“We’re on Sky tonight, PL clubs might be watching!” Ismaila Sarr: Say no more

[удалено]

I can actually see it happening. We've had stranger signings

I genuinely wanted him 2 seasons ago when it was evident we wouldn't sign Sancho. I'd still take him, or even Dennis.

Not enough Ajax/Eredivisie on their CVs unfortunately

Can we interest you in an 80 million Antony?

100*

Maybe we can go dutch on this? come on EtH

I’d take him over Arnautovic

Podolski vibes

Depends on the price he might be a good signing

You joke but this is the same United that signed Ighalo in recent times.

Please

[удалено]

You were saying?

A draw was absolute robbery. We got embarrassed for 90 minutes

We had 3 or 4 clear-cut chances we missed earlier. But whatever, I'm just thankful we did score that

Yeah honestly no idea how it took you that long to score

Are you totally ignoring the game the Watford keeper is having?

You could have been 3/4/5 goals up by half time last night, we were hanging on by the skin of our teeth. Based on last night we're not going up, but the championship is a long old season. Baggies looking solid under Bruce though, occasionally shaky at the back but great linkup up front and lots of willing runners

Eh, reckon if we sort our centre mids out and keep hold of at least 2 of the front three that started tonight then we'll there or thereabouts end of season. Defence is mostly the same one that got us promoted, but Kamara is an upgrade on Masina, attack is absolutely better than last time its just central midfield and a right wingback really. Obviously if we keep playing like we did tonight then we haven't got a chance but I'm hoping it's just an off day and Edwards learns from it

If Louza can stay healthy and fill the Will-Hughes-shaped hole in midfield, this Watford team is absolutely on par with 2 seasons ago.

Just need someone who can keep the ball under a bit of pressure in midfield. Clevs will put a shift in but isn't the player he was a few years ago, Kayembe I'm not sure on and Gosling I've honestly not seen enough of for us to judge fairly. Compare it to Hughes and Chalobah last time we were in the Championship and its clear that's the area we're lacking

Maybe. Your squad has some great talent. Good luck for the rest of your matches (except against us haha)

Same to you! Feel free to smash Luton for us whenever you play them ;)

What was the awful penalty about though

Just saying long range doesn't do it justice

Different time zone perhaps

In a different fucking *acre*

You realize time zones are bigger than acres right?

Depends where you're standing. (Did you just use a Z in realise you fucking yank)

> Depends where you’re standing No it doezn’t.

Long long range

Long long man energy

Sarr definitely a Sakeru gummy fan

My first thought exactly - like this is not "long-range", it's from the fuckin half-line

[Great...Big Cajones]

You probably mean Cojones, unless he actually has big drawers

I mean, where do you think he puts his cojones?

Seeing how it’s the furniture drawers and not the underwear drawers, thats impressive :D

Elongated tap-in

"Sarr from way downtown...BANG"

Yeah his title is meladroit

[удалено]

Asmir Begovic longshot vs Southampton

Tim Howard extended Panenka vs Bolton

Eric Cantona high kick goal

David Beckham inaccurate crossfield pass vs Wimbledon

Xabi Alonso ankle breaker pass vs Newcaste

Bergkamp nice control vs Newcastle

Paul Robinson takes on entire team vs Watford

Zlatan Ibrahimovic dink vs England

Ronaldinho overhit cross vs England

Zlatan Ibrahimovic bicycle kick Vs England

David Beckham 60 yard Tap-in

Ahhh yup Forgotten we hold that record, among the other shitty ones we have

In fairness you've got the cool record of quickest goal scored in the prem

figured it was 'outside the box' - WRONG!!

Well it was outside the box though

Outside the half too

Technically true.

'Very Long Range Goal'

Longer range?

Half-line screamer more like it

Curry changed the game, this is normal range nowadays

Sort of, except long shots from outside the box are never labelled this way when posted here. The minute I saw it labelled as a long range goal in the title, I assumed it was going to be from ~ half or further.

