You get invited to many parties Sicario?

Its simple. He is our best prospect currently and we have lost many top young players past 5 years. Its important we don't lose one more when we are in dire financial state.

There's plenty of things to indicate how far we've fallen but I don't think being happy at keeping a significant talent is one of them. I'd have been gutted even if the team was full of starts.

I think what's super exciting about Saka isn't that he's putting in good performances, it's that he's actually making a difference and able to point to some really good numbers. Three goals and nine assists in 25 starts is nothing to be sniffed at even for an established player, never mind an 18yr old often stuck playing at full back.

Official. That was a quick turn around by orny

worthy of a glass of scotch. You sip on your juicebox Sicario 🙂

Saga comes to an end, roll credits.

I think Arteta should be grateful for having someone like Freddie in the management ranks, who I believe has been fundamental in Sako's promotion, growth as a player. Having that continued presence and tutelage is going to help him get closer to elite/ world class here for x amount of years.

Thank fuck for this! This is so vital for us.

Cue sharp decline in form. 😉

Good news though, now let's shift some of the deadwood.

As I said happy that he has signed.

A lot of credit should go to Emery for giving him his debut and offering him a chance.

I’m told Bukayo Saka has signed a 4 year contract, which runs to 2024 #arsenal #afc

Great news!

If he really did have City and/or Liverpool in his ear then we're very lucky he's chosen to remain loyal over what would have, in my opinion, been a better career choice.

Hopefully, it's a new era at Arsenal and we actually help the kid to grow into top player in whichever is his best position, don't run him into the ground and ruin him as a result, and put a team around him that gives him the opportunity to thrive.

Great stuff, was worried we might lose him.

Get Auba done for 2 or 3 more years now and I might just start believing in this club again.

Saka's great technically which isn't uncommon for our academy graduates but is also physically gifted and makes the right decisions on the pitch more often than not.

Even in this market, he's worth at least 30m.

He, Martinelli and Saliba are the ones we should be building around.

And Partey who had another stormer at the nou camp last night.

Good stuff. Let’s go Arsenal!
