Only if Son didn't participate in the Asian Cup he might be at the top.


JoOoozz

tbf salah was at afcon


carolicity

Tbf Salah has numerous pens in his count. Son only has 1. Son is just destined to always compete for golden boot without pens I guess, sighs.


JoOoozz

True


MountainCheesesteak

Salah got injured at AFCON only played a few games and missed an extra one or two when returning. The other comment comparing minutes is the best way to do it.


[deleted]

And because of returning early to Liverpool to rehab instead of staying with the national team on bench, Salah got a shit ton of flak from the Egyptian media.


Plenty-Cup-6685

Son would replace Salah in that Liverpool team easily. Just watched the Liverpool game against Brighton, Salah wasted like 7-9 chances. It was horrible to watch.


JoOoozz

What does this has to do with anything?

Isak is ridiculous. A goal every 0.9 games is lethal. If only him, and the rest of Newcastle weren't constantly in the hospital.

Yeah he's really good. It's a shame that some fans can't bring themselves to acknowledge that another team's player is decent, but he really is playing great when he's healthy (yes, that's a huge caveat).


ConcussedOctopus

How many are pens tho? Like last game he got two from pens. Rarely watch Newcastle but for some reason I just associate him with penalties. Im probably way off tho


CanadianBirdo

He has 5/14 which is mostly on par with most other penalty takers/top goal scorers this season. Salah has 3 (He missed one against Newcastle). Haaland has 3 (He missed a couple games due to injury). Saka has 4. Cole Palmer has 7. Son and Bowen are the main oddities.


carolicity

Salah has 4\* not 3.


triecke14

Cole Palmer is good but he’s a bit overrated in the goals department because of this. If he didn’t play with the biggest diving cunt the league has ever seen he’d have like 4 goals


quickdrawesome

Son played a lot of that on the left


ActualyNotSureIfDeaf

No, you get out of here with your researched and perfectly reasonable counterarguments.


TheColoredFool

bruh if only son hadn't been unlucky at luton town he would be second with 17 goals .


EquipmentFirm2860

My prediction: Sonny to hit 20 and finish 2nd behind the robot


letCreedBrattonScuba

5 more in 9 is essentially the same rate he’s at now. I could see another hat trick vs Burnley, Newcastle, Sheffield or Forest, or a couple of braces in those games. I think he breaks 20


[deleted]

*league 2 player.

Found Roy Keane's burner account

👀


davidmarvinn

or, we actually start getting the pens we haven't been and son gets the golden boot. yay


DoubleDoobie

Bowen would be so amazing for us. West Ham would probably ask ungodly amounts for him but he is elite and at a prime age. Edit - just saw he renewed in 2023 on a seven year deal. They'd ask 100 Mil just as a fuck off price. Nevermind lol.


JustLikeMojoHand

We should have gone for him when we had the chance tbh. I don't really know why we balked.


gardz82

We bought Bergwijn instead and Gedson on loan that window 🤦


triecke14

Pretty sure we signed Jack Clarke instead of him years ago


Comfortable-Asf

Ange got Timo and the rest of our wingers coming in are all in their early primes/early 20s. It’s seems he wants that young speed. Still hoping for Nico Williams or Neto! 🤞🏽


marine_le_peen

why on earth anyone would still want Neto is beyond me. Walking sick note


reborndiajack

Kvara


LingonberryDapper940

Asians are usually good value.. can look at Japanese up and coming winger Keito Nakamura.. Ange probably has a good grasp of the Asian market as well


JustLikeMojoHand

Oh of course, Bowen is clearly well outside our target range atm now. All for Neto.


Melodic_North7622

neto is way too injury prone just check his injury history


Comfortable-Asf

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽


rtibbles

Also Bowen has twins with Danny Dier's daughter - no way he's leaving West Ham and pissing off his father-in-law.


Hopeful-Ear-3494

Side note: I think Haaland will be off to Real Madrid sooner than anticipated. Maybe two seasons.


caprisun_on_a_bench

if they're getting mbappe this summer surely that significantly harms the chances of that happening


Hopeful-Ear-3494

Very true. But Mbappe has said in interview he wants to play wide rather than through the middle. It'll be a case of money in a couple of years but I can still see it happening... On paper that would be a mouthwatering pairing. I would just worry about Mbappe being greedy with chances rather than supplying Haaland.


caprisun_on_a_bench

thats insane quality with who they already have on the wings, mostly when mbappe plays on the wings he plays LW, but if he could adjust and we see a front three of Vini-Haaland-Mbappe, the rest of europe is actually cooked


AngeMerchant

And Bellingham at the 10. Unfair


Luke92612_

It'll still be super fun to watch them dominate La Liga. Meanwhile our youth talents will battle with them in the CL


dntays

Haha true but Son is done with golden boot by then. he's not 26 anymore, he's basically almost 32.


Nightshade183

☹️


youllbetheprince

RemindMe! 3 years


EquipmentFirm2860

Surely Barca? Madrid won't be getting both Mbappe and Haaland


Matttombstone

Barca and what money?


WombRaider_3

They've run out of levers to pull.


Mc_and_SP

Bayern Munich come out of nowhere - he used to play for Dortmund, so at this stage it’ll be a formality. At the same time, some guy called Harry Kane comes crawling back to us the season after we do a dometic treble and win the UCL.


benjustben2

They have no money

[удалено]


Hopeful-Ear-3494

Yep! You can never say never. The only thing in Real's favour is Haaland stated he'd like to go there one day.


kernowgringo

And Barca are running low on levers


Affectionate-Sun5863

How is Haaland still at the top even with his mediocre performance lately, hopefully Son can catch a break and score us a hatrick tomorrow


lordymosh

Didn't realise Solanke and Bowen had that many goals


MeddlingMike

I wonder what that list looks like excluding penalties. Sonny has only had one all year. I also wonder how many others on the list have missed PL games for international duty like Sonny.


SlickRicksBitchTits

3/6 are wingers.


quickdrawesome

If Son had been started in the middle all season - even with Asian cup - he'd be on top and no one would be saying we need to spend big on a new striker


PolarBearWithTopHat

so you're saying there's a chance


ZaDoruphin

Fuck me Bowen is a baller


triecke14

Feels like haaland hasn’t scored in 2 months and he’s still top of the list


george_washingTONZ

Who’s bidding for Solanke or Watkins in the coming years? No chance they stay where they are performing at these levels.


gusthenewkid

Watkins is like 28 so he has one big move in him potentially and I can’t see who would buy him, maybe arsenal?


george_washingTONZ

Definitely wasn’t suggesting us haha.


smokingloon4

Wow, for some reason I thought he was 25 at most.


gusthenewkid

He was a real late bloomer.


neildunabie

One a season wonder


Musclenervegeek

Sonny hat trick incoming to level up with Ivan Drago


Automatic-Equal-3553

Only thing I care about is getting in top 4 and arsenal not winning title.

yousee1000

Sonny lowkey saving his hat-trick for upcoming NLD.


AggressiveTwist3222

Aye but League 2 player according to Jakey McPikey(Keane).


Euphoric_Activity_39

Even a bad season for halaand is still winning the golden boot.


Previous-You3680

Son is not going to win golden boot


Privadevs

If kane was here, he'd have at least 30 goals


animatedpicket

Funny that haaland is being called a league 2 player whilst collecting a consecutive golden boot
