Player Watch Player Watch: Pape Sarr

[TheChosenOne]

What on earth are you on about.

I knew there was a reason why I put this person on my long ignore list.

 

[thelak]

He reminds me of Patrick Vieira.

Just posted this and saw you already had

probably half the posters on here won’t even have seen him play now

But the tackling, gangly long stride running, passing all look similar

long way to go to turn into the player he was though

 

[djhotspur]

That's an incredible mix ....love a Bueno & Coke.

Very strong. God we need some positive transfer news soon it’s so quiet

Yeah even arse mania are saying that about him

Does Sarr have one leg longer than the other as well as Vieira ?

 

[HarrysBungs]

Please let's stop referring to black players as beasts. Happens all the time on here.

Jeeeez...what is wrong with you? Stop seeing everything through a racial lens ffs

 

[George94]

That Sarr man chant has the potential to be an all time great

 

[Roberts84]

Knowing where to draw the line is a fucking nightmare, but Stamford is not making up that it is a very real thing that black players are described as "beasts," "monsters" and similar to an extent that should make you feel uneasy if you take a step back. And it very much is in line with racist rhetoric throughout history.

I'm not advocating for banning words to describe players of certain ethnicities, but you don't have to be a dick about it, theShiznit, and purposely make yourself more stupid than you are with the likes of your gazelle-comment.

Instead, it is very much something worth being mindful of since people have negative reactions to those kinds of descriptions.

Other than that, Sarr was indeed amazing yesterday!

You could make your point without being rude

I can't believe that anyone would think like that. I know I would call any great athlete a beast and would never consider skin colour. It's surely meant as nothing more than a compliment.

 

[McFlash]

What the actual fuck?!

 

[Col_M]

A Unit is gender and race neutral if that helps move this conversation along.

But what about fat people?!

Seriously, everything can be an insult if you want it to be and it's fucking tiresome.

Really like this. Anyone else think it would be slightly better if the second and last line are switched?:

There's a Sarr man
Who comes from Senegal
He plays for Tottenham Hotspur
And he's magic on the ball

He reminds me of Patrick Vieira.

This was the first thing that sprang to mind on Saturday - seeing his long telescopic legs win the ball in the the slide tackles, the way he carried the ball in midfield and the way he popped up in attack to score the goal seemed very much like a young Vieira. Both from Senegal too so I wondered if he'd grown up idolising him in some sort of way but then I realised that most of Vieira's career would have been before Sarr was even born. That makes me feel old

Great to have a proper box-to-box midfielder in the side. Genuinely can't remember too many that we've ever even had, let alone good ones. Sissoko had a good run of form in 2018-19 but was pretty limited technically. Who else was there? Jenas? Zokora? Sherwood? Not exactly a position we've traditionally had high standards for.

Bentancur.

I predict Sarr will score a couple long rangers this season with both feet.

 

[jurgen11]

isn't "beast" a compliment - I am old and more and more confused - might change my name to Otto by depoll

Absolute wet wipe mate.

I've turned up in the woke thread

That’s a good switcheroo, much better.

I also whispered this quietly to a few at the game on Saturday: psst doesn’t Sarr remind you of Viera
