I wish him the best of luck. We still need a left footed back up for Saka. I thought he could be coached to fill in for him but that’s not the case here. Saka needs rest. His game has been off since the start of the season despite the goals and assist. Pepe, in my opinion, would have given a decent amount of offensive threat. We’ll see how Arteta manages Saka’s rests.
Nelson’s gonna play when the cups come. And Vieira can probably play in a pinch. You just don’t not play the best RW in the world though. I doubt we’ll like, ever rotate Saka out in the league.
Saka has played the full 90 too often, in my opinion. We need someone with a smilier profile to sub in for him at around the 65th minute mark against teams like Everton. Pepe is heavily left-footed to a fault but he could give a decent match to Saka’s one-on-one and striking capabilities. Nelson and Vieira are also decent options but, I’d prefer that Arsenal have an outright left-footed RW as Saka’s sub.
@coygsu I know. I was just being silly since your wrote smilier though I’m pretty sure you meant similar.
I worry about burnout too but it’s a pretty hard sell to make to a top player to say you’ll be back up to Saka when you know that means you won’t play that often. Not many top players will want to do that. So i see the challenge in having a suitable backup for Saka.

@coygsu @Astrealix i don’t think there’s anyone smilier than Saka in world football
That’s not the main concern. Saka burning out is the main concern.
