The next Ballack or Schweinsteiger or something
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Aye the next Ballack. Which he could still be if it Rice could pass the ball forward.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Seriously, where do you get these comparisons from?

Havertz = ballack

----------------------------------------------------------------------
He was a top player of the previous generation - Kai isn’t like that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Called him 'better' skillwise but he isn't a b@st@rd.

Never forget when J99 also said

Kiwior = Ramos when he played at FB

What?

Aye

Saka hater wanted to know where I got the comparison from.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Saka is a top player but completely different type of player to iniesta

The best ever was Capello saying Phil Jones = Baresi

Really? How many times have you seen Iniesta? Just because he is black doesn't mean he is not clever on the ball in the way he uses it. Saka constantly recycles the ball into midfield. Arsenal also look to him as the out ball because he has superb first touch. He doesn't 'go to the byline' or run by defenders with usual stereotypes of wide attackers. He doesn't play anything like Salah or Sane or any other lazy journalism used by pundits who see him for 20 mins on twitter.

Wow 😂

Saka's mantra is receive, pass, offer! Which is very frustrating for people who perceive the only importance of a wide attacker should be take on the last man and get the ball in or shoot.

Saka is a very functional player. His footballing IQ is excellent, better than the likes of Martinelli.

But the Iniesta comparison is laughable

Like I thought you have never seen Iniesta play!

Saka last season:
Progressive Passes Rec - 520 (1st)
Progressive Carries - 155 (3rd)
Carries into Penalty Area - 72 (5th)
Successful Take-Ons - 61 (3rd)
Goal-Creating Actions/90 - 0.49 (4th)
Goal-Creating Actions - 21 (7th)
Shot-Creating Actions/90 - 5.8 (6th)
xA/90 - 0.34 (3rd)
xA: Expected Assists - 11 (2nd)
Passes into Penalty Area - 72 (3rd)
Key Passes - 91 (4th)
xAG/90 - 0.32 (9th)
xAG: Exp. Assisted Goals - 10.5 (6th)
xG: Expected Goals - 5.5 (9th)

No other player ranked in the top 10 in every attacking stat. But he is just 'functional'.

Saka does exactly what Iniesta used to. Keep the ball in the attacking third around the box and constantly recycle the ball to find space for Messi. That's what Saka tries to do for Odegaard who makes the team tick. That is who Saka needs to continue to model his game on. They play the same way. Completely selfless.

Love when J99 starts using exclamation marks

Good. Suicide I hope.

"Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe has completed a takeover of Ligue 2 side Caen."

Definitely a good omen for the future of football

I Caen see it only going one way.

DJ is James Dudko and believes Sane is the best alternative to Nico Williams
