THANK YOU! This is why I got pissed at Windy. I don't want to go there but I think its an appearance issue with some folk. Sarr is technically really good and yet folk obsessed with his physical attributes. He is absolutely making a nonsense of folk who thought Hojbjerg should be starting ahead of him in this system.

Windy doesn't rate him? Just had to watch the clip of him and Biss mucking around last season which showed off the skill the guy has.
The most exciting thing about Sarr is you can see that a lot of his game needs refining, but look at the level he is at already.
He seems really coachable as well - that’s if your coaching is focused on personal development and not “they must learn the system above all”.
They sub consciously think he’s Sissoko.
The only thing I’d say about his passing is that sometimes he can telegraph them
But he’s getting better with his disguising of them all the time.
His ceiling is sky high, his footballing iq, tenacity, potential and coachability is top tier.
He has a natural way to make it look easy when he carries the ball and passes,
Honestly think it’s a stereotype thing for some.
He does need to get better at receiving in tight spaces and dribbling out of pressure but that doesn’t make him technically poor.
He's got good feet he will get better and better at that. I recall the AC Milan game he ran rings round Tonaili he seems humble hard working and committed he will watch the frankly brilliant Bissouma and Maddison and copy and improve. He will fill out too which will make him better at shielding and riding challenges when he does receive under pressure.
His biggest weakness is his shooting. His ball striking isn't up to scratch.
As an 8 he will get into good shooting positions ( which he does) but needs to work on his shooting.
This is one area where Holbjerg is superior, Bentancur is also better with his ball striking.

Not seeing that at all. He strikes the ball cleanly and well he will continue to pick up goals at a few a season rate. There's a video posted on this forum of him hitting an absolute peach of a shot don't agree with you.
Really!?
I havent got time to look through games but I can clearly remember a few really poor shots off the top of my head and that's both this season and last season.
Anyway , we can keep an eye on that part of his game and see how he does. Hopefully his shooting will be efficient because he gets into good areas and a few goals a season from around the edge of the box would help the team greatly.
This is perfect and realistic. Really hope it becomes a thing.
Tbf that's during covid for a different team years ago with the ball running towards him , generating more pace and power , not with the ball at his feet.
Ive only looked at his shooting for us , and he hasn't done that once yet.
I've always been rather fond of Hojbjerg, I feel that he's actually good enough to play in a top team, as long as has a fellow DM or midfield that's much more dynamic alongside him. BUT, Sarr is a superior all round player no question! So I think as he's already shown so far, he is a very decent impact sub to have when we need some fresh legs, but I doubt he'll be happy warming the bench for long, so I reckon he'll be snapped up by a big club in either Jan or the summer for a pretty reasonable fee.

The difference is between what he can do vs what he does regularly. He can indeed hit the ball well, but usually he doesn't. His long skinny legs also make it hard for him to take snapshots after dribbling past someone of making a run.
He needs to add just little muscle to his legs, specifically hip adductors, so he can strike the ball hard with the inside of the foot.
Goal scoring is very often something that MF’ers refine later on in their development. Agree tho, strikes the ball ok but sometimes shoots when he shouldn’t - decision making improvement opportunity rather than a technical
Excellent chant.
