Don't take fucking shit penalties, Bukayo. But it's okay, you're alright kid, we'll let you keep your place in the squad.

Gurgen

Mentality monster

HomeSteak good. The more key players we renew the less bad I will feel about this passing season.

TambourineMan

Was never worried about Saka, he was always going to sign. It's Saiba and Gabriel we need to tie down.

flobaba

If we haven't got a major trophy in the next 2 seasons I bet he's looking around/walking.

Claudius

flobaba folks were saying this last time he signed.

USArsenal

Yeah, but thats when we were only in phase 3 of the 'plan'. We should be entering phase 5 now.

Sicario2

Looks a lot leaner. Hopefully his first free summer in what feels like ages will do him the world of good

Dragan

Alcaraz making most of his time in London.

Mirth

The real winner of this summer’s transfer activity. He’s going to have so much more space to work with that I predict he’ll reach his highest level yet

Burnwinter

Mirth Let's see what Atlas can do without the sky to hold up …

JazzG

Need to get him and Saliba on new contracts asap, 2 years left to run with both now!

awooga83

Hopefully he'll benefit, he's been outstanding for us but we really need him step it up to another level to take that final step as a team.

Mirth

awooga83 to win it all we need one of our attackers to become a top 10 player in the world. Saka's the closest.

USArsenal

Mirth I would say he is already easily in the top 10 in his position in the world. Unless you mean top 10 'overall forwards' in the world.

flobaba

Yeah he's fine. Super efficient. It's the others that need to step up and give him a bit of room to continue doing his thing. Hopefully Gyokeres and Eze are able to provide a serious alternative threat down the left, bring balance to the force.

awooga83

It's not that he's a problem but we need more from him in terms of contributions, his goals need to go up and hopefully assists as well. That Salah type of effect where he just alway popped up with a goal. That's a level I hope Saka can reach and it would be a boost to are chances of lending the big trophies.

Mirth

awooga83 yep, if you look at the winning teams the best players have an outsized impact.

flobaba

Mirth we already get outsized impact from Saka (and Odegaard). If we would like to see more, then we have to acknowledge that the best players are also optimized to get the best out of them, allowed extra tolerance, allowed some respite to conserve energy for big moments. Let's see Arteta give Saka those conditions if we are to demand that bit of extra from him.

Mirth

flobaba neither Saka nor Odegaard gives us an outsized impact in terms of goals and assists. And I agree part of the reason is because the team wasn’t set up to benefit them but, now that it is, they need to be posting big numbers.
