    Not sure of that at all.

    He'll be good but better than Jota, Maeda, CCV, Kuhn, Hatate and McGregor I'm not so sure.

    KT is a world class LB mate, one of the best in his position

    He's a great LB, when fit, but what makes him close to world class? World class players play every game they are available.

    Arteta is a clown, all that needs to be said

    He's a world class LB, no question

    Love KT, but he isn't world class..

    If world class he starts for Arsenal.. or wouldn't actually be there.

    I mean if he's able to take off immediately in thebqay Jota has for his return... then yeah, our left side is going to look insane.

    World class is a bit of stretch though even for me, I feel like it is the Reece James argument "he's amazing..........when fit" and recently he's rarely been fit.

    Which is why I'm intrigued to see if we can sign Schlupp as well because if we can, I'd have him carry on at LB until KT can prove he's fit enough for a run of games to the point we could the utilise Schlupp more in midfield when required for rotation.

    Whether he is World Class or not is debatable. What is not up for debate is that he is class and if he stays fit will strengthen our defence. We will have two of the best full backs country, by a distance.

    How many full games should our first team starters play 30 ? 40 ? Sometimes we play 60 games or more a season

    22 squad an excellent first team and nearly excellent 2nd team made up of class youngsters and players who are in the last chapter of there career it could be done

    Don't think it's realistic to have a squad of 16 we have too many games and injuries and suspensions with that we squad playing all them games

    KT fully fit and on his game is elite level.
    At a minimum is as good as anyone else in our squad, more likely better.

    I think if injuries hadn't impacted his career so much he could have progressed and played for any team on the planet, Madrid, Barca, Bayern etc, I'd say is world class. He's up there with the best in my opinion, he's just been very, very injury plagued.

    I think that’s what we should be aiming at. I would say you want 19 or 20 minimum maybe a couple of guys who can cover a couple of positions like Schlupp, Maeda, and a couple of other versatile players.
