Bukayo Saka: Little Chilli

[Mrs Bergkamp]

He's carried us this season and is always a joy to watch even when in dodgy form. Love the lad. He should call Pires to help himself develop.

 

[AberGooner]

Been a pleasure to watch in a disaster of a season. Really special talent but I'm glad he's got out of this season injury free, played too many games at such a young age.

 

[MaraDon]

One of the few positives of the seasons.

 

[kash2]

play him at #10 ... you cant coach vision.

 

[Riou]

Saka winning Arsenal's player of the season >>> Mbappe winning world player of the year, imo.

 

[Blankety Blank]

Absolutely love the Kid but he will imho be looking to produce better figures next season with goals & assists if he is playing an the top end of the pitch.

I know stats dont tell the whole story but only 3 assists in the prem this season so hopefully can kick on in that dept & also chip in with a few more goals. I really think he tired considerably towards the end of a very tough season but that is understandable especially for a young player.

 

[Keplaz]

I see he's been named provisionally for England. This is very selfish but I want him to not go. He was so tired at the end of the season, I think a real break would be good for him. He hasn't played anything like he's capable of lately.

 

[Rimaal]

Congrats, Saka, my boy. So very much deserved.

This lad working under someone like Conte would take Europe by storm.

Sadly, he's stuck with the Inspector Gadget of Managers.

I think still he might not go and waistcoat will prefer Lingard over him

 

[BigPoppaPump]

He deserves to play for Man City, breaks my heart seeing him have to listen to Arteta.

You don't have to make everything about Mikel, tbh

What’s wrong with inspector gadget?

He was great. I just felt he stole the limelight from the show's true star, Chief Quimby

He can't control players not finishing the chances he creates for them. You can criticize his one v one finishing ability and some of his sloppy touches, but the rest of his game is pretty mature for his age. Even against West Brom, he easily could have had 3 assists in that game. Many other games he created chances and the players hit the bar or missed right in front of the GK. I said earlier in this thread that Saka has the talent to break Henry's assist record under the right system and with the right players around him.

And you thought @Macho was in a precarious state. Next to me the man's a paragon of self reflection

 

[Jack badmon]

Congratulations Bukayo. Silver lining in a **** season for you.

 

[Riou]

Second year in a row he has been nominated for young player of the year...



...considering how inconsistent we have been as a team, in his 2 years in the side, that's a great achievement for him...fully deserved too!

 

[Oxeki]

I know it's a quote from Southgate, but still...

 

[Gooner416]

Starts for England today.