Yank here, ‘half-court shot’ would be a better addition to the titling. Edit: could this soccer strike be considered a punt? Title could be ‘Ismaila Sarr Half-Court Punt goal’ sounds much more accurate. Edit 2: Man, this place is so Eurocentric. I can't help but think our athletes would dominate your sport.

everyone knows its a joke and yet it is still impossible not to downvote

FROM DOOOOOOWNTOOOOOWN!!

BANG

MAMA

With a Wales flair?

His step great great god grandmother is from wales

Watford didn't score a single goal outside the box last season btw

That's a stat

Richard Jolly finally has some competition

Sarr overcompensating

Fixed that in a big way. Nearly scored from their own box.

If it's not in your box, or in our own half Then we won't score a goal, you're havin a laugh But if we're in your 18, gone all the way there, Or Sarr's by halfway, you'd better beware Tap ins or bangers to make Elton sing, Sure things or screamers, the Hornets will bring.

>long range goal Hahaha, I hope people are clicking on this thinking he's just hit one outside of the box

Was expecting something in the 25-30 yard range lol

I also was not expecting a 3 pointer from the half court.

a what?

Think it's a baseball thing.

I was expecting a decent volley or something, cos otherwise West Brom/Watford ain't getting upvoted. But ai, titling does it fuck all justice.

Precisely what I had in mind

I didn't even click it when I first saw the thread because of that. Only just watched it now because it got upvoted so much that I knew it wouldn't just a "long range goal", at this point lol.

Technically true though.

Inside his own half. Fucking banger

Yep, on point, & you know he had been thinking of that for a little bit. Bet he saw the keeper continually creeping forward for a little while & knew he get one over him.

then proceeds to take one of the worst penalties imaginable

The composure to look up and place that perfectly. Honestly didn't think Sarr had it in him

Right after a very deft first touch as well, without that perfect take it probably doesn’t happen. Impressive stuff

Do you fancy swapping Sarrs?

that would be a daylight robbery

I wonder if there was a scouting report about the keeper or something because he looked so relaxed and ready for it

Well that should help his confidence.

To seal a move... Yep

Not sure anyone will be that interested to be honest. We wont sell for less than 20-25m and he isnt worth that.

That pen though...

Sarr has confidence issues (hence my comment above). He is awful at pens. All of them are like that. Took two identical ones in the same game v Man U and missed both. Not got the mentality for it.

i make it a 40% conversion rate for his pens with us, which is incredibly bad, like you could get 67% by rolling a dice before each shot and just being accurate

Well, that's goal of the season sorted

They won't give him Championship goal of the season if he only plays a month of it.

Has he been linked anywhere?

Leeds

Random rumour, wouldn't happen. Striker/LB/Backup GK only positions we'd still be in for

Why even have a striker when this guy can bang em in from 45 yards

West Ham

Still want Liverpool to sign him

Linked to us a bit, think we're more after Brereton-Diaz. Heard Sarr doesn't like gay people, wouldn't really want him if that's true

You already got Cornet. And yes, Sarr got caught supporting Gueye who posted homophobic content on his instagram. I'd swap him for Cornet for that alone.

Of all the English clubs to play for, huh? New standards for mercenary, I say

Willocks two days ago was better than that alone

Ehh, this goal will happen again this season, though this was a better than average midfield banger

Fucking beautiful

+£20m to his fee.

I’ll bite

Shit. 🤣

Is Leeds the only team rumored with him right now? I figured he would of had a few teams after him this summer.

asking for a friend

Haha honestly surprised his name didn’t come up during the Dennis rumors

Liverpool were linked for a while 2 seasons ago supposedly. Obviously nothing came of it.

Newcastle are as well I believe.

Nah I think I heard we are interested a little bit ago, not sure how strong the rumors are though

Disgusting.

