Saliba is special because he has the attributes needed. Very fast, good in the air, quick feet, and most importantly for this position, he's calm in stress situations. He stabilises Gabriel whose a bit of a flapper like Ramsdale. Saliba calms them all down, including Arteta.

Worth his weight in gold.

Saliba is up there with Saka, Martinelli and Ødegaard as the most valuable players on our team. Everyone else is expendable, they are not. You fail to keep them, and it's the second half of the Wenger era all over again.

A calm and collected individual.
He should be getting 250-300k a week. And im more than confident we will offer him a massive deal akin to Saka and the reported package we offered Rice. Saliba will get done, and then its onto Ødegaard

Ødegaard def needs one. I'd also sign White up too. Don't have to go overboard with the salary increase but an extra couple of years and an extra 20-30k a week. Ødegaard obviously more.

Our defence has been pretty mediocre this season all things considered.

Think we expose our defence quite a lot compared to other teams, but that doesn't excuse individual errors like Kiwior not clearing his lines or Zinchenko being done by Trent on the touchline.

We don’t really play with fullbacks and Zinchenko & White get put on their arse a lot if we’re being honest.

Gabriel is the one who is hard to replace. I hope he stays, but in case he opts to leave, I'm sure we can find a good replacement. He should be really stupid to leave a team and fans that value him so much.

You're wrong, no?
We conceded 25 in 27 with Saiba, those aren’t great numbers.
You do understand that was the second best defense in the league at the time, only behind Newcastle who parked the bus whenever possible while we played a high line exposing our defense? Why do you guys bother, just accept the fact that we have one of the best CBs in football, no shame in that

League is very weak

Gabriel? Makes too many mistakes. We’ve conceded more than Utd haven’t we? Agree with Vieira, we need a top CB.

Sure I’m happy with them doesn’t mean it’s perfect, you don’t have to get so defensive and sensitive.

Why is it that Newcastle have conceded less goals than Arsenal this season?

Is it just about the defenders we are playing with, or does it also have to do with the style of play of these teams?

Our defence wasn’t great at any stage this season. The 25/27 was misleading because we got away with a lot. Away to Leeds and Brighton we got ripped apart and they kept missing

So why is Newcastle's defence better than ours though? What do you think the reason is fundamentally?

It's both, some of our defenders don't fit our style and they do worse than they would usually do (Holding, Tierney, Tomyasu), and when we play the way Arteta wants us to play, we'll still concede more than them as our priority is game control, not keeping the cleansheet. We should compare ourselves to City as we try to replicate their style

Their set up. They have a solid midfield. Our problem is we play with 2 high 8s and once you pass them you have huge space with 1 DM supposed to cover it. It’s a setup that will never lead to great defence
