Bukayo Saka: New long term deal signed 📝

[grange]

City are paying Marmoush 295k/wk. Saka deserves the wages more than that clown. We move.

the Calafiori over-rating,

Agree with this. I was huge on this guy earlier in the season but he looks so ****ing rusty after every single injury. And there are a lot of those.

I think fans think he can do more than he actually can. No doubt he's a talented player but think the belief any good attacking team has their left back as the 'wild card' that makes their attack click is misguided. Most of the time he looks busy and does some half decent stuff but I'd rather it was just Eze or Trossard receiving the ball there

On a really disappointing night, I thought he played well in the #10. Just a shame the attack sucked.

I'm not sure, didn't knit the play nor show much playmaking instincts. Think he's better as a winger who inverts

Me too but it's nice to see him regularly get the ball somewhere other than the touchline against 2/3 players.

He looks a shadow of the player he was, lost all his pace…. but still, for the love of god play him wide so we don’t have to watch that zero brain cell, Chelsea reject out there murdering every attack.

The pace bit is gonna take time to get back close to what it was after the surgery & all the niggles he is getting now. He still has the same ability, just the injuries are derailing him (in the same boat as Ødegaard). But as you said, should play RW over the nothing guy we paid a fortune for

This is what this forum wants from their 3rd midfielder right now. I suppose I get it. He's certainly smart enough to contribute from right behind the striker. But I also think he's smart enough to contribute as an inverting winger from the half spaces.

Watching him and Rice out there as midfielders makes me seriously question what they teach players in England.

 

[Malky]

Not the answer in the 10, and now struggles to beat his man as winger because his pace is cooked.
£300k a week looking like a ****ing great decision right now

I work for the FA, it's a shambles

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

At least he back to scoring but overall performance wasn't great.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

He was never lighting, but he had enough pace to get away from his man. Today he lead 2/3 counters and couldn't take advantage of the space. I felt so sad in that ****ing stand watching him today.

The 300k is compensation for screwing him
Over. Always knew Arteta would end him as player

Saka has finally reached Salah's level, but there's a nuance.

His fitness is embarrassing.

All the people that were complaining about overplaying him might have been right.

Yeah it's really bad. I hope it's just a temporary thing but I'm really not sure. He's 24 and they'll run him into the ground for club and country. Like they have already
