        @coygsu I know. I was just being silly since your wrote smilier though I’m pretty sure you meant similar.

        I worry about burnout too but it’s a pretty hard sell to make to a top player to say you’ll be back up to Saka when you know that means you won’t play that often. Not many top players will want to do that. So i see the challenge in having a suitable backup for Saka.

          I still think Nelson is pretty much as good as we can get for that. And he’s got potential to improve enough to challenge Saka for the spot tbh — though if he gets to that point he might leave to start lol.

            @Astrealix agreed. I think his being a hale end boy makes it more palatable to him to be a back up to Saka - doing his part for the good of the club. That’s a unique attribute for someone willing to be a backup to Saka.
