  1. I have been itching to say this, Saka is not a world class player. Saying he is a world class player, is an insult to player on the world class spectrum like Messi, Mbappe, Neymar and the likes.

    Football has really fallen, back in the days during the regime of Ronaldinho, Delimma Ronaldo and others, we didn't look at G/A. We looked at Goals at times (inconsequential if you are not a forward player) and even at times, performance on pitch and not necessarily their stats (Iniesta and Xavi). Nowadays, we look at G/A because Football quality has really dropped and we drool over these players being class when they are not.

    Look at Odegaard, to me he is way better than Saka and probably for me one of the best attackers in the world and the way he plays. Watch him and not stats and don't let Media let you believe what they are not. Saka is good but putting him at the level of Messi, he is still so far off.

  2. Changing gears, can the Shaka comment on his man, Ramsdale. He was condemning Mikel for bringing in Raya whom he rated as no better than Ramsdale. See the save against Wolves and still have that view? And let’s not get into Kai…I don’t really see a queue outside the Emirates to sign Arsenal’s England’s no. 2. No disrespect to Aaron, only a reflection on Shaka’s “punditry”.

  3. His comparison to Messi was a response to a specific question by the press to the manager. It is not like Arteta called the press conference and heaped praise on Saka.

  4. I never knew Craig's brain is wobbly, the "like Messi" quote is accurate in the sense, when you need a player to turn up for you, it's Messi for Barcelona, Miami, Argentina. For Arsenal, that's Saka.

  5. If saka was a city player and he won everything you still not rate him . I bet you foden wouldn't have won anything if he was playing for arsenal. Saka is a better all round player than foden I know what is going on . There's no need to keep kneeling down before a match because it doesn't change anything because ya all racist

  6. Saka's level of Consistency is why what happened this weekend look normal. Watch this same fucks go crazy when Foden scores a goal and an assist against Ipswich.

  7. Saka is 22 and has been on double digits for 3 years for goals and assists … What is Craig about ? …. Foden is 24 😂😂 …. But …. Yeah

  8. How much more consistent can he be?!?! Do they expect a goal every game? I’m so confused? Consistency and availability are literally his superpowers!
