JazzG Big Willie Agreed, I'd argue Vieira was better than all of them as well...
Was thinking that it's not even close when posting but left it out cuz I didn't want to risk potential grief in case some of our Irish friends on here were super patriotic. 
Big Willie Keane isn't British.
Big Willie That is a sensitive topic, probably best to keep that to yourself! 
Qwiss Big Willie Keane isn't British.
And there we have it 
Big Willie There's two things going on here. Firstly, Rice is so al dente at the moment that the Carraghers and Nevilles are having to admit it. Secondly, the only way they can do it is by comparing him to Roy Keane or Gary Pallister. It's a bit like the syncretic religious symbols created by the Goths when they were Christianised.
Big Willie there you have what? Vieira was way better than Keane IMO, and Keanes a prick but that doesn't change his nationality.

I'm sorry man, I wasn't being serious.
I know we've all said daft stuff on here, but in years to come, we'll all be laughing over the question "which Tolly forumer once described Arsenal legend Declan Rice as a "hyped up Scott Parker"?"...
My goodness, I hope it wasn't me. Lol, I've chatted a lot of shit on here, and still do. 
flobaba sure don't we all!
The biggest compliment I can give him is that he is the closest player we have to being World Class.
No.
Sicario2 - Tier 1 still not having Saka in that category? I thought Thierry made a good case for him in the post match analysis on Tuesday.
He has 3 goals in the league so far this season, his all time best is 4 goals. If he can to 7-10 goals this season that would be a phenomenal return.

Ideally I want Saka to win something before he is labelled World Class but he is obviously close , so is Saliba.
RocktheCasbah Saka is absolutely world class. So is Saliba. Ode and Rice are very close too.

I guess we already knew this, but Arteta confirming Deccers only wanted Arsenal.
Sicario2 - Tier 1 You should use that demand for Harry Kane as well!
Qwiss yeah, I tend to agree with this.
