I know he's one of the missing link of the attack, but I just thought he won't see shirt like that due to the players above him in pecking order. But in of qualities, he's one of the best wingers in that squad.

Just glad Southgate played him and grealish ystdy.
Upward and Onwards with Saka always..
. Yea bro

Nonsense talk, same chukwueze when nor know he left leg from right na you take they compare saka.

If we were to make a survey around the country. Most people will pick saka over 3 chukwueze e get why.
An average player in laliga even among his age mates

In the end, you just said Nothing. All words and no single concrete point.

The first bolded is pure beer parlour nonsense.

The second bolded is an absolutely ridiculous assumption.

Please don't quote me again with such unintelligent, substance-less assertions. Thank you.

Even Without Iwobi, Nacho, Aribo, Etebo at the middle, their replacements can never be this bad.

Ndidi alone will see 4m sef.

Ejuke would even do the width of the field twice before dem colet the ball. Infact put Balogun there sef, he'd still see 4m to progress.

One thing is it would be one tough miracle if England happen to smell the semis, or win it. Cos i wouldn't want to hear any crap about Southgate knew what he was doing.

Except ndidi none of those players could nail a starting shirt in the English league and it’s division

E get why you just they hype hot garbage

Good move for this lad, Ubong Moses Ekpai (ex-U23 National team player). Making an upgrade from Budejovice where he played on loan from Viktoria Plzen to Czech Champs, Slavia Prague.

European football is his portion in the new season.

Without any iota of doubt, Saka is better than all our wingers, including chuks.

Good to know
Can wait for this English Team to play or so that the hype around them will reduce

Even Denmark,Austria so far play better than them

Yes, but you brought it up again to "further establish" it only because he bagged MOTM award yesterday in his first Major Tournament. That's why I made reference to Chuks' first tournament too.

And like you, ofcos I agree Saka was not expected to make the final cut but Providence happened and he made it.

Also, Southgate needed a spark after England's lacklustre displays so far and he turned to Saka (and not even Sancho) and the lad bagged MOTM. That is very good for him.

But don't you think this puts question marks over the "actual" quality of wingers England have got at this Euros rather than on whether Saka trumps even Finidi of old? Why would they need a Saka to provide creativity if England is so stacked for creativity in the other options they have in Foden, Sancho, Sterling, Rashford, etc? See where I am going?



I don’t know any of our wingers that are better than those players in the bolded.

He is not. What else do I expect from you? Lol

Abeg make I hear word. grin

This is not a joke. Saka is a more matured and nurtured player than Chuks.

Though Chuks has that raw talent but he still needs more polishing.

I ain't joking too.

And when the chips were down and stakes at a high point, Chuks delivered and had better Impact over the two legs of the UEL semis compared to Saka.

Chuks was so influential and a menacing presence in the game that Arsenal fans all over the world were "predominantly" glad to see him leave the pitch injured in the second leg.


So Biko, Saka is better than many of our wingers but certainly not better than Chuks. Thank you.

The Croatia vs Scotland game was far more interesting than the Ponderous albeit slightly improved display of England vs Czech republic.

England vs Czech republic was slightly better than the other two games of the Three Lions. Playing Saka and Grealish improved their plays compared to the others in the first two games but it was still not as exciting as the other games.

How Many Russians or South Africans play in top leagues in the world prior to 2018?

See how ya tryna to sound smart right now, but you know you ain't saying nothing.


So cos they don't play in one league, their ball progression is now going to be wack.


I even apologize for using those tested and trusted EPL, SPL names up there. Heck lemme use NPFL players. Yeah. They will do better than 1metres with the ball per game.

Spare me the League crap abeg. And yeah, you made me go sarcastic!!!

They should be ashamed of themselves with all the facilities at their disposal they still cant match a tiny country like Belgium in football
The last time they won a major tournament was in 1966 when i was not born compared to their mates in europe

Villarreal style of play made it so. Counter attack.

Besides, just one or two good games can't determine which player is better.

Arsenal struggled against Salvia Prague in the first leg and used counter attack to win the second leg.

We all saw Chelsea's players were sh.itty under Lampard especially Rudiger, Kante but does that makes Saka better than Kante holistically? grin

Thats why i no dey use power for those kind arguements anymore, i know the football knowledge of some people here and i know they know the truth on their minds but they will always defend a naija player and i see nothing wrong in that as its just the love for our players.

Morata has to work on his finishing. Spain needs a finisher badly. I believe Moreno is a better finisher than moratta.
