He is our star, if he is fit he plays, his alternative should be a kid from the club.
Thats how you build a team.
I am much more worried about our left winger situation.

Personally I think Saka is a more rounded player and it's open for debate if he's a better player as it stands. Quite different players though.
But I'm judging Sanchez on his prime years, Saka is 22. It's not a fair comparison.
Could you imagine Arteta's reaction if Sanchez started doing that pointless individual press in this side? Arteta would blow a gasket

Anyway I rated Sanchez, very good player in a fairly poor team by Arsenals standards.
But c'mon when you've seen Thierry Henry, DB10 etc you're not going to get all that worked up over him.
Maybe WC for a shortish spell but generally a level under that.

World class is dependent on your peers?
Can you be a better player than your 'world class' teammate, but not world class due to other elite players at your position?

I would say that's exactly right. If you're an Olympic 100m finalist, you're a world class sprinter, even if it's a down year and no one is even close to Usain Bolt's time. If you're only a semi-finalist in the 400m, you're not world class, even if you're historically fast but there just happens to be a generational collection of talent at the distance.
He would fit right into this team because he would be backed up by everyone.

Most of us agree, but will Arteta play a kid to rest Saka?
That's why the logic then goes to get someone comparable that Arteta will feel comfortable switching with but that dynamic regardless of how it works out is temporary.

Being the best of a bad bunch means your best in class, and it means something... but I agree with your suggestion and I personally don't use the top x in position way of looking for things.
I am looking for players who are consistently decisive in games of the highest level i.e highest level opponents and highest pressure games/situations.

His P.R is in the gutter in the eyes of the neutral.
The point was he was doing things that was not in line with the rest of the team. he was pressing for pressing sake and showing off to the gallery
Country: Canada
So he has comparable defensive numbers to one of the best fullbacks in the PL while also having elite attacking output.
Freak.

I dont get it. He is hated by opposition fans which you want but even here on AM he gets tons of hate all the time. Sad.
Country: Iceland
Everywhere you look, every stat says he is there. A top player in his position. Probably the best there is.
What factor could it be that so many even on this forum dislike him?

We're so lucky to have him and he's not even close to his prime. He doesn't have the personality to be a celebrity of the game so he's going to be underestimated for his entire career, I think, unless he has some big moment for England. I think being underdogs suits us so he's just fine.

AM literally watch Saka every week and still pretends that he isn't double-marked or full backs are allowed to tackle him at free will without almost never get yellow and he still comes out on top almost every time.
