goon if Saka chooses to leave money on the table, that's on him. He is worth whatever the market is willing to pay. Might not look like value on our end, but if others are making those types of offers to players of his caliber (or less) then we need to be ready to make similar commitments if that's what the kid insists on. We are just fortunate he came through our system, and is a decent kid.

JazzG It's going to look not just good but like an absolute steal within a couple of years, you'd think.

flobaba We are just fortunate he came through our system

Yeah, but the key to these moments is for these Hale End boys to feel like they're fortunate they came through our system. The warm fuzzy aspect at the moment is that a few of them do seem to feel that way.

Nevermind release clauses, where are we gonna put his statue when he retires?

Qwiss funny, I had the same thought yesterday. I take the above point about Wilshere, but this kid is well on his way to being the greatest we've produced out of our academy. He's literally got everything.

He's already only five games off Jack's total for the club too.

Burnwinter -- Saka is clearly ahead of the rest, but I think Ramsey on his day (even across a few seasons) had a far larger impact than Martinelli (or Wilshere). At his best he was a match winner through and through who also contributed more defensively than Saka, Martinelli, or Wilshere.

Qwiss there's another stadium not far from ours that serves basically no purpose...

Any one that understands football wouldn't find it difficult to see that Saka is levels and levels above Rashford.

Saka is already elite, and there is only direction he's going from here. Barring bad injuries, he's destined for the very top. Rashford is a decent to good player on a hot streak.

He could have easily had another assist yesterday as well. The ball he played to Martinelli in the back post was sublime, defender did brilliantly to make Gabby mistime his header.

There isn't a single facet of the game that he's not excellent at. Absolutely ridiculous player. We're blessed to have him.

Burnwinter

I see you're brushing up on your Yoruba.

Love this.

He has definitely made more steps forward this season.. Scary thing is he hasn't even reached his peak, you can now potentially see him being able to reach those Henry levels of just being unplayable.

Generational talent.

We're delusional if we expect THESE refs to start protecting him more. It's not going to happen.

Saka's incredible though. That video almost brought a tear to my eye.

Not sure what award this is, but since they all attended I assume it's something somewhat known. Good for them. Saka would be my winner, but then maybe we wouldn't have gotten all three awards.

I’m happy with the winners. This is Saka’s second young player award. Congrats to all three men. A preview to the season awards.

QuincyAbeyie Saka would be my winner, but then maybe we wouldn't have gotten all three awards.

Saka best players, Martinelli best young.

Ode deserves recognition as well though so what they chose is fine.

Øde is one of those guys who won't win too many of these, because there will usually be some showboat with higher GA or a fancier hairstyle, so I'm glad he picked this up. As a pure footballer he's class, must be one of the best technicians Arsenal's ever had.

Øde and Saka—two guys who've spent the whole season making each other better. It's a good year to support the best football club with the greatest history in the biggest city in the country with the strongest league.

QuincyAbeyie Not sure what award this is

It was started up by Bob Wilson to fundraise for his charity, Willow.

I have to say if we go onto win the league I don't think you could argue much with all of these guys winning the national awards.
