Bukayo Saka (7)

The shorts don’t look very flattering, he looks pleased to see the crowd.

We’ll see. I ordered the third shorts. Hopefully they don’t make me look like early 00s AI.

Well you’ll certainly stand out

One of the best wingers in the world.

We need to protect him better and get him some help

Without Saka, we instantly fall into a 3rd place team. Maybe even fourth.

Need cover for him asap.

Hate to break it to you but if Saka is the only thing that makes us a top 2 side then we won’t finish in the top 2.

I understand what you mean, but if Saka’s form drops off like Martinelli last season, there is no second Trossard to come in & make up the numbers. We do need a backup but yeah finding a Trossard level backup will be difficult.

I would say the player that can give us most of what Saka does and is willing to be his understudy doesn’t exist.

True, there isn’t likely a player that can deliver the numbers he can; but the drop off from him to Nelson is unacceptable for a team gunning for the the title. Edu/Arteta need to do something.

We know its 3x harder to win the EPL as the cheats are even more dominant than Man Utd in SAF’s heyday.

We can’t be relying on scrubs to get us over the line this time around — cause they won’t.

Confident we can win it with martinelli and trossard/jesus if needed.

Odegaard is the only guy we can’t do without, maybe saliba too given Timber is part time atm.

Nelson wouldn’t play in Saka’s absence thats the job for Gabi Jesus

good shout actually, that’s not too bad a replacement. Just hope he can be effective this season and not pick up another 3-month injury.

Which returns us to the initial problem. Gabriel Jesus is currently our best backup for two positions and he’ll most likely be getting a knee rub when we need him to be starting.

If he was reliable fitness wise I think most fans would be a lot more comfortable with the 6 we have.

I just hope mikel and edu are prepared to pay up in jan if they roll the dice on Jesus and it backfires.

Saka will go on to become a better player than Ronaldo, no doubt.
