People use to say Martinelli had a higher ceiling and was the better player ffs I was always telling them Saka is so much better and would take years for Gabby to catch up.
So it is about how he behaves off the pitch? You’re literally saying it here. He doesn’t act a certain way so you don’t feel the need to defend him but then you’ll call him Limpayo and other stuff you never did to certain other players. Just an interesting observation.
Why would they do that when he was scoring and we were winning trophies? He was winning back to back international tournaments etc.I would love to go back to the first half of the 1999/2000 season, and see if rival fans would be talking down Thierry like they do with Saka.
"Chris Sutton is way better than that French fraud!"
"Chris Armstrong >>> Thierry Henry, change my mind!"
"Think it's time to just say it, Michael Bridges is a better striker than The Gunners new signing!"
...some of the potential stuff from back then would have been amazing
I don’t think anyone is, but the way people talk about players is directly connected to their race whether you’d admit it or not.
Kai is a hero despite 10 league goals and costing 70M, and probably an empty handed season. Think Titi would’ve been ok.
Do you not see how it’s all popularity contest though? Arsenal fans were still putting Tierney in their first 11’s for this season.
Only Barbershop Twitter don’t rate Saka. The guys that will say dumb statements like Ben Arfa is better than Salah, and Martial is still world class. If you ever had the displeasure of watching Rants on YouTube, you know exactly what I’m talking about.What...do black people not like Saka?
Not sure how you can dislike someone like Saka. He's representing club and country in an impeccable way.
I think he’s a gem. Well spoken, grounded, intelligent, carries himself well. A real credit to his parents.
He's only 22
