So Sara is on to double his output from last year, Odegaard is about the same, Jesus is a but down and Martenelli is shit?

Not convinced Saka is world-class either yet. He's on the way, but he either needs to consistently showcase decent numbers over a longer period or have one year where his numbers go next level. Gomez demonstrated that Saka can be fully nullified with decent 1-1 defending.
My gut feeling is Arsenal overachieved last season - a lot of relatively young players had strong seasons, but there's always going to be bumps and inconsistency as they gain more experience in the PL. They are well-placed to be a feature in the CL for the next 4-5 years, but whether Arteta has the tactical nous and makes enough right decisions in the market to be able to compete against us and Peps City at the very top is questionable.
Arsenal generally do pretty well in the market, but signing Havertz instead of a striker or finisher is rightly coming under scrutiny and ultimately will cost them silverware this year.

Saka has developed into a player that dives, rolls around and seems more focused on that part of his game then developing the attacking play.
Feels like he has regressed a bit this season in all honesty. Shame we cant sign him as Klopp would have developed him into one helluva player.
Needs to stop with the non football related stuff on the pitch.

Top 5 right wingers in the world?
Oops my bad
He's 22 mate. I'll be surprised if he doesn't dominate the league in a couple of years time
Is Saka a Ronaldo or a Sterling? I guess that's the benchmark these days. Or is a Ronaldo comparison never fair on anyone?
A sterling I think. Which is not a slight
I get that, he's not 'world class' but that describes the top 5 forwards in the world at any one time. Sterling has been exceptional throughout a long career that is not yet done
Saka is not world class. He may hit that height but I think you'd get good odds on the possibility
Sterling has been a good player mate, not exceptional.
I'd say Saka is currently like Sterling at Liverpool. A stand out player in the league but that's it so far.
Next up: Fulham (A) for FA Cup, Aston Villa (A) in the league
Has he? I thought he'd yet to stand trial even!
So not in prison
Ex-defender Alves' trial set for February 2024 - BBC Sport

City getting sanctioned and then him getting disqualified from working in the game shortly after taking over would be too good to be true - funny as fuck if it happened.
Probably a nice change of pace for them though, it’s usually sexual offences they have issues with
You know what, I’d love it if that happened, love it!
