Saka

Panda

Everytime he receives the ball on the inside right channel near the edge of the box. I expect him to make something happen and nearly every time he does. That is how good he is. Delivering on very high expectations.

Gurgen

He is the best in his position. People who deny it don’t have a clue.

Top 3 after Salah and Raphinha

Claudius

Sicario2 why is Raphinha ahead of Saka? Because he's in a rich vein of form in November?

Gurgen

Sicario2 nah. Salah has half the brain and Raphinha doesn’t even play the same sport.

Qwiss

Sicario2 Salah is debatable. Raphina not even close.

lorddulaarsenal

Saka is better than both.

TambourineMan

Love Saka but Salah is better.

goon

He’s got KDB and Thierry in his sights. 13 more assists in 26 games is definitely doable.

Give it a year or two (or maybe even this year) and he’ll be doing Thierry like numbers in terms of goals and assists.

Claudius

goon I fully believe in this trajectory. Been saying kid will blow up Salah style by next year.

Burnwinter

He's one of the most ruthless goalscorers I've ever seen in an Arsenal shirt.

He's also this guy:

Could you love him more? Please never change.

Sicario2

Burnwinter
Let’s hope we can win the trophies his talent deserves and he doesn’t get fed up here in 2 years and fucks off to a Real Madrid as that would be a travesty.

Claudius

Sicario2 he isn’t fucking off to Real Madrid.

Burnwinter

Sicario2 Sure. We need to close out a major trophy to keep this group together, I've been saying it for two seasons already.

My point though: Saka always seems to be a nice young man and I appreciate that about him.

banduan

Of course Salah is better than Saka. He's not gonna be around for the next 5 years though.

Clrnc

I can agree with Salah being better as of now, but Raphinha is not playing as a RW and hasn't for a long time now

I would put Saka 3rd as well but behind Yamal

goon

Clrnc but behind Yamal

Feel like Yamal gets talked about being better than he is because of his age, bit like Bellingham. Might be unfair though because I've not seen much of him this year. Has he gone up a level? Because if it's similar to the Euros then no way is he better than Saka.

That's not me playing down his ability, that it's even comparable speaks volumes for a 17yr old.

Clrnc

goon the things he does on the field this season for Barca is outrageous. He has things in his locker that other RW don't have.

7 goals 8 assists in 16 games without pens. He will probably take the game by storm this decade

Lukazan

Not interested in comparing him to Salah and co but my word is Saka special. He's the kind of of player that will strive to keep improving all throughout his twenties, which is a scary thought. Footballing IQ is off the charts. Not sure I'd swap him for anyone.

Claudius

The Saka comparisons are to the very best players out of thousands of top level professionals. The rest is splitting hairs

Qwiss

Claudius seen a tweet earlier saying he's past comparisons to Foden, Palmer, etc and it's Salah, etc now. He's up there with the very best in the world. Salah is the best PL player since Henry and Saka is at his level.

IBL

Y'know Saka's stock would be even higher if it wasn't for the fact that he is routinely targeted and fouled/manhandled by the opposition, if he had been afforded some reasonable protection from the ref he'd have scored and created more goals for sure.

Imagine if Chiellini had not dragged him down last minute in the Euro finals a few years ago, he could be a national hero right now.

Sicario2

IBL
If buts and maybes. If Maradona’s handball goal v England didn’t stand they prob wouldn’t have won the World Cup.
