Hi Eds, I read that we were mentioned going in for Saka last year. Any truth or complete tripe?

He is some player and one I imagine Klopp would love to work with.

Cheers Ed2, that was about as quick as he is.

Saka is considered untouchable by the Arsenal hierarchy - they would not entertain any offer for him unless it was ridiculously high. Xhaka has almost finished finalising his move to Italy and Bellerin is likely to follow to either Spain or Italy. Arsenal is unlikely to need the money but they are looking to move on Aubemayang as well.

I would imagine that Saka to Arsenal is a bit like TAA to us?

lol, I didn't say Saka TO Arsenal. Fabrizio said in his program that the Arsenal hierarchy would not entertain any offers for him. He's generally very well informed.

That's what I meant, Reynard.

That Saka means as much to Arsenal (being a young and exciting prospect) as Trent means to us. Therefore its going to be extremely difficult, nigh on impossible, for any team to prize him away.

Ergo, Saka is to Arsenal what Trent is to us - untouchable.

Definitely a quality talent. Think he would only move if we met Arsenal’s demands (unlikely) and whether he would get the same - if not more - game time (again I think this is unlikely unless we shift one of the wide players on) .

We should all know by now that if a player wants to move there's not a lot a club can do to stop it. Delay it maybe but players will get their move if they really want it.

I am not really sold yet on Saka. Everything I have watched him play, I have not really seen what's so special about him. If I am to take someone from the Arsenal team, then Smith Rowe would be the one. This lad is special and I see him doing very well in our team.
