You're using games from when he was 17/18 to try to prove he's a bench option now, deary me
No. He didn’t make his first appearance for Senegal until he was 19. Naturally he started slowly.You're using games from when he was 17/18 to try to prove he's a bench option now, deary me
I don’t do the whole internet arguments but try this
Pape Matar Sarr - National team
This is the national team page of Tottenham Hotspur player Pape Matar Sarr. This page contains a statistic about the player's national team career.
For 18 games played by Senegal since 1 Jan 2024 he has played 90 minutes in only 5. He has started only 10.
As I said I don’t follow other countries football. If you think he is the next coming of Jesus, go for your life. But in my opinion you won’t find RM or other top CL trying to recruit him. He’s a decent PL player but not good enough for top 6.
I hope I’m wrong.
nope made his debut at 18
Sorry, but it's stupid logic likely formed to fit around your preconceived agenda. By your logic VDV isn't a starter for Netherlands because he's only started 4 games while being in the Netherlands squad 15 times but I bet you're not going to go in to the VDV thread and ask if a 'reserve Netherlands defender' is good enough to take us in to the top 6. Sarr is first choice for Senegal when fit, simple.
Well it’s certainly not 17.
VDV is in a different position. A couple of top class CB’s in front of him at Holland especially with VVD at LCB. I’m bored of this. Let’s see how the season goes and if he is in fact a top class 8 as you allege.
That's why i put 17/18, you wrongly said 19.
bored of your own shit point you made, great
Have never claimed he's 'a top class 8', you've just made that up
No. I backed mine up with stats to demonstrate he’s not first choice for Senegal including over the last 18 months . You backed yours up with “VDV isn’t first choice at LCB for Netherlands replacing VVD”.That's why i put 17/18, you wrongly said 19.

I think you know yours was a rubbish argument. But on the internet everyone can be heroes, at least in their own minds.
I stand by what I said. Sarr is not a Top 6 CM and is not first choice for Senegal. I will go further, he has not improved over the 3/4 years he has been here, whereas Bergvall who is 4 years younger - wow.
It's very likely that if Bergvall would have been around for 3 years then he would have faced the same stagnation issues as Sarr has, in fact Sarr was playing well in the early part of 2023 when Ange came in the stagnated, it's a story with a lot of our players. It was the same previous when he played under Conte, yes he did not improve much but then again the only player that improved in Conte's 2nd season was Kane so it's unfair to judge him on that.
Think this is a big season for him personally.
You said he's 'only' started 10 games for Senegal since 2024, that's 10 of 16 games he's been available for and he's been rested/rotated in the others as is normal in international breaks. Starts their world cup qualifiers, started their important AFCON games. He's first choice when fit for Senegal, bizarre to claim otherwise.
This
He's fine , decent squad depth
But he ain't this generational talent ready to explode like people have been claiming for 2 years now
10 of 18. So 55% he’s been a starting CM. And only finished 5 of those on the pitch.
There must be other Senegalese players ahead of him. Hence he’s not first team.
Thankyou.
10/16, was out injured for the last 2. How many he finished is irrelevant to whether he's a starter or not. He's picked for the important games, he's first choice. Finito.
Or it seems highly, but I do think that if Sarr is to gain midfield prominence, it's going to be in exactly the Patrick Vieira mould, in part due to the obvious physical similarities, but also because he is not a creator and neither can he particularly play wide.
You definitely, do do Internet arguments. Your 'opinions' on a player whose national team you don't watch could be a case study in Internet arguments.
You should simply say I don't rate/like Sarr. But hiding behind Real Madrid, Senegal, and other people claiming he's a generational talent comes across ....odd.
The original post in this particular line of thread was me saying in my view Sarr isn’t good enough for a top 6 team and he isn’t first choice in Senegal. The rest was an…internet disagreement.You definitely, do do Internet arguments. Your 'opinions' on a player whose national team you don't watch could be a case study in Internet arguments.

Yeah that's ALL Internet meat and drink from the obvious opening point to the last . You think Sarr couldn't play in the top 6 teams in the EPL but Kamara Ramsey Onana,Murphy Willock Barns Longstaff just did . He as good as any of them under an actual coach he'll be a useful squad asset. That’s not mistaking him for Zidane by the way he has his limitations but he is easy a top six EPL player. I think you seriously over rate the quality of the league if he's not good enough.. We all have our likes and dislikes your fully allowed yours.
3 in pre season now
Dominating Rice as well
Dominating Rice as well
So... you literally say that he started majority of the games.
And concluded that he is not first pick.
In that topic/claim you can just give up. You posted very opposite.
P.S yea, what a shit he is. Creating the winning goal in EL final and today scored a screamer to beat Woolwich. But you are right. Total crap and should be released
