    Yes, excellent news. He is now earning almost as much as Marc Guehi.

      They seem to have been reporting this every month for ages. Still, good news.

      Anyway it has inspired our old friend Flo Balogan and he's currently putting PSG to the sword.

        I fixed him! 2-nil up, 3-2 down

          I honestly do not see a 300k player in him and the fact he's been absolutely pony this season - in a season where we could have really benefitted from him being in form just winds me up. To me we have a good but highly overrated player on the salary of a world class super star.

            Too late to do anything about it now, I'm afraid. Should've said something before we built the Emirates and started making all that money.

            The good news is that, from now on, things are only going to get worse

                Probably his first run of poor form in his entire career and everyone is on his back.

                He's been the standout player in this side for 5 years. If he isnt worth 300 grand a week then none of them are.

                  Also, hard to believe as it is, 300k a week is not really the salary of a world class superstar. It was 10-12 years ago but now it is merely the salary of the top 2 or 3 players at the top 10-15 clubs in Europe.

                  Saka is that, although I agree his form this year is poor.

                    He's never been a player who rips through teams on his own. His magic is really about good technique, great basics and great decision-making in key areas. I think that decision-making has deserted him a little this season.

                      His magic is also very much about not having a centre forward

                        Right, but quite different in that, any player Mikel signs, even "Galacticos" will be expected to put the work in.

                        Non-negotiables and a' that.

                          The Gyok is clearly not a fan of his. Too much fanny-dancing and not enough first-time balls into the box.

                          The Internet claims they do not get on.

                            Those two players were arriving at their last contracts. They had a great future behind them.

                            Saka is about to hit his prime.

                              I'm sure it's technical rather than personal.

                              Although thinking about it, that may be worse