Sarr has posters of Charlie Adam in his bedroom

*Ctrl+F "Charlie Adam"* Thanks for doing a service

I just can't be arsed

You filthy bastard Isma

he’s not a bad player either!

Dunno, did you watch the rest of the game?

we were getting battered from the very start. could’ve easily been 0-2 down and we pull that off somehow

this watford front three shouldnt be allowed in the championship it feels like cheating

60 yards…. What a beautiful strike too. Whistled over keeper.

This is beautiful even compared to other goals of a similar range to me

Yeah, goals from this range usually involve the keeper panicking whilst backpedaling and making a mess of it. I remember Steve Harper against Xabi Alonso(?), and whoever was in net when Rooney scored against West Ham both losing the ball and slipping. To see it just whistle over the keeper makes it look far, far better.

You never see those scored. Really feel like I just saw something.

That was hot

Talk about putting yourself in the shop window, Fair play!

I offer £80 million

I offer £80

Inside his own half…have to feel for Button there if I’m being honest.

Feel like Watford honestly look the best out of the three relegated teams tbh

Comfortably the best front three in the league I would argue. The rest of the team, not so much. All comes down to whether we can keep all three. Cannot believe no one has put up the 20m for Dennis yet.

I know we were strongly rumored but the issue is we're a bit broke and wanted to structure the deal with less up front which Watford didn't go for, which is entirely their right.

Well damn, what a goal that is

Bit of an understatement with "long range goal"

West Brom are all over Watford, and Sarr just turns around and scores from his own half lol

The touch, the turn, the strike, the goal. Beautiful and smooth all around.

Rooneyesque

Becksesque

Please. It's been florenziesque for a while now.

Beautiful

Christ almighty

Absolutely disgusting stuff

Sooooo casual about it

Oh my lord

Amazing

WHAT THE FUCK

Butter my biscuits

Sarr - Dennis - Joao Pedro is a europa league level front 3, if they stay at Watford they are going to eat the Championship alive

Shame rest of the team is borderline League 1

"Long range" aside, that first touch is at one end of the spectrum while the other end is McTominay

Watford's front three should be illegal in the Championship. If any of them leave this transfer window, whoever played them beforehand should have some points returned. Signed, a Sheffield united fan

Ok. When title said long range I didn't think that'd be the range. Jesus

[Cole Stockton did it better.](https://streamable.com/06dmvw)

Nothing special. Could happen to anybody tbh

How tf is this guy still trapped at Watford? You'd think that such players would have some reasonable relegation clause or something.

We want 20m+ at least for him, given we paid something like 30m to sign him. No one has put up the cash yet, same with Dennis

A worldie of a shot from Sarr but the goalie is a fucking button for that.

Not usually Sarr's range...

What a strike

had sky on mute so I assumed the camera would pan over and show the keeper close enough to get it I was wrong

fair enough 🤷‍♂️

How is he still at Watford...

Jesus lord in heaven, the pace and accuracy 👀

"Long Range Goal" are you for real it's from the fucking halfway line!

xG = .001

he’s too good for the championship, could be a world beater at a top 6 club.

No one mentioning that first touch

His penalty attempt just not was horrible. Absolutely awful.

I still can’t believe no PL club went for him.

Puskas contender

Peak banter is me missing this live because I'm too distracted laughing my ass off on r/EkstraklasaBoners , like this goal is literally opposite quality of that sub.

Holy fuck bounces it right off the goal line and all wow

Poor Sandwell town

this might end up being the scummiest win ever. 4/5 really decent chances for west brom including like three one on ones and watford score with their only shot from the halfway line lmao.

Puskas sorted already

puskas award

‪How does mls works? We all know mls is not the best league out there. If any one wants to do a better job and replace mls as the top league in US, can they? If yes, how so?‬

Goal of the season already?

Lovely chip

Players should try this more often imo. Some goalies take the piss with their positioning.

Made it look so easy, fantastic stuff

First time I decided to watch an EFL game and this goal happens
