Player Watch Player Watch: Pape Sarr

[Misfit]

A genuine two-way player here if he keeps developing. Those don't just grow on trees

Tactically he just seems to fit the system like a glove. Because Porro is playing so high and inside, Sarr has to cover for the rb while also getting forward and being a threat in and around the box. He has such a difficult job and he makes it look easy. Skipp doesn't quite have the range (and GLC doesn't have the motor/defensive instincts) to really replicate what Sarr is bringing so far.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

He made the first goal with a left-footed pass. If he'd tried to get it onto his right foot, the chance would have gone. Confidence as much as ability.

 

[JerryGarcia]

This guy is quickly becoming my favourite current player. Still has a long way to go but it’s exciting to think how much he’s already capable of at 20 years old. Can’t wait for him to bang in his first long range goal, if I remember his highlights correctly from before we signed him I’m sure that was a speciality of his.

 

[HildoSpur]

Faded a bit in the second half but was superb in the first half. Is learning and improving all the time. He is going to be one hell of a player

 

[matty74]

I think he did well in the 1st half but the substitution was right in the 2nd half he was struggling in possession

 

[PCozzie]

He's absolute quality, but still very young and you could see it a little today. One minute he was here, there, and everywhere, and then when they moved Semenyo to the centre Sarr struggled physically and faded very quickly. This is the first time he's had a proper run of games at the top level in the PL and we shouldn't be surprised if he's pulled out for a game or two every so often to recover physically and mentally.

Both Bissouma and Sarr needs new contracts if we want to keep the other clubs away.

 

[VDV11 Fan]

Best compliment I can give to him is that he's fitted in so seamlessly into the midfield that I'd be disappointed if I didn't see his name on the team sheet.

Whereas at the start of the summer I assumed he'd go out on loan. So good.

 

[GMI]

Love his little body punches in the goal celebrations.

 

[HildoSpur]

I thought he was a little shaky in the first half but gained composure and did well. He is only going to get better the more he plays. Definitely deserves his place in the starting lineup for the foreseeable.

 

[chas vs dave]

He undeservedly got the matchball today

I really want him to marry my daughter. I need a son like this boy

As much as I thought selling PEH and signing Gallagher would be a great move, with how well Sarr has been doing, I don't think I want us to sign another 8 or 10 without giving Donley and Devine a shot to see what they can do first.

Yeah I’ve no interest in signing anymore cm’s I think we’re set there for years and I want to see us roll the dice on what we’ve got.

I think we will need another dm but getting rid of skipp will be tricky if we get into Europe again with the need for club trained players

I think the fact we were after a #8 rather than a #6 when PEH looked like he was going to leave means that Ange see's Bentancur as more of a #6 than an #8.

I think Bentancur could play that role very well but I want him and Bissouma in the same team so I would like to have proper backup too.

It’s far from our most pressing need but moving forward I’d like us to sign one

Will Sarr count as home grown?

Think he came as an 18 year old so is possible?

no he spent a season on loan back to Metz
