Bukayo Saka: Saka The Net

[NieThePiet]

Some really shouldn't underestimate the fact, that it's a very long season for such a young player - especially after the Euros and a short break.

It's a normal and human, that these performances are happening now at the end of the season. He was run to the ground, had to start nearly every time, even with smaller injuries.

& in addition it completely destroyed the confidence from Pepe, who never had a chance to start games.

Hopefully he refuses a new deal, and we are forced to sell in the summer.

This wonderkid deserves a much better fanbase, than our scummy lot.

A permanent fixture in the stadium I believe. He is treated like the second coming of Christ here by the club and fans alike.

Fake news, tbh.

I have been to the Emirates several times from 2006 to 2018, never seen this wall even once.

Our fans clearly hate him and he deserves so much better!

I think it was installed a few weeks ago?

 

[Malky]

When’s the last time he played well?

Chill, man, it's all good. He's just burnt out from playing one game a week.

 

[lomekian]

Must be playing injured, he was brilliant up until the Leeds game.

Arteta killed any chance of rotating him though, by not playing Pepe after he won us the Wolves home game.

Cheers, Mikel

The Wolves game was literally one of only 2 appearances this year that Pepe hasn't looked totally lost

 

[lomekian]

More people need to admit this. He'll never be THAT winger. We need goal scoring wingers.

He's got 11 goals as a 20 year old in a team that has only functioned for half a season. Sure he's no Salah, but he is the best winger of that age in the country. (unless you think Foden is a winger)

 

[Jasard]

He looks ****ed

 

[<<reed>>]

When’s the last time he played well?

@A_G going after Arsenal players like Pat Bev going after CP3

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

He looks ****ed

A proper player and a proper interview. He's as gutted as any real Arsenal fan

 

[Penn_]

Is it not more over reliance than overplayed?

Minutes wise he’s played no more than I’d expect of an important member of the first team, that has no European football to contend with.

Being the main threat, with no experienced heads to lean on must weigh heavy though. If we compare to the closest other talent Wilshere and Fabregas they had far greater players around them to ease the pressure.

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

The only player i would sacrifice my left nut for

 

[sergio_giorgini]

He looks ****ed

Fuq off you little pr!ck…(Saka not @Jasard)

 

[Bloodbather]

Awful performance yesterday, but his performances have been declining for weeks now so I wonder if it's down to fatigue due overreliance at a young age.

I would say it's related to the fact that the whole team is poor, and he is not the man yet who can make the difference on his own, and right now if the team struggles he will be the same. I'm not bothered as there are only a few players in world football who can drag their teams on their own

Why is he upset? Didn't he get the memo that they overachieved this season and Top 6 was the target?

First Ødegaard saying CL was the target now Saka upset we missed out? Marseille gonna have a very exciting young team next year.

 

[Penn_]

Chances of him not signing or worse being pounced on this summer?

Wouldn't mind taking 100m or whatever it was paid for Sancho + 30m. But then, can't give that money to Edu and Arteta as they would just go crazy and buy more Cedric's Willian's and Mari's

 

[14Henry]

Some reports are saying that Sakas contract runs until 2024 but Arsenal have the option to extend by a further year. Does anyone know how accurate this is? If its 2024 we need to get him signed up to a new deal ASAP.

Liverpool might need a wide right sided player if Salah doesn't resign.

This really should have been sorted last summer.
