Saul Niguez

Ross Barkley was the big winner from that Saul performance last night.

 
I'll just leave this here..

According to Spotrac our top four wages are:

1.Lukaku £325k.

2. Kante £290k
3. Werner £272k
4. Saul £198k

No idea if it's accurate but wow.

 
  • Sad
Reactions: Oli
sad thing is only Kante is performing out of those and worth those wages.

Looks like we signed him up on the back of a couple seasons back, not current form. I think most fans thought he'd be a great addition, but so far he's been poor.

Lol no wonder Rudiger and AC want bigger deals. Just need to point how useless Saul and Werner are.

The fact he was willing to come here knowing he'd have a battle on to even be first sub (not to mention Simeone letting him leave on loan) was telling, I didn't expect him to be this bad but it was pretty obvious we weren't getting anything close to his best version.

This is where having three completely established top class players in the middle works against us, no one of any note is coming here until one of those three leave/decline.

Would you want to bring anyone when we have two players full of potential in Gilmour and Gallagher? Also, I'm not sure why these players are getting injured time and again, but it could it be a sign of decline?

That's probably what Saul was brought in for, some filler until one of those two came back but he hasn't been good enough to even furfill that role.

It's really odd how we've suddenly become riddled with injuries the last few years given we had a close to flawless records between the AVB and Sarri eras. Although has to be said if there was ever a "good" time to start having such problems it's now our squad is beefed up, could you even imagine what our line-up would have looked like if it happened anytime in that said era above?

 
He's Bakayoko levels of bad at the moment. Shouldn't be getting any more minutes even with the injuries we have.

 
Slightly less of liability at wing back, but still woeful. I know there is some complaints about Lukaku today, but the balls into the box were f**king terrible, Hudson Odoi not much better tonight either. 

Anyway send Saul back January 1st, pay the money for Tchouameni or Rice or there is no title this season, and thats not down to having bad players, its down to Kante's fitness. He has started less than half of matches available under Tuchel. We are a different team without him, and we are not recognizable with 2 or Kante, Jorginho, and Kovacic is missing.

Saul was done nothing to fill the void we all knew was there over the summer. In hindsight it wasnt great from whoever didnt get the tight player in.

 
Clearly not at the level required. The experiment has failed, we must have a young player who can do a better job?

 
We should call it a day with Spanish players in general. 

 
Just realised he was the one who scored in the 1-1 game in 2017.

 
We should have signed rice in the summer, it's as if our board love sp*nking away money at times.
