Sure if we just ignore reality then you're absolutely right. Let me get Rudy Giuliani's number for you. There's a team that loves that mentality that you'd fit well on. :rofl:

So we went from a close family passing to both of his parents passing?

Nothing but people are starting to get wound up about Saliba. Think we can leverage this.

This is the cycle of Arsenal fans, get excited by something based off nothing but vibes then get mad when they eventually get disappointed even though it was right in front of you.
Arteta is doing his first ever job in a role Arsène (one of the GOATs) and Emery (experienced trophy winning manager) struggled in, of course he was gonna be in over his head this is a big task.

I don’t get this one. A 19yo moves to another country the loses his mother in what sounds like unexpected circumstances.
Arsenal fans across the Internet bleat about poor man management, failed transfer policies, player not being good enough and that reports of player being unsettled is ‘fake news’
I just can’t tie the two things together. Isn’t the death of your mother a complete showstopper? Am I being a bit soft?

Didn't Saliba say in his interviews that he feels ready to play and that not making the EL squad pissed him off?

Are we suddenly experts in judging how people should handle bereavement?
We’ve no right to judge. It’s not like there is a 24/7 fly on the wall reality show to help us guess.
Entitled people throwing about their petty opinions. Leave Saliba alone and stop hyping him for no reason.

Some dodgy sauce:
But Arteta confirms the same:
Haven't seen anything about his loss from any decent sauce, I think he doesn't play because Arteta don't rate him atm.

I was wondering what the bereavement was since we never heard anything official. I looked at his Instagram and his profile pic was what I assume was him and his Mother when he was a baby and it kind of put it together for me.
I think he should be given as much time off as he needs to get it together, but if he feels like he's ready to play than U23 is a waste of time.

Playing u23 takes all pressure off him. He’s still getting some level of football experience and is able to continue his job.

Chris Wheatley deleted a tweet where he said that journalists know about the situation with Saliba's parents but haven't disclosed it out of respect or propriety and just alluded to "personal issues", also expressing his disappointment at the whole thing now being public. This was in reply to a tweet that referenced Kike Marin.

It's not about pressure I'm sure he can handle that. It's about his development, he went from first team starting regular to U23 it's a massive step back.

How do you know he can handle the pressure? Have you seen our fan base on social media?

If by loss you mean death of his mother, its reported in many many places. But you're 100% right, there is no "concrete official" announcement of her passing.
In my experience, when someone passes and there is a lack of clarity in information over what happened the circumstances are often not great.

Because he's a professional and should understand social media criticism is irrelevant.

I was wondering the same about sources but if you look at his Instagram profile pic I think it says a lot.

Doesn't work that way for every player though, they are all different some are more sensitive than others.
Saying that, there is nothing to suggest Saliba is that way and as time goes on this is increasingly looking like an Arteta problem rather than a Saliba problem.
I'm sure if you asked him if he wanted to start in the next premiership match he'd say yes.
