Negredo, damn that’s a throwback lol. Yeah it’s totally worth it, id give anything to have seen him on his absolute peak though, must have been crazy to watch @Village Idiotwill know. Imagine having watched R9, Messi, and Ronaldinho play for your team lol 

 

 

Gotta say I never watched R9 live, though. I was a penniless student back then and he left after just one season.

 

Also, I'll curse covid for robbing me of one last Messi game before he left

I was in year eight and first lessons got cancelled so we could all watch it in the hall on a big screen.

It was my cousins pub, although I may be remembering it wrong and mixing it up with a Newcastle match as I would have been like 11/12. I can remember watching WC games in school too like was mad

Saka. Watched him up close lately, a lot of the stuff he tries doesn't come off. He's a talent but not near the mark yet and I think he might fade to upper echelon mediocrity

He's played an outrageous amount of football the last two years, never being rotated out as Pepe has shat the bed, think he's gassed to be honest and was much better earlier in the season.

Aye Saka's tired.

 

He's played 51 games this season. Starting 44. He's 20. Can't think of many 20 y'o having played that much time of elite football.

That’s the time to do it, if you can. Come on dude.

Too young to get the required level of consistency and for people to call him over rated after a dip in form.

[Tiresias]

Saka's mint but you often see it in young players, get huge confidence initialy and do really well but then have a difficult time or whatever after a long season or so. Developed right he should gain consistency, or the other way he may not turn into the player hoped for but he deserves patience.

All in he's had a great season. 17 goal contributions at 20 in the PL. Almost twice the amount has apparent £50m player ASM

Saka is fantastic. Put him in the City squad and a combo of Peps coach and actually being able to be rotated and get a rest and he becomes a world class wide forward/winger in 2/3 years.

[The College Dropout]

Pep would make him a left back tbf. 

[Collage]

CR7. An extreme athlete and very impressive to maintain that level for so long. But in terms of pure skill and ability, GOAT? No way IMO. He’s not even the best Ronaldo ever.

[Dinho lad]

Drogba. Fuck off is he that good.

He definitely meant it, ffs.

 

And to think that Brazilian side wasn't rated much back then.

[Wolfcastle]

That Brett Emerton. Did I f*ck ever see why we were linked with him for so long.
