Very interesting

He should relax that ridiculously huge grin lest that gigantic vein on his forehead will explode any moment now.

Saka's just a better player than Foden when you take out style points.

Foden's very good but I think he's plateaued a bit. Saka clear.

Saka is the second best player in the league after KDB, and this season he's better.

If you could pick ANY player in the Premier league you would bet on to perform over 38 games, I'm taking Saka.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Such a good representative for Arsenal football club, both on and off the pitch. Clearly some parents and teachers that have contributed to good values there.

Careful chatting about good strong values there, someone here might take you to be competition in marrying your daughter off to him.

Kim K has spoken for him. I think we all know that.

Remember when I said last year he's better already? Can see why people say Foden has comparable talent but he doesn't impact games the same way, been like that for a minute too

How about Haaland who has more than a goal a game in the league and the CL?

Stick Haaland in this Arsenal side, and we are walking the league.

I didn't forget him, but given the choice of either Saka or Haaland in my team I'd keep Saka. He's a very complete footballer. I think Haaland is a ridiculously elite striker, but his output will all depend on what service he gets. Saka goes in to any team and succeeds imo.

Foden's very good but I think he's plateaued a bit. Saka clear.

I would say I thought Foden had slightly more raw talent, but Saka has grown a lot as a player since early 2022, you could literally watch the progression, it's been incredible. Foden at this point is just slicker on the ball, don't see anything else he does better than Saka. Foden is also a big game player too, hopefully Southgate figures out how to utilize him better or maybe England just need a more innovative manager.

Good West African upbringing. The boy reads the good book before he goes to bed every night, and people wonder why he is blessed and highly favored.

What’s the best chapter of the good book for a noob?

If you are a Sp**s fan, I'd say the Book of Job.

Something from the old testament. Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. Kardashians are lucky they live in Babylon.

With City going down Foden will be wanting to join Arsenal to get more football 101 lessons from Saka!

Do you understand what you read? Nicely picked quotes, not showing the full context.

I was saying that Saka is not as good as shooter as Martinelli, ESR or Ødegaard because I saw them as great shooters even at that age. Saka not as great, but close enough.

I have backed all of these players to be good contributors in scoring and assisting, and it has all come into fruition. ESR backing was before his 10 goal season.

Those messages were in defence of Saka being able to score, unlike many thought.

This was the full quote:

I wasn't worried, and said that ESR and Ødegaard have a great shot, so it's mostly a matter of time. And it was.

Now we just need Saka to have a bit more luck with his shots. He isn't as good shooter as those two, but he has good enough finishing potential.

This was the other discussion:

Don't get me wrong. I totally agree with you! He has a lot of potential, and I wish that he would improve his finishing every day. Gabi is not a concern because he is a natural striker, but Saka worries me a bit.

My reply:

If Saka worries you, I'm worried for you.

He has been a staple performer for ages, and is 20 years old.

He is not as good shooter as our other youngsters, but he is not bad.

Main outcome here is that I’ve rated him for a pretty long time, just not to the level that most of A-M did which is obviously the same as hating him.

I never said you hated him, that's your imagination.

I laughed at you saying his ceiling is Bernardo Silva's goal-scoring level, when in fact like I showed, he was already at that level when you made the comment.

That's a really funny controversy when you have critiqued his shooting for some time. It's not deeper than that.

That's what I laughed at, and you have still not explained the issue.
