I think he has the ability to have a 20 goal season, and even a 20/20 season, 20 goals and 20 assists. He is that good. Will he? Hard to say, not if he gets hurt again. For a couple of years now, when I watch Arsenal struggling for goal, I say to my crew, "It's time for Saka to put that team on his back and carry it." Sadly, it has not happened yet. That is what I expect from my Marquee player. LIke Henry, Saka has to step up and be the reliable scorer that we need.
Scott, I think you have defined what is "world class". It's not enough to be a 20/20 player every other year. That's simply international class. Not only does your .5 metric need to be upheld, it has to be gotten in the important matches. Not the 4th goal in a 5-0 beat down. In fact, I would be happy if BS was 12/12. If he only did it against 6 teams around us. That is how other EPL champions have walked to the trophy, and were able to focus more on the Champion's League.

Shouldn't criteria for a winger also include non shooting based criteria? I think they can be 'world class' and not primarily a goal scorer.
Feels like the assist should be G+A, not goals
