Until next summer if we interested to activate his 50m clause
I think we are selling Saliba in the summer, allowing Arteta to sign who HE wants. Not sure he wants to develop a 19 year old.Great Saliba replacement.
Would be a massive shame.I think we are selling Saliba in the summer, allowing Arteta to sign who HE wants. Not sure he wants to develop a 19 year old.
We’ll get what we paid for Saliba, his profile/reputation is in good standing.
Can you do much with a 19/20 year old CB though? Next season he’ll have to be a squaddy who you develop, take him in and out of the team etc. Arteta probably rather have another 23 year old like Gabriel.Would be a massive shame.
I hope that's not the case but you could see that happening.

Esplayn.Saliba is a much better talent than saliba, surprised most haven’t figured out he’s a fraud yet
Yeah because we desperately in need for another CB to add to 8 CB we got already.
i think only Sokratis and Saliba will be gone in January Mustafi won't move and he'll wait to sign pre-contract with someone else similar to Luiz i think also Upamecano won't leave until next summer. this January we desperately need to improve this midfield area.Only hope is that we’re selling a load of them in January. Maybe Calum, Mustafi, Sokratis are all gone with Saliba on loan as well.
Obviously David Luiz is off in the summer as well. I obviously wouldn’t complain if it’s Upamecano. Him and Gabriel would be your CB partnership for a decade.
You saying Saliba is better than the sum of his parts? That's deep, but I'm deep too, so I see it!Saliba is a much better talent than saliba, surprised most haven’t figured out he’s a fraud yet
Nah. Saliba has to play to develop, he won’t be happy to sit on the bench anyway. I can see Gabriel/New guy backed by Holding/Mari.Could you see a set of 4 like Gabriel, Upamecano first choice, with Mari & Saliba reserve?
This.Him and Gabriel would be your CB partnership for a decade.
Much more than with 28+ year old Mustafi, Sokratis, Luiz, Lich, Kola and other experienced wonders we've managed to sign in recent years.Can you do much with a 19/20 year old CB though?
Upamecano is brain dead, fantastic physically and on the ball but not a natural defender. Saliba is while possessing the gifts upa has. Not quite as good on the ball as him but still more than good enough.Esplayn.
Esplayn.
