And don't forget Sancho was better then Saka because Sancho was scoring more in Germany at one point.

Eh? I never said that.

Your exact words was Sancho was more talented then Saka. Well the only way you could believe that was because of his displays at Dortmund as nowhere else as he shown any justification to make such a bold statement.

I'm still waiting for The Sanch to come good as he said would happen. 😎

Osimhen is genuinely world class. There's simply no comparison to Jardel.

Waste of time speculating though as that's a transfer that will never happen.

Well if you noticed I didn't actually put any quote marks around it. It was implied because you did say "He (Sancho) should be where Saka is now as he is the better player." .
But if you tell me EXACTLY why you believed Sancho was more talented then Saka which doesn't involve his goal scoring or assisting at Dortmund several years ago...

It’s just so boring that even after a world class performance that contributed majorly to one of our most significant results in recent history it has to circle back to a way to take shots at him.

It’s pure attention seeking and it’s boring.

It wasn't implied, they mean completely different things.

It's circled back to Watkins cos it's the Watkins thread btw.

It circled back to him, because you had another dig at him, which you are perfectly entitled to keep on doing, but only two days after he put in a really brilliant performance against Forest, on top of all the other really good performances he’s put in since mid-March (West Ham, both Bologna games, Sunderland).
There really just isn’t any need.

A humble request. Please can we not give that tedious, pointless shit any more oxygen. It’s been pretty much the most painful thread to read on the entire board, for months.

One of the few who is continuing to turn up. Sharp with his chances today.

Took his goal really well and unlucky with the offside.

Yep, probably the only one who had a good game although few chances were created for him. Probably could have held his run a fraction more but with how tight the decision was in the end you can't fault him too much. To win the ball with both CB pressuring him though and then finish was Watkins of old, although helped with the keepers decision making.

He’s going to hit 20 goals this season
