or Kroos when they sold him and he isn’t better than Valverde or Bellingham now.

Madrid have sold of loads of very high quality players in the past, players that would be stars at other clubs are regularly deemed surplus to requirements there. The bar they have for who makes it there is probably higher than any other club in the world.

I consider real world class top 5 in the world in their position.

Rice probably slips in there, saka maybe, don’t know about other two

I think that’s typically how I define it too. Saka is easily a top 5 RW. Saliba is easily a top 5 CB. Rice is easily a top 5 DM

Arguably none. Saliba and Rice are perhaps the best shouts.

Genuinely refreshing to see someone who actually knows what they’re talking about on here.

There’s people in full seriousness claiming Martinelli is world class in here. This place is 99.9% people who have no idea what they’re taking about

Agreed. I think Rodri is the best in the world, and Rice plus Kimmich and maybe Tchouameni are just behind him.

Depends on the definition of world class. It has to be quantifiable to be equally applied to all. For example, being in top 1, 2 or 5% of all ballers based on Transfermarkt evaluations. All the rest are subjective, biased and emotional.

Market prices are definitely subjective so this is a dumb take
